Given the present condition in the country, tolerance, unfortunately, has bid us all goodbye! That, while words like ‘nationalism’ and ‘patriotism’ have become an extension of xenophobia, thriving upon hate and religious bigotry. Don’t get me wrong; India has had its fair share of dividing opinions but the current milieu reeks of religious fanaticism and prejudice!
God knows, what happened to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, a national-award winning director because of alleged hearsay is proof, we no longer are allowed the constitutional right to speech and expression! True, Bollywood as a fraternity has come together to show solidarity, but actress Renuka Shahane–known for being vocal and always speaking her mind–has penned down a powerful Facebook post and there isn’t one, who’ll deny!
Do these goons take whats app posts as the gospel truth? I might not have agreed with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s interpretation of Devdas or his representation of Bajirao Peshwa & Kashibai in his Bajirao Mastani but I chose not to see the film. Why should a group of bullies, on hearsay, take the law into their own hands? If they had a grievance they should have addressed it in the right manner.
A) They do not have unlimited awards to return.
B) They are well within their rights to protest some & not other events because it is their life. They are not a Government agency that is answerable to the people of our country.
There, somebody said it out and aloud! I don’t know about you but my respect for her just doubled!
