I am actually scared of even visiting India now; I worry that I have to leave all my freedoms on that plane when I disembark and keep all my opinions aside and not say even a single word. Not express any opinions on anything e.g. handling the pandemic.
Then when I board the return flight back to where I reside, I will regain all my freedoms.
I mean if they can do this to one of the most renowned Indian actors the world has ever seen, then who are we?
Aryan's behaviour is what shows how he has been raised.
I echo your thoughts 100%.
There was a time when visiting India meant "apna desh, apni mitti, taste of freedom (not that there's any lacking here, but still, apna desh to apna desh hi hota hai) "
While most of that remains true, there is a fear element that has set in.
My siblings in India keep mentioning as to how it is better to keep mum lest you ruffle a few feathers and get picked up for just having a different viewpoint.😔
This was something that we never had to worry about a few years ago.
