If we remember the movie by the song Dum Maro Dum and the film title Hare Rama Hare Krishna it was one of the tasteless and with no thought-provoking sense coming out of the film. The film was made in 1972 and was nothing more than a way to promote hippie culture in India. The star of the film Zeenat Aman showed all kinds of rebellious lifestyle and was appreciated by the people who were from the upper and rich household and few other vagabonds who are from the Brahmins,
The film entirely revolved around the woman resorting to chewing and smoking weeds, not for the medicinal purpose but it was just a thought to enjoy and forget life responsibilities. Although, I was born in the early 80's I was aware of the movie nostalgia as the songs were always a part of Doordarshan and also it showcased on a few of the Sundays.
Now, the fact of the matter is that few of the people in schools and colleges were extensively promoting the ganja culture and the place where I resided earlier was full of some cynics at Sector-3 and although I don't remember the name people belonging to upper castes such as Tripathi, Tiwari, and Mishra used to frequently smoke Ganja and they just did not find it bad.
In this way, the personal traits could be said about missing the better ways to get towards the study and other social ways but just to get into the heavy effect of smoking weeds. It could be said about the generation which does not remember their bad and anti-social deeds but respond too quickly but demoralizing others in front of others was the motto of life.
It could be said about the same thought where nothing is known in terms of study and still giving the lectures and if that does not give enough or better response them flexing the muscles is the best of the way or reporting to abuse.
Generation awakening is the worst thing to be done these days and with people who are into all kinds of short movies and other such documentaries could find themselves into a net from where they are nothing more than an outcast. To tell yourself at a higher pedestal is something which is akin to leaving in fool's paradise and most of the time such people who were into all the anti-social campaigns at one time have become a part of promoting themselves to be into all negative attributes of life.
Neither, the country has got into the mode of adding values to life and nor they could be into creating awareness which could give happiness to their life. Once all said and done the person who reaches a better point in life is given a thought which just does not match as the society around him seems to have fallen.
I, personally think that Sri Vivekananda or Sri Aurobindo Ghosh have helped enough to give the status of an educated society to Indians but what has harmed is the thought of imitating Thailand where only Phuket is the part of the sex trade and illicit drug channels becoming a heaven for the people from the USA and other countries from South America.
So, one could easily say that Zeenat Aman did not put any better contribution towards the Indian cinema and the "Dum Maro Dum" generation did not change their ethos and the Bihar which shares the border with Nepal lost its credibility and soon it was a haven for drugs and other such illegal trade which made the people from this state weak and defunct in thoughts and life values!
