Today's topic is all about "Padmaavat "- a Sanjay Leela Bhasali Production.
Instead of Calling it a Movie topic , let me call it a Rajput Topic or may be "Indian Caste System"
Rajput means Kshatriya in North India !
To all Rajput's (North Indian Kshatriya's ) who are reading this post , this post is not meant to offend or insult you.
Padmaavat , the movie for which i wasted my precious time and energy
Rani Padmavati (Deepika Padukone) the warrior Rajput princess of the Kingdom Sinhala, was projected as a strong and an independent women who marries Rajput ruler - "Maharawal Ratan Singh"( Shahid Kapoor)
13th century Afghanistan Khiljis plots to seize the throne of Delhi
Khilji's seized the throne of Delhi and won Delhi
Allauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh) who became the Sultan of Delhi is projected as warmonger and also a womanizer -an uncivilized savage ,a decoded character who harass and sexually assaults every beautiful woman - this iam sure could be right.
Thats exactly how the Sultanates of Afghanistan who once upon a time came to rule India - treated Indian woman!
And when Deepika's ( Rani Padmavati's) husband - Maharawal Ratan Singh was killed by Allaudin Khilji ,
Deepika decides to kill herself rather than be sexually assaulted by Allaudin Khilji.
Instead of surrendering herself to a life of sexual slavery , she chose to die - commit suicide and it is not suicide according to Rajput Kshatriya Culture this type of suicide is a brave act and is called as Jauhar in Hindi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jauhar
If you have read and understood the meaning of Jauhar ,then let me tell you at least in the south of India Jauhar is not considered as a brave Kshatriya act , it is seen and observed as a coward act in the south of India
In the movie Deepika who is Rajput Kshatriya is given the status of Goddess only because she killed herself -only because she committed Jauhar. The Rajput pride is an issue that is laughable .
Killing yourself is a coward act and this Rajput pride of North Indian is an issue that is Laughable.
On top of that Deepika's 3 inch bare mid riff has become a national concern for the North Indian Rajput's.
I was totally surprised to see that North Indian Kshatriya women covers her face and body and not let any man other than her husband and relatives see her.
I dont think this is an issue that women should really be proud of ?
In the first place you want to give the status of Goddess to a women - Rani Padmavati who killed herself which is a coward act and then her bare mid-riff has become an issue and not in line with Indian culture.
I cant stop laughing about it .
Some of you might be wondering that if she was not killing herself how the hell she could have protected herself from the Afghan Khiljis? My question is if she was a warrior princess , she should have learnt how to protect herself.
Not only Deepika , all other woman of all age groups may be some 30,000 plus woman jump into fire and kill themselves in the movie and commit "Jauhar"
and after watching the movie - i was looking for a bonfire to kill myself for watching such a movie lol..
Let me tell you the meaning of Kshatriya according to Bhagavadgita.
In Bhagavadgita Krishna tells Arjuna about Caste System:
Bhagavadgita , Chapter 4 , Shloka 13
Pls read this very carefully.
cāturvarṇyaṃ mayā sṛṣṭaṃ guṇakarmavibhāgaśaḥ
tasya kartāram api māṃ viddhy akartāram avyayam
चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः ।
तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम् ॥४-१३
Krishna says Arjuna that
"The four fold chatur varna caste system that exist in India was created by me (Krishna) and is based on Karma means "your actions " and it is not based on your "condition of birth"
1. Kshatriyas - Those who fight like soldiers for Truth.
2. Brahman - The one who is learned all Vedas and Upanishads and has realised that Krishna exists in his soul /Brahman means soul.
3. Vaishyas - Merchants , one who is engaged in Business and money - selfish actions and lack of wisdom.
4. Shudras - Labourers with lack of Knowledge
Meaning :
You cannot feel proud of yourself for being born in a particular clan.
Your parents had sex and sperm moved and you were born and thats it!
You cannot claim that "even if i commit suicide it should still be seen as a brave act only because iam a born Kshatriya" is wrong .
Bhagavadgita /Krishna want every man to attain the position of Brahman
According to Bhagavadgita , every man/woman is a born Shudra until he/she is initiated into reading Vedas and become a Brahman .
According to Gita , Brahman means soul means God and every man regardless of his birth can attain this position of Brahman if he practice what is right in behavior and actions.
Brahman means Wisdom , Ram's wisdom , Krishna's wisdom.
The Bhagavadgita says that a shudra is the one whose actions are bad and hence he is untouchable !
I have met a Brahman boy very recently -meaning one year ago , who never wanted to marry in life.
all that he wanted was"Sex" and also was dating multiple women at the same time and when i asked him what will you do when you get old he said - "I will employ young beautiful nurse to handle me , i dont need children"
According to Bhagavadgita - he is shudra by his actions although his parents have registered his caste as Brahman in School .
Iam sure if he is still following my post , he would be upset reading this , but i cannot write false here.
What i want to claim is that according to Bhagavadgita one has to attain the status of Brahman by his pure actions and education and reading of Vedas.
Brahman is not caste it is a position one has to achieve in his lifetime with his values and ethics and it is not related to a condition one is born into , it is related to his actions and behavior.

I belong to Kshatriya community - not from royal family -ordinary soldier family
Iam a proud Kshatriya but not like the Rajputs who believe in covering their body entirely....
I dress up modern ......
My maternal grand parents were Kshatriya by birth and attained the status of brahman by reading Vedas and Bhagavadgita .The entire village in Alappuzha respect them.
The famous Ashwathy Festival the Kali Festival in Kerala where thousands of devotees from all over Kerala gather in front of my maternal family house "Pudukkundam House" and a temple car is built on the land that belong to my family and Goddess Kali is decorated and made to sit inside the chariot and the dancing devotees will take her to Temple.
You can read about my family here : http://www.valiyakulangaratemple.org/kettukazhcha.php
Today part of these Activities like Anna danam is happening on my land and iam not a Brahman still a Kshatriya - i keep fighting sometimes , i end up hurting people , but trying my best to attain the status of Brahman , realize Ram in my soul.

Some day i want to attain the status of a Brahman , realize God in my Body , Mind and Soul!
According to Bhagavadgita -Brahman is not a caste it is a position that every man on earth can attain by gaining wisdom and knowledge.

Lets come back to Rajput !
Padmavati story is a real cheap story .
I felt like or wanted to end my life for watching such a cheap movie.
Rajputs were Kshatriya by birth
but according to Gita one can attain the status of a Kshatriya only by actions and not by birth
So in that way ,Rajputs are not Kshatriya according to Bhagavadgita ..because they were engaged in a coward act called Jauhar or Sati.
There is no word called as "Jauhar" in Bhagavadgita
