The hospitality recieved by an Indian or any other nationality who bears a MUSLIM name or atleast similar to it in the US is wonderful. These people in the Airport give them SPECIAL ROOMS unlike the other passengers to sit and Have a FRIENDLY chat for hours. They are least bothered what faith he bears n judge he is a potential Terrorist from his name. The latest incident with king khan is one worth saying. Even after he is famous throughout the world among who sees indian movies, it is quiet unnatural. what had happen to him in the Newark Int'l Airport few days back. They detained him just because he had his name SHAHRUKH KHAN and they say to themselves.. " hey.. don't u think he looks like a Terrorist..? , " yeah mate.. Lets take him.. its show time.. let's show him what real America is.. the land of freedom". These fools don't understand that even their President has a muslim name. BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA. so he is one among them..?
I can undersatand their Issue of national security. But when it comes too personal, what they forget is, they are losing the credibility.
This is not the first or second or third time this is happening to an Indian (with a muslim or similar name) in US. it's going on.. neverending.. so what I think is a person like Khan should not visit that country again. not only him. people like him.. whom Indians treat as a celebrity and treat people from those countries of same importance in the same way. Then only they will learn
SRK in association with Fox Studios is making a film 'My name is KHAN' later this year. This could be a publicity stunt. Why not? SRK insists that he don't want to make a news out of it and he is giving little more longer interviews than usual. Anyway he is addressing an over stretched scrutinizing systems which usually victimize only certain sect of people. Be it a publicity stunt, it is at least addressing anissue our prime minister has been quite about.
ReplyDeletewell.. this issue is not specific to khan.. this has happened to many indians.. infact to our former president, APJ Abdul Kalam too a victim of it. SRK's might be a publicity play but not all..
