The Aftermath

Shambolic.

Disgusting.   

Silly.

Representative of how intolerant India has actually become since the arrival of You-Know-Who.

In the aftermath of the events that followed after the veteran actor's statement against the decadence and precarious situation of the countries "tolerance" , Amir khan has not only proved how correct his statement was , but also showed the gullibility of the Great Indian Middle Class. We condemned Kiran Rao's statement of quitting India before , we still do ! It's a free (?) country, a person has the freedom(?) of issuing his/her statements, and so can the Press ! We are at the liberty of condemning a persons' idiocy ! But NOT to invoke social chaos and an utter disregard of reverence .

Since his last statement,Amir khan has been the subject of disappointing humiliation.The e-commerce giants Snapdeal ,he is the brand ambassador of, has had to distance himself from the comments of the actor because a nation-wide uproar of uninstalling the application spread like wild fire!

Social boycotts and public outrage ( burning his posters and ofcourse creating a chaos) is nothing new. He has been pronounced an "anti-national",some asking him to immediately pack his bags and leave for (yes once again) Pakistan!

Hindu Sena activists turned up at his house hurling abuses and demanding an apology ! When in time,Shiv sena stepped in and he was asked to release his films outside India! In his hotel at Ludhiana where he has put up , a swarm of "protesters" swarmed up only to place a 1-lakh bounty on a slap to this renowned actor !

UP BJP Chief Laxmikant Bajpayee has declared that if India was an intolerant country ,Khan would have not been able to marry a Hindu woman ! Most are  bent on asserting that whatever he earned was because of the "charitable" nature of this nation!

Yes,his statements hurt sentiments.Yes,we were grieved to see someone so loved having other thoughts about staying with us !  But does the actor deserve all this after years of social activism and his extraordinary work for our cinema? Is this what he has earned over the years? THINK!

Condemn his statement with proper reverence ,because this person deserves all the respect ! His statements might not be overwhelming , but it clearly portrays how unambigous our citizens are! We implore you,be cogent enough ,don't help him establish his point further! Don't get carried away and tarnish his image so much so that he actually leaves us! 

                          Amir Khan , we are sorry !
