Upcoming film 72 Hoorain explores the psychological aspect of terrorism and how young men are brainwashed to turn suicide bombers, director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan said ahead of the first-look teaser launch of his movie on Sunday. The 51-second-long teaser starts with pictures of infamous terrorists Osama Bin Laden, Yakub Memon, Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed, with a voiceover praising those who choose the path of Jihad. The teaser then introduces actors Pavan Malhotra as Hakim Ali and Ameer Bashir as Bilal Ahmed. The video concludes with the voiceover promising ‘untouched hoorain (beautiful maiden)’ to those who do Jihad. “The slow poisoning of the mind by perpetrators turns ordinary individuals into suicide bombers. Let us remember that even the bombers themselves, with families like ours, have fallen victim to the twisted beliefs and brainwashing of terrorist leaders,” said Chauhan. “Trapped in a deadly illusion of 72 virgins, they embark on a path of destruction, ultimately meeting a gruesome fate. It is a tragic reminder of the power of manipulation and the urgent need to address the root causes of terrorists,” added the National Award-winning filmmaker.

Over the past several years, the world has been moving towards digitization, making it challenging for teachers and parents to control a child’s screen time, as well as harder for students to reap the benefits of handwriting, drawing, and expressing oneself by putting pen to paper. A 2017 study in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that regions of the brain associated with learning were more active when subjects completed a task by hand instead of on a keyboard. Writing by hand also promotes information processing and analytical thinking in a way that typing does not, they found.. The keyboard and the pen must complement each other. While digital mediums of education create various benefits for teachers and students alike, one must also understand the cognitive, emotional and developmental benefits of putting pen to paper.

Oppenheimer, in their study titled, “The Pen is Mightier than the Keyboard: Advantages of longhand over laptop note taking” found that students who took notes by hand were able to understand concepts better than those.
