Review of #ASuitableBoy by @MiraPagliNair in 10 clips
Clip 1:
Construction of a Shiva temple is equated with erection of penis of the king building it
Original book has no such scene or dialogue. The addition is deliberate and insulting

Clip 3:
The only good Hindu in series is one who has a Nawab friend and loves Urdu shayari. Needless to say that the Nawab is the best
While a Raja is building a temple near mosque to “provoke”, peaceful Muslims recite poetry on streets as protest

Clip 4:
In the novel, a cleric gives inflammatory speech against kafirs, making the mob want to demolish the temple
Web series has cut out that episode & shown what’s not in the book - Hindu minister justifying bloodshed saying ‘We are a Hindu nation’

Clip 5:
Hindu woman Lata and her Muslim boyfriend Kabir kiss in a temple amid sounds of aarti
The original novel on which TV series is based had no such scene. Looks like makers added it only to insult Hindus and show temples as hideouts for lovers

Clip 6:
A Tazia procession and Rama procession come face to face on a street. A man from Hindu side pushes a Tazia to the ground, triggering riots
Propaganda to show Hindus as riot-instigators because in novel, man enacting Rama falls on ground first

Clip 7:
Hindu crowd catches two men, asks them to recite Gayatri Mantra and open their pants or they will be killed
Propaganda to show that it is Hindus who trigger riots and Hindus who kill people for not following their faith

Clip 8:
The good Nawab asks his secular Hindu friend to contest from a Hindu area on his behalf as communal Hindus won’t vote for him.
“This was the heartland of the struggle for Pakistan,” says Nawab, suggesting it was Hindus who created Pakistan

Clip 9:
A drunkard Maan stabs Firoz. But Firoz and Saheeda Bai save Maan in court by giving false testimony
Nawab is the best. His son Firoz is a saviour. Even tawayaf Sayeeda Bai is great human being. Hindus are riot-instigators, mean & communal

Clip 10:
Lata marries Haresh, leaving Kabir heartbroken and distraught. Kabir does not believe in religion, but Lata’s bigoted mother does not let real lovers unite
If you question why they always show men as M & woman always H, you are even more bigoted

Don’t miss this review by @swati_gs and @SanjeevSanskrit on how the TV series distorts the original novel (which was already tilted on one side) at several places to mainly show Hindus as bigots https://swarajyamag.com/culture/mira-nairs-a-suitable-boy-removes-all-nuance-from-conflict-themes-in-vikram-seths-original-work
