To observe the religious circus happening in India is really a ridiculous scenario, whether it is for the type of movies made in India or someone's religious or political comments.  Instead of understanding and realizing the intent of people, people are just fighting over the words being used by others.  How sad?  As far as Mr. Hassan's threat to moving out of India or what will happen if Mr. SRK threatens to move to some other country, I can assure you that India will survive without them.  It is true that they are icons in their own fields and also are instrumental in creating a few jobs, but that does not provide them the privilege where India has to feel the pinch if they leave the country.  So long as they, or for that matter any Indian living in India, show their true allegiance to India, they should be respected equally.  This writer, by no means, is suggesting that they should leave the country, but the writer holds an opinion that everybody on this earth is replaceable including Mr. Hassan and Mr. SRK.  On their own volition, they can move anywhere they want.  However, when Pakistan's Interior Minister and LeT's leader Mr. Saeed supported Mr. SRK, it raised some eyebrows.  It is very interesting to note that all of a sudden the Pakistani leader is worried about the security of SRK - an Indian national.  One wonders why Mr. Malik is concerned only about SRK and not about other known Muslim personalities in India including the other Bollywood Muslim icons.  Does it reflect any political and religious affiliation between SRK and Pakistan or should one conjecture that it leads to some connection of the D-Company residing in Pakistan with the Bollywood arena in which SRK is part of. This is a point which needs to be probed thoroughly.   I THINK THE INDIAN POLITICIANS HAVE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH THAN WORRYING ABOUT PETTY RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS.


It sounds like another ploy being hatched by the Chinese Government to entice the Indian Government to lower its guards.  This tactic reminds the writer a 1962 slogan of 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' which was followed by a forceful aggression from China.  What happened in that battle is a history.  I am sure India does not want to face a similar embarrassment.  If India has learned any lesson from that miserable experience, India ought not to cave in at all.  Needless to say, militarily and economically speaking, India is in a much stronger position than it was in 1962, and China realizes it.  Hence, these so called friendly gestures from China.  In my opinion, unless China gets out of Ladakh area, provides freedom to Tibetans, move out of Arunachal Pradesh, India should not give too much credence to these friendly diplomatic hand shakes.  Keeping a diplomatic door open for exchanging political and diplomatic dialogues, exchanging cultural and business deals as well as normal friendly visits are fine.  But that is where it should end.  India needs to continue working on military R & D and equip the Indian defense forces with the equipments and armaments second to none.  In my opinion, if there is ever going to be a war in that region, India will be fighting a dual war which will involve Pakistan and China together against India.  Hence, an urgent need for updated and 5th generation fighting machines for the Indian forces.  INDIA HAS TO BE VERY VIGILANT AND PROACTIVE OF CHINESE CHESS-LIKE MOVES.
