Why accept the impossible? Ayurveda says that there is no cure for everything
Directed by Vipin Das, Jaya Jaya Jaya Hai starring Darshan Rajendran in the lead role is going ahead with great response from the audience. The film has presented the lives of women who have to live suffocatingly in a patriarchal society mixed with humor.
Along with this, the film presents many other events happening in the society in a funny way. Ayurveda is one of the subjects that the film approaches with notable criticism.
The film criticizes the way of relying only on Ayurveda for anything.
In one of the scenes in the film, Rajesh, who plays Basil, goes to a shop selling Ayurvedic medicines to seek treatment after being kicked in the stomach.
The shopkeeper, however, tells Rajesh that he may have internal bleeding and will have to get scanned. Therefore, he says, it is better to go to medical college.
Hearing this, the assistant in the Ayurvedic shop accuses him and speaks. The assistant asks that people come to the shop sometimes and what will they do if they are also sent to allopathy.
The shopkeeper asks back to the assistant that we can’t treat any internal bleeding and why are we taking on something that we can’t do.
In this scene of only a few seconds, Jaya Hai tells many eye-opening things related to Ayurveda. It is also interesting to note that this point is made by a person in a shop selling Ayurvedic medicines.
Health experts have pointed out many times that not all diseases can be cured by Ayurvedic treatment, and in some cases where urgent treatment is needed, one should take care to approach allopathy itself.
In recent times there have been efforts to change the law so that Ayurvedic doctors can do all the treatments that MBBS trained doctors can do. This led to great criticism.
The Ayurveda scene in Jaya Hai is sure to gain more discussion space in the coming days.
