Love jihad cases of Kerala

On the Love jihad talk page, I have mentioned some cases (other cases are not) of Love jihad in Kerala here - I don't want to repeat those here. Please add them to this article also if you people deem it fit. I am new here and can't make 500 edits to become eligible to edit this article.-1Firang (talk) 10:20, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

This is an article about the film "The Kerala Story" not about kerala state. These points has nothing to do with this film. Tousif ❯❯❯ Talk 11:21, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
This proposal alone shows a blatant attempt at POV-pushing, any halfway-competent (as I believe you are) editor would know that this list is even less proper here than it was when it was initially shotdown, which leaves only an attempt at POV-pushing as to why you would request this.

One reference has become misreporting.

The reference

"'32000 Kerala women in ISIS': Misquotes, flawed math, imaginary figures behind filmmaker's claim". Alt News. 8 November 2022."

has become invalidated as there is no claim in the entire film about 32000 women joining ISIS. The film only mentions about 32000 women missing from Kerala state but does not elaborate on reasons and does not specify that the missing women joined ISIS either. If after the fact when film has been released, a reference become an instance of misreporting, should its use be continued? ram das ᵐᵘˡʰⁱᵈ 00:00, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

This topic may be removed. The director has indeed made changes to the movie after this news was published. ram das ᵐᵘˡʰⁱᵈ 20:36, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I’m sorry but unless you can provide evidence that’s a little stronger I think it’ll probably stick. Saying “32,000 girls from Kerala have gone missing” in a movie about girls from Kerala going missing to join ISIS is an implication so heavy it might as well be a statement. I could be wrong though, this page has a few other stalkers who might disagree. Googleguy007 (talk) 21:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

1. in 3rd line of page which states "The film has courted controversy for falsely claiming that thousands .." remove this world falsely as it make statement quite bias and judgmental rather than being neutral. Singhal.iitr (talk) 15:15, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

You misunderstand Misplaced Pages policy on neutrality. We cite multiple sources demonstrating that the claim is false. 'Neutrality' does not involve failing to distinguish between reality and falsehood. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
this statement is backed by only 2 sources, and both are newspaper which are not credible one. and more than that the claim of 32000 has been taken down by movie director. So, it won't be a rational idea to put a bias statement like this based on just two newspaper sources. Apart from it, this statement without the word "falsely" itself is self-explanatory that claim of 32000 was controversial. So, using falsely is here completely irrelevant and pro-judgmental. Singhal.iitr (talk) 11:32, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
To be fair, the sources cited there mentions the pre-release trailer of the film. To say that "film has claimed" is probably a misrepresentation. Mixmon (talk) 17:08, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
No it isn't "misrepresentation"; the sources explicitly say that the film made the claims, which it did because trailers, marketing and production are all part of a film. Looking at the reviews, it doesn't appear anything is different in the plot of the film either. Tayi Arajakate Talk 18:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
@Tayi Arajakate which review you are talking about here ? have you yourself watched the film? ,or you are just stating it based on media reviews and YouTube reviews? There is nowhere mention of this number in whole movie. I am not getting why these two newspaper sources are being considered infallible here? Even these newspaper contents are also a personal opinion of writer and that's why newspapers are not even considered as credible evidence in court of law.

I saw the movie. Please now add this to the plot section:-
The movie begins with a display that it is based on true incidents and portrays how some female nursing students are brainwashed by one Asifa, some Muslim boys and Muslim priests into believing that Islam is superior to other religions - that Kafirs (non-Muslims) burn in hell, that Jesus was unable to save himself from being tortured to death and hence cannot save others, that Krishna had so many girlfriends, that if one wants money, a Hindu has to pray to a particular God and if one wants power, that Hindu has to pray to another different God and so on but instead, if they pray to "Allah" who is the only God, He alone grants what is asked for. In a mall, these girls are molested but instead of helping them lodge a complaint, they are brain washed by Asifa to believe that if they wear a hijab, which will make them appear decent, these things will not happen and they comply. The Muslim boys are given money and told to do, "love jihad" and even get the girls pregnant if needed. Then one girl realises what is happening and goes back to her parents but unfortunately for her, her Muslim boyfriend who has her nude photos blackmails her to go with him to Syria to join the ISIS but when she refuses, he gets those nude photos uploaded from servers in Pakistan, Malaysia and so on and when that girl hears the news about it, she commits suicide. A Christian classmate of the female lead character is drugged and raped repeatedly but she realises that they are trying to send her to Syria and avoids it. The female lead character, Shalini Unnikrishnan who becomes Fatima Ba after conversion (later) gets pregnant and breaks the news to her boyfriend. Initially, he refuses to acknowledge that that is his child, then she is brainwashed to believe that if she converts to Islam and marries him, all will be fine but he supposedly flies off to the Maldives (but it is shown that he is hiding and watching Shalini and later even seduces another group of girls), so she is told by a Moulvi, that is, a Muslim priest, that she can convert to islam and marry another person called Ishaq. She is further brainwashed that it is a sin to get pregnant before marriage and over that she comes from a family of Kafirs and so, if she goes to Syria to serve the Caliph, Allah will forgive her sins. Ishaq then takes Shalini to Afghanistan and says that they will halt there temporarily in an ISIS hideout and then proceed to Syria. He then rapes her after saying that if a man wants to make love to his wife, the wife should oblige. Shalini then tries to escape but encounters horrible scenes of people being shot and then when she sees a woman's hand being chopped off and her husband undergoing "halaal (lneck being cut a little and allowing the victim to bleed to death)", she faints. When she regains consciousness, the wife of the Commander who chopped the woman's hand off tells Shalini that it is futile trying to escape. When Shallini asks what the fault of the woman was due to which her hand was chopped off, she gets the response that she wore lipstick and her husband allowed it which is why they met that fate. Then Shalini is shown to get help from the wife of that Commander, a couple of times. On one occasion, Shalini is able to access a mobile - which is considered "haraam" and not to be used and hence kept away from her - at a neighbour's house and that neighbour's husband finds out about the mobile and shoots her dead. Then Shalini is given news that her husband was killed in a drone strike near Herat and so, she is taken to a camp where there are other women also and these women, including Shalini, are used as sex slaves and a lady complains about the same to the other women - Shalini is also parted from her infant. Then, Shalini and two other women escape but they are found and the two women are shot dead but Shalini escapes by jumping off a cliff and falls unconcious. Then, she is found by the United Nations peace keeping force and incarcerated as a Terrorist and told that the Indian Government considers her a dreaded terrorist, "Fatima Ba". Later it is shown that the boy who seduced Shalini is seducing another group of students with the help of his friends. Shalini's Christian friend goes to the Police to lodge a complaint about what happened but the Police refuse to take her complaint for lack of evidence. At the end, the real life interviews of the parents of the love jihad victims are shown in their mother tongue, Malayalam. - 1Firang (talk) 19:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

This movie is a propaganda film

As per WP, a propaganda film "is made with the intent that the viewer will adopt the position promoted by the propagator and eventually take action towards making those ideas widely accepted."

This film fits this description very perfectly. The propagators has time and again said that the viewers must adopt the position promoted by the film makers and take action.

ChandlerMinh (talk) 16:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
I must admit I was a tad bit concerned before I realized I had checked the talk page, not the history page (haha). All in all I would support that classification, provided that we can find sources showing that (and preferably at least one RS calling it propaganda). Googleguy007 (talk) 16:54, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

"The Kerala Story" is a powerful and thought-provoking film that sheds light on the critical issue of "love jihad" in India. Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, this film features an all-star cast including Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani. The plot of the film revolves around the story of a group of women from Kerala who are allegedly converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS. This film has been endorsed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it highlights the truth about this sensitive issue.

Despite facing criticism from a few reviewers who have labeled it as propaganda, "The Kerala Story" has successfully connected with audiences across India. The BJP has used this film as a campaigning tool for the Karnataka assembly election and has rightfully claimed that it represents the ground reality. Despite facing push-back from certain groups and legal cases, this film has been a box office success, grossing over ₹81.36 crore (US$10 million) and becoming the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023. "The Kerala Story" is a must-watch film that highlights the truth about "love jihad" and showcases the importance of national unity and security. 206.84.238.84 (talk) 12:51, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Addition of Box-Office records set by an Female-Lead film

The film recently broke the record of the biggest opening week collection for a female centric film in India. It should be added in box office section since it was added in all previous record holders and all successful female lead films has such information about their opening day/weekend/week numbers among the female lead films.

Expand plot: In Afghanistan, Fathima Ba lives in a hideout with her husband Ishaq, a Mujahedeen fighter, and a baby son. Ishaq is shown to martial rape Fathima. Done with the abuse, Fathima volunteers to go to Syria, but defects to UN peacekeeping forces while crossing over Turkey. She recounts her story to the officials.

Fathima was born Shalini Unnikrishnan to a Brahmin family in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram. She joins a nursing college in Kasargod, where her hostel roommates are Geethanjali, Nimah Matthews and Asfiya. Geethanjali is the daughter of an atheist Communist, while Nimah is Catholic and Asfiya is Muslim. They start spending time with Asfiya's cousins Ramiz and Khaliq. Over time, Asfiya introduces her friends to concepts of Jahannam and hijab. She encounters resistance only from Nimah, who is a devout Christian. Asfiya is shown to have nefarious intentions. She orchestrates an eve teasing attack on the three in a public place and, convincing Shalini and Geethanjali their dressing provoked it, makes them wear a headscarf.

Love blossoms between Shalini and Ramiz and Geethanjali and Khaliq, and the pairs have sex. Shalini gets pregnant and is convinced by Ramiz to convert to Islam and take on the name Fathima Ba. However, after conversion, she is informed that he died in a mission after volunteering as a Mujahedeen. A local cleric convinces Fathima that her family will not support her pregnancy before marriage and conversion, and that she should marry someone else. Fathima marries Ishaq, someone recommended by the cleric, unaware that he is wanted for several national security crimes.

Meanwhile, Geethanjali figures out that they are being manipulated and confronts Khaliq, but he blackmails her with her nudes. A distraught Geethanjali, faced with the choice to bear humiliation or marry him, dies by suicide. Ishaq and Fsthima travel to Colombo on pretext of a honeymoon, but in reality, are stopping over for their journey to Afghanistan. While in Colombo, Nimah contacts Fathima and tries to tell her to return, but she feels it is too late.

A pregnant Fathima, exposed to the atrocities happening in Afghanistan in the name of religion, regrets her decision. In the present day, she tells the officials that she defected on purpose and asks them to reunite her with her son. The officials tell her that there is no evidence for her story, and she remains in prison. 2001:8F8:172B:51C3:8C21:DDFF:3737:80AD (talk) 08:39, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Plot expansion

Here's the version of the plot I submitted in an edit request:

In Afghanistan, Fathima Ba lives in a hideout with her husband Ishaq, a Mujahedeen fighter, and a baby son. Ishaq is shown to martial rape Fathima. Done with the abuse, Fathima volunteers to go to Syria, but defects to UN peacekeeping forces while crossing over Turkey. She recounts her story to the officials.

Fathima was born Shalini Unnikrishnan to a Brahmin family in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram. She joins a nursing college in Kasargod, where her hostel roommates are Geethanjali, Nimah Matthews and Asfiya. Geethanjali is the daughter of an atheist Communist, while Nimah is Catholic and Asfiya is Muslim. They start spending time with Asfiya's cousins Ramiz and Khaliq. Over time, Asfiya introduces her friends to concepts of Jahannam and hijab. She encounters resistance only from Nimah, who is a devout Christian. Asfiya is shown to have nefarious intentions. She orchestrates an eve teasing attack on the three in a public place and, convincing Shalini and Geethanjali their dressing provoked it, makes them wear a headscarf.

Love blossoms between Shalini and Ramiz and Geethanjali and Khaliq, and the pairs have sex. Shalini gets pregnant and is convinced by Ramiz to convert to Islam and take on the name Fathima Ba. However, after conversion, she is informed that he died in a mission after volunteering as a Mujahedeen. A local cleric convinces Fathima that her family will not support her pregnancy before marriage and conversion, and that she should marry someone else. Fathima marries Ishaq, someone recommended by the cleric, unaware that he is wanted for several national security crimes.

Meanwhile, Geethanjali figures out that they are being manipulated and confronts Khaliq, but he blackmails her with her nudes. A distraught Geethanjali, faced with the choice to bear humiliation or marry him, dies by suicide. Ishaq and Fsthima travel to Colombo on pretext of a honeymoon, but in reality, are stopping over for their journey to Afghanistan. While in Colombo, Nimah contacts Fathima and tries to tell her to return, but she feels it is too late.

A pregnant Fathima, exposed to the atrocities happening in Afghanistan in the name of religion, regrets her decision. In the present day, she tells the officials that she defected on purpose and asks them to reunite her with her son. The officials tell her that there is no evidence for her story, and she remains in prison.

Ive tried to use neutral wording wherever possible. please see if it can be added to the articles/and address any concerns you mightve with POV here. The current plot is just two sentences and obviously not long term sustainable. 2001:8F8:172B:51C3:8C21:DDFF:3737:80AD (talk) 09:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

It should be noyed that none of the cast are from Kerala nor have lived in Kerala for any time. The lack of Kerala advisors or staff working on yhe movie contributes to critism that the story and settings are unauthentic. 172.58.111.64 (talk) 15:39, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

A sentence reads, ' The film is premised on the conspiracy theory of "love jihad", and erroneously claims that thousands of women from Kerala are being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS'; please change it to 'The film is based on the widely observed cases of "love jihad" in Kerela , and proves that thousands of women from Kerala are being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS Jatinbaranwal (talk) 06:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

In the Reception section, and Box Office subsection, the statement "The film performed well in most of India but performed poorly in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal", is misleading. The film was banned in West Bengal and exhibitors withdrew in Tamil Nadu due to pressure and threat. This is the reason why it didn't perform in these 2 states. The sentence gives the impression that it didn't perform under normal circumstances. skmishra 08:18, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
