All Khans are the henchmen of Dawood Ibrahim. All Bollywood directors are forced to cast them and them only'. This is what RSS believes in. We add: "All Indian Muslims are traitors. With gun or with guitar, with beard or with mustache, in mosque or in studio; they are Pakistanis by heart, always attempting to destablise the land that provides them the shelter.
A moment to brood over for those who still see their future safe ... with India ...
The recent June 254 cover story Katuta Ke Beej (Seeds of bitterness) published in RSS mouthpiece Panchjanva has nothing new for us. The story presenting itself in a different form. Communalising a profession where religion has little to do dispels the doubts regarding the secular fabric of India as state. Shah Rukh Khan is no Mast Gul, whom you fight against to rid your nation of the threat. Aamir Khan, Saif Khan - both married to the Hindu women, perhaps have nothing anti-national in them that provoked Sangh Parivar to direct the barrel towards them. Salman Khan, is just a dancer, and dance knows no religion whatsoever. The Big Khan, Mohammad Yousuf is no more a Khan, but Dilip Kumar is still a suspect.
India is fast showing its signs of intolerance towards the minority community ... Thumping their racial superiority over the ones they consider perhaps as their hostages makes us think otherwise about the 'composite culture' ... From the barbaric act of demolishing Babari Masjid to the stupefying thought of claiming Hrithik Roshan as 'our own' and putting Bollywood a Khanwood' - India has come a long way.
Muslims they are byname and this is the sin that makes them suspect. Shah Rukh swears Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, but this Hindustan has something different for him. He may drape himself with tricolour on screen but Dil Se he loves the green crescent and maybe this is what swings the pendulum of suspicion towards him. Aamir is the angry young Sarfarosh out to crush everything that intends to molest his mother India, but the Muslim boy has still to prove his loyalty towards the Hindu Rashtra.
Salman takes the lead and boasts Sab Se Aage Hoonge Hindustani, but this is not enough ..
.. Pitting 'their own' Hrithik against 'our own' Shah Rukh means nothing but to widen up the divide and to make India the domain of Indians and to synonymies Indians s Hindus and Hindus only ...
When your nation doesn't bear you as a film artist, would it tolerate you as a community conscious man who teaches religion, preaches religion and is known by the same religion he represents. (Source: The Greater Kashmir, 28 June, 2000)
