In the Name of Love!

As per a recent report, since 2009 - more than 17 thousand girls from Kerala and more 15 thousand girls from Mangalore from Hindu and Christian communities has been converted to Islam and most of them ended up landing in Syria, Afghanistan and other ISIS and Taliban influential areas. In spite of accepting this facts and numbers of conversion and eloped girls, erstwhile Chief Ministers from CPM and Congress party and relentless claim by RSS - there is hardly any action is visible on ground zero. No specific data available... no confirmed evidences are being attended... Police & administration are muffled... 'Government' is in denial mode (clearly due to possible erosion of respective vote bank). As a result - rampant religious conversion through deep-rooted indoctrination network taken over Kerala like fire in hay... simply rescinding 'god's own country', silently and inevitably. Like light in the end of the tunnel, on Supreme Court's intervention, NIA started investigating 90 odd cases. Whatever politics been brewing behind... whatever international conspiracy being hatched... there is no denial to the fact the thousands and thousands of daughters of India are getting eloped and getting vanished in to the blues of middle-eastern deserts. We have seen the tears of the mothers of the eloped girls...we have heard the cry of their despair...! This important documentary have tried to hear the cry of mother earth... tried to feel the melancholy of a country - who is losing her daughters in thousands, every year.
