From incest to sacrilege: Testing limits of 'freedom'
Last updated on May 30, 2006 at 10.57 am
HOT on the heels of a government clampdown on a Sinhala movie that dared to show incest in art form came a presidential decree last week banning Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. The Sinhala film Aksharaya was refused permission not only on charges of child abuse but also on the basis that it debases motherhood and family values.
The decision to ban these two movies has produced divided opinions in a country already threatened with division as a result of a 20-year separatist war that shows little sign of abating. That Sri Lankans have time and energy to discuss matters of morality amidst escalating violence and uncertainty of life points to our resolve not to let the nation fall headlong into a bottomless pit.
We are a people endowed with nation-building capacity as shown in our resilience in lifting the economy even when it was taking a nosedive at zero growth rate. Somewhere in our mind, there lurks the idea —probably a dejavu —of putting morality at the very core of nation-building through the process of safeguarding family values. Don’t some theories suggest that State evolved first from family and then tribe?
So while we are discussing matters peace, we are also concerned about morality, religion and politics. A colleague of mine who often provokes me into healthy debates asked my opinion about the ban on the two films. I said freedom of expression did not mean freedom to harm others. I philosophised with clichés: "My freedom ends where your nose begins. Whatever freedom we enjoy is and should be subject to restrictions for the greater peace of society." She did not buy my argument though she agreed that freedom should be exercised with responsibility.
Although she agreed to an extent that the ban on the Sinhala film Aksharaya was justified as it dealt with the despicable subject of incest, she condemned the government move to ban Da Vinci Code. "If the story says Jesus Christ is married to Mary Magdalene and fathered a child, we must take it for its fictional value and forget about it," she argued. My counter argument was that Jesus was not only a historic figure but also a religious personality for the world’s 33 per cent Christians and 21 per cent Muslims and when some one came up with an idea or depicting him as what he was not, it would harm the people who revere and respect him. That is why not only the devout among the Catholics and Christians burned the book and boycotted the movie, but also the Jamaat-e-Islami in Pakistan and Muslims in India protested against the movie.
There are some writers who try to take the easy road to fame by doing a clown in the literary field. If an ordinary person wants to attract media attention, he or she must do something bizarre, like a clown in a circus. Taslima Nasrin would not have made a name if she had not acted like a clown and projected Islam in a bad light in her literary disaster Lajja. Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali would not have become a Dutch icon or world famous if she had not attacked Islam in her movie, Submission, stereotyping the Muslim woman and defiling the verses of Holy Quran.
A civilised writer who tries to venture into holy grounds in a literary adventure must think twice before he or she puts pen on paper because his or her work could hurt millions of others. It is better to suffer within than gaining fame or happiness by hurting others.
So Aksharaya has hurt all those who uphold family values and hold parenthood with utmost reverence. Among them were well known Sri Lankan women academics who usually upheld human rights and the freedom of expression. The Sri Lankan polity, like ancient Egypt where marriages between royal siblings were the norm, was not unfamiliar with incest. We were taught in our primary school history lessons that according to the chronicle Mahavamsa, Sinhabahu married his sister Sinhasivali and bore his 16 pairs of twins. One of them was Pince Vijaya who was banished by his father and who upon his arrival in Sri Lanka founded the country’s first kingdom.
Notwithstanding this incestuous part from a flawed epoch, the women academics and other opponents of the movie point out that when it comes to sexual relationship between parent and child, there is universal condemnation. If concern about morality was the driving force behind the ban on Aksharaya, the ban on Da Vinci Code smacks of part religious factors and part politics. The Bishops say that young Catholics whose faith was not deep enough and who may not be able to distinguish between fact and fiction could be misled by the movie. Catholics and Christians form 7.5 per cent of the Sri Lankan population.
The Mahinda Rajapakse administration which has, to some extent, alienated the Christian and Catholic minority due to its alliance with Sinhala Buddhist ultra nationalists had no hesitation in acceding to the request of the Catholic church to ban the movie, for it offered an opportunity for the President to woo the flock back to the fold.
