I watched the movie \u201cKerala Story 2: Goes Beyond\u201d along with Aacharya Sri K R Manoj ji and colleagues. It was the first show at 10:30 AM on February 28 at PVR Theatre in Mumbai.<\/p>

I can say with 100% certainty that the film has done justice to the subject. Because through love, romantic manipulation, promises of marriage, blackmail, and planting misconceptions, girls are being converted and recruited for extremist and terrorist activities through what is described as a \u201clove trap jihad,\u201d and such incidents are still happening without obstruction.<\/p>

This is not limited to Kerala or other Indian states; such incidents are reported in various parts of the world as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The film also includes the common arguments often made by those who fall into such romantic traps.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
For example:<\/div>
\u201cI am an 18-year-old girl. I have the freedom to decide my own life.\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cWhy bring religion into love?\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cIsn\u2019t ours a secular country?\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cJust because a few people did something like that, does it mean everyone is the same?\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cMera Salim aisa nahi hai (My Salim is not like that).\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cThis is all Islamophobia.\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cWhatsApp University propaganda.\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cWhat\u2019s the problem if someone converts?\u201d<\/span><\/div>
Through various conversations, the movie also portrays the indifference of society and what it presents as misguided thinking on this issue. For example:<\/span><\/div>
\u201cAren\u2019t we Hindus the majority? Why should we be afraid?\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cThis is just a matter of personal issues between a man and a woman.\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cThis happened because the children were not brought up properly.\u201d<\/span><\/div>
\u201cMy daughter would never become like that.\u201d<\/span><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"The\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
These are some of the examples shown.<\/div>
At one point, a father says in despair,<\/div>
\u201cIf we haven\u2019t learned even after a thousand years of slavery, may God save you.\u201d<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Remember, many of those who suffered are people who once believed this would never happen in their own families.<\/div>
Even incidents that happened in the homes of many comrades (including mine) have not been enough to awaken some people.<\/div>
A leader from Kasaragod who used to deliver speeches calling \u201clove jihad\u201d a Sanghi propaganda reportedly returned home one day only to find his own daughter caught in such a situation. When will society realize that this is a caucus that turns children against their own parents?<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Another notable feature of the film is that it does not end merely with tragedy, but with a sense of hope.<\/div>
In the final part of the movie, we see a powerful storm of resistance arising from the anguish and frustration of parents and ordinary people who have endured pain and suffering. The last 20 minutes take the audience to an emotional high.<\/div>
The theatre echoed with applause and chants of \u201cBharat Mata Ki Jai\u201d and \u201cHar Har Mahadev.\u201d<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Radicalization Strategies and Objectives:<\/div>
Another notable aspect is that both films largely depict what they describe as the goals and strategies of the radicalization lobby.<\/div>
According to the portrayal in the films, the strategies and objectives include:<\/div>
Establishing a close relationship through charity (financial help, jobs, land, etc.), good behavior, friendship, romantic involvement, promises of marriage, marriage, or marriage proposals.<\/div>
Asking questions under the pretext of curiosity or learning.<\/div>
Criticism and mockery.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Religious comparison \u2013 presenting their own religion attractively while hiding its negatives and highlighting the flaws of others.<\/div>
Brainwashing.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Conversion.<\/div>
Tactics and plans to ensure the convert remains firmly committed.<\/div>
Madrasa and missionary systems aimed at influencing the next generation of those who convert.<\/div>
Creating jihadists for extremist and terrorist activities, etc.<\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Objectives:<\/div>
According to the film\u2019s narrative, the objectives include creating an Islamic-majority society, increasing vote-bank strength in democratic countries, using that influence to propagate religion (for example, groups such as Vilakkumadam Group, Hidayath Sisters WhatsApp Group, testimonies, etc.), drawing some individuals into narcotics and sex rackets, as well as extremist and terrorist activities, and ultimately establishing an Islamic state.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Among those who convert in this manner, only some are portrayed as moving further into religious fundamentalism and terrorism. It is claimed that there have been more than ten instances in India where individuals allegedly moved into terrorism through what is described as \u201clove trap jihad.\u201d<\/p>

The message conveyed is that countering such extremist agendas is the responsibility of those who desire peace and harmony in the country – and that what is needed is awareness and courage to do so.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
