Some days back I was having snacks with a few of my colleagues. The topics of discussion were varied and at one point in time, we started discussing the movie 300. We all agreed that it was a delight to watch such muscularly toned fighters.
The real trouble started when I mentioned that it is based on real story of Xerxes's invasion of Greece. However, people were not ready to believe it as being real. They were insistent on it being a mythical story just like so many mythical stories we have read in the Indian context.
Which brings the question is that why was this person, who with a good educational background is opposing instead of checking the facts. Unless we are willing to challenges our own learnings how will we separate myth from reality?
