The Least of These

• This movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Movie deals with Graham Staines Story who was murdered in Odisha in 1999.
• I am from Odisha and I felt guilty of this crime also.
• Due to crimes like this people are unable to lead comfortable lives because the will feel at least a little bit guilty in their hearts.
• The ordinary people from the state cannot be happy if incidents like this happen.
• They will feel it as a blot on their society and will question their very souls.
• It was 1999 and Janaki Ballav Pattnaik of Congress was CM.
• Following that incident Kargil War happened in India and Super Cylcone happened in Odisha and BJD Govt came into power in Odisha.
• It is different that for 10 years BJP and BJD were together.
• It is said that Bajrang Dal which came from the flock of RSS BJP combine was responsible for the killing.
• The movie highlights every tiny bit of the incident.
• Sharman Joshi is a journalist but you can say he is the face of every common Indian in the movie.
• Common Indian will condone such violence.
• Especially the way Staines was murdered and his two boys as well and they were not allowed to escape.
• Staines was actually part of an organisation which had been working in Mayrbhanj district for more than 100 years with the permission of erstwhile King of Mayurbhanj.
• He had been personally in the region for more than 35 years when he was killed.
• He could speak fluent Odia.
• He used to work with lepers kind of people who were simply rejected by their villagers and families.
• He was doing Holy work, Gods work kind of work nobody would be willing to do and was not into conversions.
• In the movie, after his death, our journalist goes through a lot of files and documents but does not get any proof of "forced conversion".
• If any conversion he came across it was from "diseased to normal".
• The very boss Sharman Joshi was working for had disowned his father and villagers had done his "mock cremation" and he tells in end that he had never converted.
• The father of the boss only goes closer to God and is that wrong he asks Joshi.
• In another scene, our hero lands in village where he is defending a lady who has converted. Her mother is Christian whereas her father is Hindu.
• And villagers begin to target the hero. So to save himself he begins to blame Staines and gang for the same and saves himself especially because he has a wife and new born baby girl to care for.
• And the same spark becomes the fire which kills Staines.
• It was really unfortunate incident. As in India the guests are treated as Gods.
• And Staines was more than a guest. To many people he was like a God.
• It could be the bigger picture where the foreigners were belittled by the Indian society as a whole.
• This incident showed that India could "take back" what it its own.
• Even the diseases like leprosy.
• The Govt is there to look after the people. 
• Indians don't need the foreigners and especially people who are from faith different from Hindu.
• It is very bad because what I believe no one can convert to Hindu. 
• Hinduism is not like other religions.
• Only one who was Hindu earlier and converted to other religion can "come back" to the faith what is known as "Ghar Wapsi" or "return to home".
• If Hindus don't allow outsiders they will very very isolated.
• The incident is shameful and more I think about it and dwell on it fills me with depression. 
• But at the same time we realise that the underlying message is outsiders need to acknowledge the power of Indians or Hindus.
• The Hindus will not get eliminated like American Indians or the Aborigines of Australia.
• They are more like Africans who will bounce back and take back what belongs to them.
• It is a message and needs to be read between the lines.
