Today i went theater to watch Hindi movie 'Raazi'.The tile means 'Agreed'-Agreed to do. The movie is about a women spy who is married off by her father, who is Indian agent , to the enemy country's prominent army family.She then gather confidential defense and combat information and supply to Indian intelligence. In course of her pursuit, she kills the loyal servant and elder son of the family where she was married off. She ditches the family who loved her.She murdered their trust to fulfill her duty. The plot of the movie was good but the very idea of the patriotism did not appeal me at all. How much you think is justified that we should sacrifice the humanity in the name of patriotism? Who you keep above- the humanity or your love toward your nation?

For centuries, innocent people and soldiers have been dying because their countries go to war. Soldiers must fight and die for their country, even if some of them do not feel patriotism - war is terrible.

Great response-Soldiers must fight and die for their country, even if some of them do not feel patriotism. They are Machine even though we hate to admit it and with all respect to them.

Humanity for sure. People need to practice the art of "sharing". This earth belongs to ALL of us, each country in the name of humanity. Borders promote division and separation of humanity.

@arunima25 I can understand ,it is very difficult for vanity to agree. Love created the family,fear the society, and Vanity the Nation.

Love towards the nation and serving it is the greatest form of humanity. That's my perception. I watched the movie and found it a worth watch!!

@suripunj He didn't preach that. He was for non- violence.. offering other side of your face if someone slaps on one side. I am not for this
