Rajeev,
To be frank, a film maker should not necessarily be an activist. I firmly believe that any artist's commitment towards the society is his/her commitment towards their work of art This will in turn be reflected in the society as responses and reactions.It is not true that an artist should always shout slogans to catch attention. Anant Patwardhan's short films or K.A.Abbas' movies did create an impact and got banned, not because they were activists...but their work of art is that much effective and sharp.
