It’s strange that in my country, controversies are generated by the most insignificant things.

When “Water” was being shot in India, it was all over the papers because of the protests and rioting. I don’t even understand why. The movie brings out the pathos and suffering of the widows of pre-independent India with such precision, I am amazed. How could such a movie offend anyone? Perhaps those who are offended are those who still live in denial, who allow themselves to get offended by the truth of our past and those who appoint themselves the moral guardians of a religion the foundation and interpretation of which itself many question.
