I am 50:50 on this issue... The Tibetan issue has been going on for ages and yes thy found the Olympics as the perfect platform, sure it is arousing awareness but for me Olympics - sports should be disocciated with politics - thats is how it has been for the most part and that is how it should be 😃
Oh if Saif and Aamir really did care about the spirit of Olympics then they would have even more reasons to boycott the rally..i am sorry but Olympics isn't about the sports anymore, its about politics, bribery, corruption behind it.. The Olympics is not owned by a cross between the UN and the Justice League of Superheros..its owned by private entity as the means to make $$$$..Supporting Beijing Olympics means supporting the regime..

And just in case you blast me off I do know about the Tibetans state... 😳
Umm you didn't say anything of the sort mentioned in my second post..you didn't call me jealous or randomly started attacking my favorites or personally attacked me with sms lingo.. so like that little retort wasn't actually needed.. you stated your reasons and i am fine with that😳

As for Saif wearing a T-shirt, well if he did that just for fashion - then he is shallow. But if he did it suppoting the cause, then it is praiseworthy, he is generating attention.
Well the reasons he cited for being a part of the rally to me says that he knows nothing about the Tibetan cause. The Tshirt as i suspected was worn by him to reinstate that little image he wants to create of himself as some sort of a desi "rockstar" .. because if he was aware of what is happening in Tibet and he really cared about the human rights abuse, he would not make an ignorant statement like "my government ain't doing nothing so i won't either"

As for his choice to take the torch - it is his decision solely. He is free to choose.
Yes everyone's free to choose.. people are free to endorse beauty brands that test on animals, people are free to support whaling, people are free to wear fur for fashion.. that doesn't mean what they're doing is right or ethical.. and Saif could partake in the rally, thats not the problem..he never appeared as the sharpest tool in the shade anyway.. but to wear a T-shirt that says "Free Tibet" and then carry the torch to me is hypocritical..and yes people could harp on about how China doesn't "own" Olympics.. but the revenue generated from the Olympics will be used to fund the fascist government..

Also several government around the world (mainly India), to please the Chinese government (for trade relations) are using brutal force on Tibetan protesters.. anyone with a conscience should not be a part of it.. many internation big names have spoken against it.. i suppose it only shows that Bollywood celebs are selfish and have no mind of their own.. no wonder anyone who dares to think outside the box are seen as outsiders
