Deepa Mehta seems to be an advocate of "Tough Love" to reform/educate Hindu male mindset - thru her ever critical films. It can backfire. See this article about Ban on Criticism

Hi,I was trying to recall the poem which was printed in the first admission brochure of Jaipur School more than 25 years ago in 1979. The first line shows us why constant criticism is bad for anyone . Any teacher (reformer) who is only criticising and never praising will raise children (or society members) who will learn to condemn others (esp. her or him).ANy comments why Deepa Mehta's films - always scathing about Hindu faith -Earth, Fire, Water- draw ire among Hindus -esp in India - just like Osama Bin Laden's videos always scathing about the West/Modernity draw resentment in the West/modern people.Would a mixture of love and constructive criticism by such media people - in their media products such as movies improve the situation. Ofcourse, Osama Bin Laden is a gone case. Deepa Mehta seems wiser.Umesh----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Children Live What They Learn
If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to feel shy.
If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns patience.
If a child lives with encouragement,
he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
he learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
