SRK detained in Newark airport/ Former President APJ Kalam frisked by American airlines/ ill-treatment or hypocrisy of American policy.html/ 15.08.2009 – II
HYPOCRISY OF AMERICAN POLICY
We will always lick the white skin even if they shoo us away… a pity, that has really not changed ever since the first East Indian traders landed on our holy soil… We are still running behind those big American dreams and especially the film industry is always going there to shoot and woo the desi Indians (NRIs) in a shameless ways… will woo foreign (white skin) actors with open arms in Bollywood as if they are so important to us… as if, we just cannot succeed without them…
The SRK incident is being highlighted in such a big way as we all know he has a wonderful PR (public relation) with the media. The nation woke up from partying hard on the eve of the Independence Day to jump on TV to give quotes… Where were all these people (Farah Khan, Rajiv Shukla and Ambika Soni), when our former President APJ Kalam was frisked by American airlines’ crew and insulted??? Imagine, Mr. Kalam was the President of India for such a long time and having had visited various countries as the first person of India and one of the highly respected dignitaries in the World Political Scenario… he was ill-treated by the Americans just because he belongs to a Muslim community…
The incident was definitely highlighted but not to the extent as is in the case of SRK… no one really came forward to speak about Mr. Kalam’s humiliation and the down-to-earth man was so humble that he didn’t feel any humiliation at all… That is Mr. Kalam’s greatness for he is way above all such petty things… Yes, it was wrong, definitely very wrong on their part to treat such a noble and respected dignitary in such a fashion of our country… but do we ever learn???? The incident just got a small editorial space in newspapers in one of the corners… what a way!
We will still lick white skin and feel they are better than us… No way! If an Indian had not contributed ‘Zero’, they would still be counting with just nine numbers… If Indian doctors are not in America, they would die of innumerable diseases without intelligent doctors… If cheap Indian workforce is not in their country, will they ever progress so much… Sadly though, we Indians will never learn… SRK will have his next concert in US of A very soon for sure… after all the dollars are more important than self esteem to be an Indian, hai na?
Well, it is really pathetic that such treatments are given to global icons because they are Muslims… What is more surprising is that it is America, who is supporting a Muslim country Pakistan in various wars… even though they have waged war in various countries – Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan… they are still to win one war with their intelligence, even though everything is in their disposal…
Will the film industry really unite because of SRK and country’s insulting experience? Will Bollywood close its door for American companies and actors? Well, they will still lick the American dollars and soil and will take the very next flight to shoot film in New York and other American shores… Bollywood will willingly (licking) help Hollywood Studios to establish in our shores, so they can insult us, time and again… Nothing has changed and nothing will change…
I really feel pity on us… the proud feeling of being an Indian in our own country is far better than being insulted and humiliated in foreign shores… Will we ever learn???

'Licking white skin' is quite an abominable way of putting it, but I get what you mean. Tell me, will you break off your friendship with a close friend, just because one of the members of his family insults you? No. I think not. I think your friendship is more valuable for such an drastic step. Similarly, America has been the friend of Bollywood for years, and vice versa. For this one slight on the part of one of their officials, why cut ourselves off from the larger country? Instead, I would commend the Americans for their strict policy of ensuring security for their nation, whoever might come under their security scanner. You want to take it up, then take it up at the diplomatic level. I understand that our ego has been punctured. But punctures can be repaired. If Bollywood was to break off ties with America it would harm both parties. So why take a step where both lose? Instead, let's learn to keep our egos aside and forgive and commend the Americans on their strong stance. As for Shah Rukh Khan, as you have said, he will visit America again, he will stage his shows in America again... if he is letting bygones be bygones... who are we to worry and waste words on this?
