Online Discussion: Interview of Writer of Bajirao – Mastani, Prakash Kapadiya









# Teacher’s instructor-

Ref: Interview of writer of Bajirao-Mastani Prakash Kapadia.
We can learn 

1) How long it takes in making of Historical films.
 

2) How extensive Research is done by writer?
 

3) Converting History into Literature is difficult task.
 

4) When writer says that it is an attempt to see past through today's spectacles/goggles; we remember the relevance of Eliot ' s concept of Tradition which involves Historical sense which involves pastness of past and it's presence, consciousness of past, timeless n temporal, contemporaneity etc. Not merely protector or the one who lives in Past but the one who sees past through present.
 

5) the controversy is bound to happen , and there is nothing wrong in  controversy. Literature, through "imagination", tries to answer questions left unanswered by History.

Share your views on the small interview attached. Try to connect it with the study of literature ans literary criticism / theory.

# My response:

        The movie Bajirao Mastani is not totally depended on history it has an element and effort of director and writer. Past is connected with present for better future, with the information provided by history the director of film has presented the situation of that time but with such effects of present time. This can be connected with the essay of T. S. Eliot tradition and individual talent. Society should not make such issue with that it is not a story of Bajirao as a historic character but it is a character from history as a lover. The making of movie has taken 12 years it suggests that how much hard work has done. Society should take it as movie rather than a historic or religious issue.
