Raja (Not!) Hindustani?

Terror, sadly, has become a part of our life these days. If one decides to comment on it, one will have to post almost everyday. I watched the whole award-returning episode wondering why these people didn't act when anti-India speeches were being made in Kashmir in the past. Or is that acceptable? :-(

It was also sad to see the normally sensible Aamir Khan jumping onto the bandwagon. Aamir, seriously, do you need this kind of cheap publicity? If not, please be a man and answer the questions asked by Anupam Kher - especially the one about exactly which country do you plan to live in. Take a look at the newspapers if you haven't done so lately. The only safe place from terrorism (for people of all religion - because bombs and suicide bombers don't check people's religions before blowing themselves up!)might be in the deepest part of the Amazonian jungle. Do you and Kiran (incidentally, it was very clever of you to say that it was Kiran who asked if you should move to another country - given the fact that she was born a Hindu!) want to be there? If not, shut your trap and do something constructive about changing the present state of affairs. As Kher says, we need to spread hope - and not fear. We need to bring communities together rather than driving them further apart.

Because that's the only way we can fight terrorism and make this world a safe place. But only if you want to.
