Mallika Sarabhai on 2002, Rocket Boys, and how Gujarat has changed in her lifetime | NL Interview

Күн бұрын

#MallikaSarabhai is an artist, actress, classical dancer and activist from Gujarat. In this conversation with Manisha Pande, she talks about how Gujarat, and particularly her hometown Ahmedabad, has changed since her childhood, her relationship with her parents, the 2002 Gujarat pogrom, her brief stint in politics, and what separates activists from politicians. “Activists don’t play on the common denominator of fear, hatred and insecurity,” she opines, “politicians do”.
Talking about the 2002 carnage, she recalls, “My neighbours were going out there in cars to loot shops and calling their friends to say, ‘Mattresses are good in this shop and we are looting so come.’ My dentist might have been out there, my gynaecologist might have been out there.”
She also explores the nuances the TV series Rocket Boys missed about the relationship of her parents, classical dancer Mrinalini Sarabhai and space scientist Vikram Sarabhai.

Once the interview started, I just could not stop listening. Manisha prepared well and did a wonderful job of interviewing her. Everything about Mallika, her family, her work, her struggles struck a deep chord in me. It was geniune and balanced. It brought out my Indianness as never before. Perhaps because I am only a few years younger than her. Whatever it may be. it opens our eyes to what we have become and what we promised ourselves to be when we became a independent country. Hyperconsumerism and xenophobic pride is wreaking a havoc once again across the world. I wish now to know more about her and her work. A wonderful human being that all Indians can be proud of.I will also share this video to all my contacts.

Wow. Interesting. I lived in a mainly hindu area, with a Muslim bakery. I remember in 90s my cousin was part of the group that joined riot against Muslims. They broke into the one bakery and distributed ice cream. My cousin who participated in it, his father was in police. And he aimed to be in police. As a child i remember thinking, how is this okay? It is stealing. Basically wrong. But no adult stopped him from going or reprimand him. The point of gujrati migrants was key. Something i always wondered.

Ahmedabad and Gujarat generally seemed to be a cultural desert where making money seemed to the only obsession people had. Mallika Sarabhai herself and her family on the other hand were and are names synonymous with the finest representation of arts and culture that Gujarat offers

lovely interview, great questions asked and some great replies. Though I still believe art is a prerogative of the rich, and much more needs to be done to bring people from marginalised sections to performing arts. I think she interpreted it wrongly, and only discussed how can her art be influential, but that is how art remains within the discussions in the drawing rooms of few people. Nonetheless, thanks for doing this piece. Mallika Sarabhai is brave and speaks her mind fearlessly.

Recently when in north india their was a bandh announced by manuvadis against reservations they found themselves isolated as the obc’s didn’t participate hence soon thereafter hindu- muslim sporadic riots were orchestrated all over the north to cement the wedge between the oppressing castes and the oppressed castes hindus by positioning the muslims as a common enemy as is always done by these manuwadis …

She is good for interview. But why did you interview Anar Patel- she did pure bjp propaganda and you didn't cross question her. Not expected from news laundry.

Question everything! That is the real Hinduism. Read any scripture from Bhagwat Geeta to Upanishads or Vedas. They are full of just questions and answers. Can't you see that Arjun kept asking for seven chapters even after seeing the Virat form of Krishna as God himself. It is our culture to ask questions even if God himself is in front of us. But still some people feel offended that why is Supreme court is asking questions! Are they above God?
