Post truth

                Post truth is the word which is selected as word of the year by Oxford English dictionary in the year 2016.
     
           According to Oxford dictionary post truth means,
                 "Relating to or denoting circumstances in which facts are less influential in shaping public opinion then appals to emotions and personal belif."
   
              In a simple words we can say that post truth is a fact but not a real truth just a created truth.


                The Simple example of post truth is that post truth is a truth which is used by "udhishthir" in Mahabharata as  "Narovakunjrova" 

                   Most of the universal truth are also example of post truth.For example sun raise in east and sets in West.we all know that sun never rice or set. But then even we believe and speak like that.so we can say that this is also example of post truth.

Generally post truth is used by media or politics. Recently we find example of post truth. That one of the poliction recently say that,
"On the death bed humayu told baber to respect cows and braminns." 

 But actually the Humayu was the son of Babur and Babur died before Humayu.still this things are spread by media.

So we can say that media used post truth more.

Movie review : Artical 15.

Today We watched the movie Article 15.  Our Head of the department Dr. Dilip Barad took all of us to watch the movie in Cinema. Our tickets were sponsor by Tanishq. The title of movie it self has significance. Because it is connected with Indian constitution. The article 15 in Indian constitution talks about the equality.   The very first thing I see in the movie is a Power conflict. That can be see in different ways that can be seen in the relationship between government employee and normal civilian as well as it can be also seen in  between upper cast and lower cast.  The other thing is about Hypocrisy.  That leader who is from upper cast come in the family of dalit and eats food with them. But letter on character from movie reveal that he bring food with him. Here We see hypocrisy of leader and We also see that the things which come to us by media is not full truth. Here we see the post truth in media.  One beautiful thing i f...
