Padmavaat got censor certificate thats why it was supposed to release in ALL states. If it doesn't got released in certain states due to violence then of course the onus falls on the Government ruling in those states..BJP is ruling in all those states so in centre. Forget about the movie for a minute. If your states are burning an appeal to maintain law and order is the least what the netizens can ask for. Where was that appeal?

Then centre states law and order is a state issue and we are not gonna intervene in that. So whats Centre without its state? Bizzare !!!

Did Government endorse all those stabbings and killing and burning ??

Here by keeping mum n banning the movie, the state government endorsed the fringe group's behavior. Also showed that its scared of these people. What precedence does it set for other more violent groups for future ??

Oh, here comes the same old crap of intolerance.

The fact is we never were a very tolerant country as regards the governments in power. Since independence, all governments have indulged in banning books, movies, tacitly supporting agitations, and so on. And never forget how the most dangerous thing was started by none other than the golden boy of Indian politics - Rajiv Gandhi, when he banned Satanic verses of Salman Rushdie, even before Iran did it.

With the advent of social media - we are seeing a deluge of opinions all around us. Good, bad, moderate - they are all there, and hence, it feels like something is seriously wrong and it's a new phenomena. When in reality, it is not. Intolerance is as old as our independence.

And that's why these champagne walas are wrong when they talk about intolerance. Yes, this government is not free of fault in this matter. Especially the Haryana government for the way it handled the Karni Sena attack on the bus, but this is NOT new. Things were like this before 2014 and those who claim otherwise, are definitely speaking from a perspective of bias and prejudice against the current government.

Add on - And Bhansali is wrong when he says this doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. LOL! He clearly doesnt watch much news.

At the same time - that is not a reason for us to be proud of. What happened during Padmavat protests was terrible and shouldn't be happening in a democracy. However, it is a fact that we as a people are one of the better ones. JNU was the best example.

Also during Yakub Memon's funeral in Mumbai there were lakhs of Muslims who had turned to pray for his souls. This was the same Mumbai that Yakub had mercilessly butchered. He and his friends had shown no mercy yet when lakhs belonging to his religion turned up for him, no one batted an eyelid.No one questioned them. In fact the Indians he hated so much moved mountains to delay his hanging.

This speaks a lot of this country's tolerance. It's not a perfect country in matters of free speech but to term it as the worst, shows your ignorance.
