The movie, which was released in theatre halls on May 5, claims that women from Kerala were forced to convert to Islam and recruited by the terror group Islamic State (IS).
Keshav Das, principal of Sri Vijay Mahantesh Ayurvedic College, issued a circular asking all students of BAMS and Post graduate Ayurvedic medicine courses to watch the movie on May 24 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. He said that classes would be held only from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on that day and the rest of the day would be off. The principal said that the movie would be screened free of cost in Srinivas Talkies cinema theatre in Ilkal. He ended the circular stating, “All of you must see the movie.”
Dr. Das said the students were being shown the movie as it carried a great message for society. “Why just our students, everyone should watch the movie and learn from it,’‘ he said.
He said the college was not mandating anyone to watch the movie or that he would not take any action against any student who did not watch it. “We are only asking all students to see as it can help mould their personality,” he told journalists in Ilkal.
The private college is run by a committee led by a board of directors. Sri Guru Mahant Swami, seer of the Ilkal Math, is the honourary president of the Sri Vijay Mahantesh Vidya Vardhaka Sangha that runs the college. The sangha runs 13 educational institutions in and around Ilkal.
