This is the standard routine in many Hollywood pictures, and I personally think of it as The Catcher In The Rye Syndrome (TCTRS) - you are messed up at this moment because you had a bad childhood. Blame everything on your parents, your teachers, the society, and make no attempt to improve yourself, instead think of yourself as someone who won't study, but will just stand in a field of wheat and catch falling children - while you are at the same time busy smoking cigarettes at the age of fifteen (yes, as you can guess, I didn't really like that book - as I say this, many people are shaking their heads at me as I bash to death a `classic' of modern times).

But then, in Andha Yudh, Raj Babbar really DID have a messed up childhood. And that's why he becomes kind of a terrorist on the run from the law.
Raj Babbar is being chased on the streets of Bombay by none other than Nana Patekar (who may have had a great beginning in the movie world, with some good roles, but ended up being just another ham actor - sometimes underplaying, sometimes overplaying. Examples: Ghulaam-E-Mustafa and Agni Sakshi). The magaan Babbar Sher somehow manages to enter a mohalla (da 'hood) of chawls. He enters a first floor flat, owned by the parents of a polio-ridden chick, played by none other than Mriganayani (hyuk hyuk, remember that serial?!) Pallavi Joshi. Alright, alright, maybe she didn't have polio, but she was crippled definitely. Helpless parents, definitely. Anyways, they have left her on her own, and Babbar Sher forces his way into the house with his machine gun, and keeps taking looks out the window and fires shots from time to time to keep the cops on their toes, while inside the house he reminds himself of different incidents in his past that apparently messed him up quite good and did everything but thrust this machine gun in his hand and ask him to assiss... assaassss... assussss... asstass... kill the prime minister or something.

One of these memories was the funniest. You have to remember, that this is an art film kind of deal, so they were under the impression they were trying to make a movie that is based on things that COULD HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE - and, in fact, they wanted to focus on some real-life situations that are a part of society. One such real-life problem of course, was ragging, so we see Raj Babbar being ragged in college by students half his (offscreen) age. But then the director and script-writer of this movie decided they wanted to be BOLD and decided to focus on a subject that is considered taboo (no, not Tabu): child molestation. But this is how they decided to portray it:

(Flashback scene begins when Raj Babbar, while looking through the window, gets that distant look in his eyes...)

Flash back to when Raj Babbar was about 10 years old, and an overachiever at scout camp. Scene shows lots of kids sitting in scout costumes around the campfire, while young Babbar is reciting some Deshgaan (don't remember if it was the national anthem, I wouldn't bet on it). The Scoutmaster, some standard middle-aged guy who usually plays the role of some army bargaydier (as Prem Chopra would have said) in movies, beams with what looks like pride at him, while the other kids just sit and stare for the 5 Rupees they were paid. When the patriotic recital is over, the Scoutmaster turns to everyone clapping, and says shabbash, bete, tumhare jaise log hi is desh ko aage badhaayenge, or some crap like that. Then he says, chalo bacchon, tum sab log apne apne tent mein jaakar so jaao. Arrey (Raj's name), tum mere saath aao.

Inside the tent: the Scoutmaster says something about the country needing a lot of youth like Raj Babbar, starts to unbutton his shirt, while sitting with young Raj on the bed, and says:

``Aaj bahut garmi hain, na? Tum bhi utaro''

Immediate next frame: a jawaan Raj Babbar screams Naaaaaaaayyyyy!!! and the gun goes ackackackackackackackackackack, through the window and inside the house, too, with Nana Patekar wondering what the $#@%^$#^ went wrong with this dude, we were just negotiating with him?!

So, nice try, guys! You wanted to be bold, and tried to be as bold as Indian censor boards would allow, but I don't think it was a serious scene!!! Au Contraire!
