Shakti & Kshama and the movie Schindler's list
I was watching the movie schindler's list where a philanthropist businessman saves 1100 jews from the holocaust in aushcwitz by employing them in his factory in czechoslovakia.
There was this scene in the movie where he was drinking with Amon Goeth, the commander of plaszow concentration camp (basically an officer of hitler's army), who was not in his senses after drinking too much while Oskar Schindler was pretty calm. Amon Goeth says to Oskar, "How are you so calm after drinking!! That is real power, the power to have brutal control and execute without consequences" Oskar replies, "The true power is when you have the ability and all the justification to kill but you still choose not to. If someone breaks your law, you have the right reason to kill but if you choose to pardon him, that's the real power."
This instantly reminded me of Shri ramdhari singh dinakar's excerpt from his poem Kurukshetra, "क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को जिसके पास गरल हो, उसको क्या जो दंतहीन विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो". In our own Encore ABJ's words, "क्षमा देती उनको ही शोभा जिनकी स्वामिनी बनी शक्ति"
Also, how adroit seedhe maut are while the general concensus considers their work gaucherie and still ponders on something like "sorha hu bandi ke ch$$chon pe."
