HERO FRISKED!!!

Folks our dear SRK had some recent troubles.Salman Khan commented on the issue saying that its good that the country has a tight set-up, and the outcome is there has been no attack after 9/11.Salman has a point.

SRK might be an icon to Indians and many in the subcontinent, even to the desi diaspora spread across the globe, but to America he’s just a visitor. We may be convinced he cannot be involved in anything that’s remotely violent, but the guard given the responsibility of stopping something like 9/11 from happening in his country again will want to take no chances. And what is the possibility that he’s a die hard fan of the Khan and Bollywood? Very slim...indeed.

SRK says he’s ``upset and angry’’(these were his exact words) because it was his Muslim name that caused him all this 'troubles'. Thousands of Muslims are made to go through extra security checks everyday in America and many other Western countries. Is he equally upset at that? He's probably just pissed that it happened to him, India's mega star.

We all know how a lot of Muslims have been subjected to prejudice around the world because many countries see terrorism as an Islamic phenomenon. Yes, it is uncalled for, unjust and maybe wrong. But America is a country that takes the killings of its people with the seriousness it deserves, unlike India whose record on this is shameful.

America doesn’t have a culture of fawning the way India has. Mike Tyson was treated like a common rapist and spent most part of his youth in the slammer.

We are actually aggrieved because we are ``not like them’’. Well, guess what. It isn’t a virtue. We should be like them and take the security of our country and its people with solemn, no-nonsense professionalism.

But we come out with ruthless statements:- Frisk Brad Pitt when he lands in India next. Give Tom Cruise the same dose. Don’t spare Bill Clinton either. Isn’t he an ex-prez just like Kalam?

We are just whimpering over here like hurt puppies. Even our political leaders.Later even SRK realized that he was reacting way too much and made considerable changes in his following statements. Well ..SRK time to join politics.

There’s a lesson in this. A positive one. A day after our own 26/11, there was hardly any security at CST in Mumbai. It can’t get worse than that. The bottom line: Stop fawning and make no compromise where the country’s safety is concerned. Can we do that?
