Abstract | Abstract: The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, a 2022 film is based on the mass exodus of the minority Kashmiri Pandits from their homeland. The film extensively deals with the contested land of Kashmir. The mass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits in the wake of garrulous ethno-religious tension marks the tragic history in the memory of the people of Kashmir. The miserable displacement of 1989 has rendered them homeless for ages with no recluse. Thousands of them have dispersed to various regions of the country. The exact number of deaths and casualties varies according to various research. Agnihotri uses their bitter experiences as insidious instrument to manipulate the religious tension existing between two communities, Hindus and Muslims. He has masterfully constructed the half-truth, thus giving a deadly concoction with half-lie. The film is made to rouse the grudge against a particular community specifically the “murderous Indian Muslims”, who do not have any conscience. Agnihotri champions in grabbing the attention of the audience by weaponizing the painful experience of the Pandits. With all its strategic dramatic presentation, the film, blurs the boundary of truth and propaganda. The manufactured truth with its vicious presentation castes the Muslims collectively in negative light. Therefore, the present paper examines the film and seeks to find answers to the following questions: firstly, how far the narrative of The Kashmir Files gives a true projection of Kashmir ordeal; secondly, it observes whether thirty years of institutional silence has now been heard only to be used for diplomatic gain; and finally, how far the narrative of The Kashmir Files is a propaganda narrative examining the political fabrication of their painful experiences. |
