Responding to BJP member Varun Gandhi's question in Lok Sabha, Bhatt said the approval process was not arbitrary or discriminatory in nature, nor did it violate Article 14 of the Constitution. Onir had sought the defence establishment's permission to make the film, which was inspired by the story of a gay Major who quit because it was no longer tenable for him to remain a homosexual and be in the Army, as a sequel to his National Award-winning film titled 'I Am', as was reported by TOI last month.

Only one out of the 18 proposals for films, documentaries and TV series received by the Army from filmmakers and producers in the last one year has been rejected, he added.

"The reason for refusal for granting a no-objection certificate (NOC) for a movie based on the life of an Army officer (retd) is the portrayal of a romantic relationship between a soldier serving in Kashmir and a local boy, which casts the Army in poor light and raises security issues," junior defence minister Ajay Bhatt said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
Now after the much awaited independence was the real test for Gandhi - a test that will make him or break him - as he started a fast unto death to try and stop the violence that was threatening to break out into a civil war.NEW DELHI: The script of Onir's next feature film, inspired by the real-life story of a gay Major, was rejected because it showed the Army deployed in Kashmir in "poor light" and raised "security issues", the defence ministry said on Friday. The World Wars of 19 having taken its toll on Europe, and on Britain in particular, the weary British finally decided to leave India in 1947 - not the India they had conquered - but an India that was ready to be divided in East Pakistan and West Pakistan. When Gandhi came to know about this, he pleaded with Jinnah to unite the Muslims, even take over as the first Prime Minister with his choice of Muslim candidates for Parliament, but separatist Jinnah had already made up his mind. Concerned over the inroads made by Gandhi to unite the Hindus, Muslims, and all others under a common umbrella, the British invited Jinnah for talks, and it is here that a seed was laid for a separate country called Pakistan. The British relied on these many facets as an excuse for their continuance as they wanted to ensure that the minorities are not oppressed. Gandhi will soon realize that it is not enough to be just an Indian, for India has many facets - Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, and Christian. Kripalani, Maulana Azad, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to ensure first of all to get the British to quit India, and then run an Indian Government under the Congress party.
His resolve was to work with stalwarts such as Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Sardar Valabhbhai Patel, Professor Gokhale, J.B. This resolve will lead him to shed his westerners clothing, don a simple loincloth, mobilize awareness of local industry, lessen dependence on imported clothing and material, the historic Dandee march for withdrawal of the salt tax, a fast unto death to stop the virtual slaughter of British troops, and be imprisoned several times. But in India, he realized that he had first to live the life of a peasant to understand what it is to be an Indian.
When Mohandas Gandhi first set foot in British India, he had already been to Britain and South Africa, and had created quite a stir for the betterment of the people.
