A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness






About this movie
                               :- ‘A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness’ is a 2015’s documentary film by Sharmeen Obaid – Chinoy bout honor killings in Pakistan. The documentary follows the story of a nineteen – year – old girl, who survives an honor killing attempt by her Father and uncle. The protagonist has a solid stance on not forgiving her attackers; however, the public pressures her into forgiving. By doing that, the attackers are free and can return home. The regime of honor is unforgiving: women on whom suspicion has fallen are not given an opportunity to defend themselves, and family members have no socially acceptable alternative but by attacking the woman.

The wite Tiger
                         :- Balram Halwai narrates his life in a letter, written in seven consecutive nights and addressed to the
Chinese Premier , Wen Jiabao . In his letter, Balram explains how he, the son of a rickshaw puller, escaped a life of servitude to become a successful businessman, describing himself as an entrepreneur.
Balram was born in the rural village of Laxmangarh , where he lived with his grandmother, parents, brother and extended family. He is a smart child but is forced to leave school in order to help pay for his cousin's


dowry and begins to work in a teashop with his brother in Dhanbad. While working there he begins to learn about India's government and economy from the customers' conversations. Balram describes himself as a bad servant but a good listener and decides to become a driver.
After learning how to drive, Balram finds a job driving Ashok, the son of one of Laxmangarh's landlords. He takes over the job of the main driver, from a small car to a heavy-luxury described Honda City. He stops sending money back to his family and disrespects his grandmother during a trip back to his village. Balram moves to New Delhi with Ashok and his wife Pinky Madam. Throughout their time in Delhi, Balram is exposed to extensive corruption, especially in the government. In Delhi, the contrast between the poor and the wealthy is made even more evident by their proximity to one another.
One night Pinky Madam takes the wheel from Balram, while drunk, hits something in the road and drives away; we are left to assume that she has killed a child. Ashok's family puts pressure on Balram to confess that he had been driving alone. Ashok becomes increasingly involved in bribing government officials for the benefit of the family coal business. Balram then decides that killing Ashok will be the only way to escape India's Rooster Coop . After bludgeoning Ashok with a bottle and stealing a large bribe, Balram moves to Bangalore , where he bribes the police in order to help start his own taxi business. Interestingly, Ashok too is portrayed to be trapped in the metaphorical Rooster Coop: his family controls what he does and society dictates how he acts. Just like Ashok, Balram pays off a family whose son one of his taxi drivers hit and killed. Balram explains that his own family was almost certainly killed by Ashok's relatives as retribution for his murder. At the end of the novel, Balram rationalizes his actions and considers that his freedom is worth the lives of his family and of Ashok. And thus ends the letter to Jiabao, letting the reader think of the dark humour of the tale, as well as the idea of life as a trap introduced by the writer.

                     Here we see that sharmeen and Arvind Adiga both the try to put their Nations darker side to the world by their work but we find that the white world or the Supremacy world always like that type of thing that the Asian countries Dark Side whenever present they feel very good thing and they always try to appreciate this type of literature your movie and other also more stop that type of literary work I get success in their awards and other ceremonies we can find that the our writers which there describe our darker side then they get price but whenever they present our Nation's Goodside that work cannot notice bye white world.
              The second thing was that if they are portrayed our writers or movie makers presenting our culture or our Nation's darker side to the world for the give a message that how the Nations are so narrowness and  daker we can see it but it's give a wrong message to the world .
                   It is harmful for our Nations progress or its restriction for our economic growth and it's give an image that the Asian countries are very poor and the. Prove by our writers and movie makers that's why sometime our governments try to stop that type of movies and literary work to publish which describe our Nation's as a bed that right to bend this thing.
                  At the end we can say that the Portrait of nation as a bad or bad side of the culture it is good thing or it is our freedom of speech we can use it but we can also see that which where we live we have to respect our Nation and our Nation's culture and we have to do both the thing but I'm committed that not harmful for our Nations reputation also we have to see this
