explaining false binaries

8/9/2020

,​'दो बातें हो सकती हैं सनम तेरे इंकार की,’ says Saif Ali Khan to Raveena Tandon, before he himself answers the riddle.
‘या दुनिया से तू डरती है,
या क़दर नहीं मेरे प्यार की’
Hell no! और भी बातें हो सकती हैं, the most likely of them being this: The lady is not at all scared of the world; she has the intellectual and emotional wherewithal to fully appreciate your emotions for her; and yet, she chooses not to reciprocate because she simply doesn’t find you worth her while.
Now this, dear friends, was a classic case of false binaries; situations where - you’re made to believe - there exist just two possible stances. We allow such stuff in movies because there are disgruntled lovers to be catered. Otherwise, caveat emptor. Be careful before buying into such arguments.
