The World Before Her (2012)

Movies talks about women in India(urban India) & Bharat(rural India).

[6/10 · 21 May 2014]

This movie talks about how there are two Indias,the rural India with conservative values and urban Indian with modern values,the documentary shows how parallel life runs ,depending on what kind of family you are born into.According to me both sides have good things & flaws,like for example,the traditional camps talk about patriotism and empowering women in their own way but also also about how women shouldn't have careers while the beauty pageant camp looks all modern and liberal but is again sexist and uses things like Botox & skin whitening which i think is shameful.But of course there is a third kind of Indian women ,women like me ,who were bought up to believe that you can do anything that a man can do,education & knowledge is power,that you should have your own income so that you can have financial stability,be independent,there are more women like me in India,I am a practicing Hindu,a Gandhian like most Indians,we believe in karma,tolerance & non violence.So this documentary gives you one view of India,it is not a comprehensive guide to India.
