The Waking of a Nation: Jallianwala Bagh Massacre Truth vs GTA 6 Vice City Launch & Conspiracy 50:43

10 days ago50:43

50:43

Ram Madhvani directs Sony LIV’s historical series The Waking of a Nation , streaming from March 7, which examines the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre through the lens of colonialism and systemic oppression. Known for projects like Neerja and Dhamaka , Madhvani brings his focus on institutional power dynamics and human resilience to this six-episode narrative. Co-writing with Shantanu Srivastava and Shatrujeet Nath, he contextualizes lawyer Kantilal Sahni’s (Taaruk Raina) fight against British racism and conspiracy, aligning with historical works like Kishwar Desai’s Jallianwala Bagh, 1919: The Real Story , survivor Nanak Singh’s Khooni Vaisakhi , and Kim A. Wagner’s analysis of imperial fear. The series, featuring Dev Raaz, Nikita Dutta, and an ensemble cast, underscores Madhvani’s recurring themes of truth-seeking and resistance. Separately, GTA6 ’s Vice City reboot, with protagonists Lucia and Jason, highlights Rockstar’s tech advancements (ray tracing, RAGE engine) and a potential $70+ price point, absent from Game Pass at launch. Both narratives—historical and fictional—reflect critiques of systemic control. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
