Q: Hollywood loves Obama, but does Obama love it back? Hollywood loves Barack Obama and it has expressed this in every way it knows how, from celebrity endorsements and campaign appearances to huge donations . In the 2012 presidential race, show biz folks gave Obama more than six million dollars, five times as much as Romney got . It has even been announced that a biopic of Obama's first date with Michelle--dinner and a Spike Lee movie--is on the way . Without spoiling the plot I can reveal that it has a happy ending . So Hollywood loves Obama and , not surprisingly, Obama loves it right back . In fact ,  he is an admirer of its role in the world . "Believe it or not, entertainment is part of our American diplomacy," Obama told an A-list gathering of movie stars and film executives at DreamWorks, in November 2013 . "It is part of what makes us exceptional, part of what makes us such a world power . Hundreds of millions of people may never set foot in the United States, but thanks to you, they've experienced a small part of what makes our country special . They've learned something about our values . We have shaped a world culture through you...in a way that has made the world better." This is what is known as a matter of opinion . A dissenting view is held by hundreds of millions of Muslims who consider the incursions of the American cinema to be a dangerous and despicable form of Zionist-Crusader cultural imperialism . Obama's speech to Hollywood will not disabuse them of this belief . ".[Foreigners] might not know the Gettysburg Address," Obama said , "but if they're watching some old movie, maybe "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," or "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," or "Will and Grace" and "Modern Family," they've had a front-row seat to our march towards progress, even if their own nations haven't made that progress yet . And young people in countries all around the world suddenly make a connection and have an affinity to people who look don't like them and maybe originally they might have been fearful of, and now suddenly they say, oh, this person is like me -- which is one of the powers of art , but that's what you transmit." It would be comforting to think that the president was simply flattering his audience . If he actually believes this , his lack of sophistication about the Middle East makes George W  Bush look like Lawrence of Arabia . "Mary Tyler Moore"? Women aren't even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia . They are forced to wear "modest" clothing down to their ankles in Iran . In most of the region, a woman who disobeys her husband or talks back to him faces a beating at best, usually with the hearty approval of the wife's family father and brothers . "Will and Grace"? Homosexuality is a capital crime throughout most of the Arab world because it is seen as an offense against Allah and the family . The only gay bars in the Arab world and Iran are on the windows of prison cells . "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"? A Muslim girl crazy enough to bring home an infidel fiance is inviting a sequel: "Guess Who's Having a Funeral"? Parents, clergy and community elders in the Middle East are not entertained, let alone edified, by Hollywood values . They are horrified by what they see as a godless foreign assault on their children, their religion and their way of life . In most places even G-rated films are considered transgressive . They can be found mostly via under-the-counter bootleggers or downloaded in secret . And they are . Their impact on young people is not the liberation Obama imagines , however . Unmarried men do not have unfettered access to members of the opposite sex and many find explicit depictions to be frustrating and humiliating . In some, they even inspire a militant puritanical Islam that makes posthumous sex the ultimate reward for killing infidels . Unmarried young women, lacking even that outlet, need to be careful and obedient to the code of conduct . A girl caught trying to emulate the tamest teenage movie role model puts her life in danger . My point is not that Hollywood is wrong to make movies and television shows that reflect American social values and suit the American audience . And I certainly don't expect the president to inform his biggest boosters that their creations ignite resentment, hostility and holy war . I do hope, though, that the president and his advisers understand this:"Will and Grace," "Mary Tyler Moore" and even the new Obama biopic may win Oscars and Emmys, but in a struggle for hearts and minds in a region where cutting- edge refers to swords, not cinema, Hollywood is not a strategic American asset .

Q: I survived the Bhopal gas tragedy. I was born in July 1984 and I was only five months old when the disaster struck my community . I was too young to remember anything from the night of December 2, 1984 , but , throughout the years, I have heard many stories from the people who were there and saw it happen . My sister would sometimes tell me things about that night , though we generally avoided bringing it up , as we knew that it would only hurt us to talk about it . After the disaster, some of our relatives, who had heard about it on the radio, came and took us to Lucknow, around 600km from Bhopal . We stayed with them for a few months , but they started treating us badly , as if we were a burden to them and their families , so it was our brother Sunil, another survivor from our family of 10 - aged 13 at the time of the disaster - who decided to bring us back to Bhopal . Subsequently, we were sent to an orphanage in Bhopal, called The SOS Children's Village . Sunil refused to live with us in the orphanage, and got involved with the anti-Carbide campaign . He created an organisation called Children Against Carbide . Most of the members of this organisation were children from the community we were from - Jay Prakash Nagar (JP Nagar), right across the road from the main Bhopal plant . I was happy with my life at the orphanage in Bhopal , I had almost everything: cricket bats, skates, football, good education etc . But ,  at the same time, I did not know anything about our parents . In middle school, we would have parent-teacher meetings at school ; my classmates had their parents next to them for the meeting , but I had no one next to me . It was around that time that I started asking my sister about our parents . It was then that my sister first told me about the Bhopal gas disaster and what had happened that night . Until then, I never fully understood that I was growing up in an orphanage and didn't really know the meaning of the word "orphanage" . My sister Mamta told me that there were four brothers and four sisters in our family . Our father was a carpenter , and I was the youngest in the family . We lost three sisters and two brothers along with our parents that night . I then asked her,"How did we survive?" She told me that she wrapped me in a blanket, and ran away along with our brother Sunil . When they were running, Sunil had to go to the bathroom, and fainted . The streets were so crowded as people were running and shouting , my sister was forced by the crowd, and couldn't wait any longer for my brother Sunil to come back . He succeeded in 2006 when he hung himself . So, now it is just Mamta and I - the only survivors from a family of 10 . Mamta lives in Lucknow with her husband and two children , and I live here in Bhopal on my own . She would often complain about severe headaches and eye problems . It has been almost 30 years now , and Bhopalis are still fighting for their basic rights . The disaster took so many lives, and is still killing people, as the abandoned factory continues poisoning our soil, water, and air . I started learning more about the disaster when I saw people of different ages chanting slogans in the streets of Bhopal when I was a child . In 2004, Greenpeace flew me to Paris to participate in a demonstration outside Dow's shareholders meeting . I got involved with the campaign in 2004 partly because of my brother's participation in the campaign . It was better to die fighting for our rights than succumb to depression over what had happened . I had a stroke in 2005, and started taking an aspirin everyday . I also had a pulmonary embolism in the US last year . Now I no longer take an aspirin , because now I have to take 7.5mg of warfarin, a blood thinner , which is also used as rat poison . In 2008, I was one of a number of Bhopal survivors in New Delhi who fasted for 21 days, only having water . We were asking then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to set up an empowered commission to look into the issues related to Bhopal . We also wanted clean water to be supplied to the people who were living in the affected communities and were forced to drink contaminated water . Everyone on this earth should feel this anger and frustration . It has been 30 years and justice continues to elude the people of Bhopal . We, the people of Bhopal, believe that the whole world has transformed into a Bhopal in a way : If you look around , you see multinational corporations being allowed to do business without accountability, poisoning the world and placing profits over people . If justice comes to Bhopal , then it would be justice for the whole world . It would set a precedent and ensure that in the future, corporations committing such crimes are brought to justice .

Q: We are breaking promises to our children. The unity of millions that can stem from one evil act . The strength, courage and determination that often comes from adversity . The daylight following the darkness . After the bloodshed and incessant school attacks of 2014, let 2015 be a year of hope, of action and the fulfilment of a promise made 15 years ago to boys and girls across the world . They are waiting and watching . The famous novelist JK Rowling, leader of a charity helping 25 million orphans, recently asked;"Who is easier to silence than a child?" Because children have no votes and traditionally little voice , the expectation is that they will not protest . But be certain about this - young people whose rights have been violated will be silent no more . I know this is true because in the space of a few hours last month I watched in awe as tens, then hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands showed their outrage and their unity following an attack on a school in Pakistan in which 132 children were massacred . A petition launched in the aftermath of the attack, to honour those killed and demanding education for all, is now 1.5 million names strong and is still growing as each precious minute passes . One voice . In the future, people will look back on this generation and they will say an historic civil rights struggle for the rights of young people was born . This, I believe, must be a time of hope . People need hope . Hope is that small voice that says we will not be silenced if we have strong beliefs we want to follow . We must never stop believing that the cause we are talking about can be won in our generation . And remember , we do not break promises to children . We crossed our hearts . The United Nations told the world that every boy and every girl, everywhere, would have access to a school and to an education and to opportunity . Its official name is Millennium Development Goal 2 and the official target is universal primary education . Unofficially, it's the only chance of a life for millions and millions of children . Now , as the clock ticks down towards zero hour we are trying but toiling to make it happen . But we can change it . There is time . There are seven other MDGs , all vital but none as critical to our children's . With just 11 months and 20 days to go , there are still 58 million boys and girls who will be failed by a broken promise and never even have a day's learning . There are hundreds of millions more who will not finish their education . Less than a month ago two champions of global education and girls' rights shared a platform in Oslo, Norway . Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi stood in front of the world, proud and deserving joint winners of the Nobel Peace Prize . Their brave words and actions rightly rewarded , then so many of their hopes for the future crushed when six days later came the worst school atrocity of all time . 132 boys and girls slaughtered by Taliban gunmen in Peshawar . On the same day 15 children were bombed to death by terrorists attacking a school bus in Yemen . The next day dozens of school pupils were killed and 100 abducted in a repeat of the Boko Haram attack almost nine months ago when 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria were abducted, yet to return home . Last year was like no other in which vulnerable youngsters - whose right to be shielded from war is supposedly guaranteed in successive United Nations charters and resolutions- were systematically violated, exploited, injured, raped and killed . The bombing of schools in Syria was followed by the militarisation of schools in Gaza and then by verified reports of child atrocities and rape in Iraq . According to The Yazidi Fraternal Organization (YFO), thousands of young Yazidi women and children are being used by ISIL as sex slaves . And there are now an estimated 250,000 child soldiers conscripted into militias round the world; 100,000 of them girls . From Syria and Iraq to South Sudan and the Central African Republic we have seen more children uprooted and displaced than at any time since the Second World War . The number of child refugees has risen by nearly two million in just one year to a staggering 25 million - the population of a medium-sized country . And now the seemingly endless violation of children's rights is being eclipsed again and again by the growing use of schools as theatres of war . Twenty five years ago, the world signed up to the Convention for the Rights of the Child . 2014 will be remembered as the year of the violation of the rights of the child . We have 11 months left to ensure 2015 is about the delivery of the rights of the child . Youth organisations such as Global March Against Child Labour, Girls Not Brides and A World at School, which now sponsors nearly 1,000 youth ambassadors, are becoming global leaders of a youth liberation struggle . They are fighting child marriage, child labour, child trafficking and discrimination against girlsand the principal way to end exploitation is to deliver free compulsory education . One of the #UpForSchool petition signatories was Malala Yousafzai, herself the victim of a Taliban gunman . She will tell us there is still hope . People are angry about what is happening to children . Even angrier still are young people themselves . Do not underestimate them . They are connected , they talk to each other and they understand each other . They are as one and they are seething . Recently, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, I stood with 1,000 young people as they bowed their heads for victims of the Pakistan school attack . They all signed the petition . The same happened a few days earlier when thousands of young people demonstrated in Kenya and at the Nobel ceremony in Oslo more than 6,000 children gathered to show unity for girls' rights and for education . For too long young people have relied on adults who have done too little to stop the violation of the rights of the children for whom they were responsible . In 2015 it will be a civil rights struggle of young people LED by young people that will be the world's best hope .
