from Post # 67.

What role could be played by the history-based-fictions in moulding pubilc opinon? For example by works like 'Delhi' by Khushwant Singh, 'Sword of Tipu Sultan' by BS Gidwani etc? Especially the novels in Hindi and other Indic languages? Some of the best sellers over last few decades include novels like 'सह्याद्रि की चट्टाने' (Rocks of Sahyadri) by Acharya Chatursen which is to be given due credit for educating naive Hindi readers about the life and thought of Shivaji, several decades back when reading was still popular. Likewise 'चन्द्रगुप्त' (Chandragupta) by Jayshankar Prasad, and various novels by Gurudatta in 1960s are some examples of popular history-based "fictions" with nationalistic hue...

In today's age of mass media, what could be the role of history-based ficions? ('Da Vinci Code'-like fiction for busting false histories from people's minds?) What do members feel? What about some good movies (I have not seen one good movie on Shivaji, Rana Pratap or Maharana Sanga, while there are several for Mughals like 'Mughal-e-Azam', 'Taj Mahal' and so on. Recent movies like 'Asoka' etc were complete flop show. Likewise why aren't movies with scale and quality like 'Gandhi' made for other national leaders? 'Sardar', 'Saja-e-Kalapani', 'Mangal Pandey' did not reach that level for sure, and Lagaan while good, did not have enough history displayed in it. Have not seen 'Bose' - not sure about that.

I am sure movies will play a large role in moulding public perception.
