Glorification of village in Indian cinema: A Cynical Politics & Conspiracy

    
                             To maintain   class, caste system, varna system
Since very inception Indian society has been divided into caste system and varna system the purpose of these system was to maintain social and economical hierechy which include the supremacy of the particular caste .  many things had undergone the changes , poltical  and economical system has undergone many changes and taken new shapes but social system remained same as it was tried hard to maintain same asit was earlier in primitive society as it was serving the economical interest of the perticuler class .
Many social moments launched and initiated to eradicate all social eveil , education  and scifintic development  brought about many changes in society itself  but the core value or spine of the Indian society was never touched or tried to be broken .
Cinema  as a most powerfull  medium came in to existence and was considred most effective tool of social change so called ruling class used this medium as a poltical weapon , as a weapon of propegenda  and also to dissiminate theier ideology in order to fulfill this purpose
Earlier cinema in India typically on god and goddess  on  mythological stories but since  the beginning of talking film no matter it is Hindi , Telgu , Marathi , Bangle , or any other language  Village has been glorified by all the Director and producers .
By the end of 1950 due to freedom and other social political movement ,society was undergoing the change and due to  industerlization ,modernization , and in order to shaping and forming the new administrative system many changes were taking places . in  metropolitan cities due to education and modernization new social atmosphere was developing which was away from old social and cultural values free from all Skelton of tradition and fearless from all the fears .
Media fraternity, intellectuals and feudal classes were worried about all these changes as these changes in future could throw their thorns  , their political and social powers could be thrown out of the ring . it was really a matter of concern .
Though by 1955  a golden period of Hindi Cinema was started  as many  world class films were coming up which  were reflecting inhuman values , plight of inqual society   crime , and social poltical crises but the same time  many film makers with old orthodox values and mentality  came ahead  and had been regulely producing the film which can stablise the Society   . for this purpose they   produced the film which gloriefed  the Village life
It is very important to know that what was the reason and polticics or conspiracy behind gloroifying the  village   first lets have look on the points which were always highlighted in the village life
1.       Village man are honest
2.       Village man are pure hearted
3.       Village people are patriotic
4.       Village people are kind  and good at heart
5.       Village people value the tradition
6.       Village people  respect human values and relationship
7.        Village people are true lover
8.       Village people are not selfish
9.       Village people can sacrifice their lives
Against or in contrast City people are cunning , selfish , Trencher , perfidious, malicious , ill mentality , immoral , disrespectful to relationship and parents , dishonest
Here is the list of some films  through which you can judge the village people on these points
Mera gao mera desh,Gawaanr, Gopi ,Sholey ,Satyam shivam sundram ,Swaedsh ,Saavan ko aane do
Sargam , Prem Rog , etc.

It is quite obviously   that everyone where he want to live want  good society  and all the relationship which can be respected ,  and true love and peaceful life


Film maker or producer in fact  want to  maintain   and glorify the, Social system , Caste system , Varna system.  This was the reason they glorified  the village life  as village in india is social unit of  where all tradionas , orthodox and old vlues are maintained ,  old social system is maintaind . so if village is broken I Indian social system is broken so in any case and at any cost  all the brahmanwadi  have put in all their effort to glorify the village
