Aamir Khan Being Bullied - Page 2

Thanks for sharing this article Vishesh.
Abstract from article-

Because while I do think he's being sincere and not speaking out for the sake of publicity, the acid test is now. Will he actually be able to "do something"? Or will he, like mere mortals, feel he has done enough by simply standing up and being counted?

That's all I am concern about. Like mere mortals, feel he has done enough by simply standing up and being counted!! I agree the cause is noble but this is what I was talking about.

Like I said before, enough blame game has been done on this issue....it is about time somone actually "do" something for this poor rather than "just supporting" and taking one side.

Exactly... i totally agree with sowmyaa di here.. if any person (a star) stands up for any good cause, then he Should at least try to make a concrete difference... We (any of us) personally don't know Aamir's intentions whether he's just creating a hype in the media (his film Fanaa is releasing soon!😕) or is seriously concerned abt the poor.... Only God and aamir knows ... and only time will tell..

Moreover if he is serious and seriously concerned, then let me tell u that he charges 5+ crores for every movie!! Is it right to only blame the govt. and just make statements?(im not defending the govt. as i don't know the case properly).. i mean that if aamir sees the govt. to b lethargic or ineffective in this case then do something by himself!!! Is it very very difficult for him to contribute to the suffering community by rehablitating them??? I'm not saying that he should do this b4 making statements, the point is that if aamir is really worried abt those people, then he MAY join an organization or group of people to rehablitate them, or take steps himself to do so..

See I understand that Aamir Khan is a big actor and whoever convinced him to raise voice for this purpose wants to make difference with help of his name and fame. And when he stand up and try to raise voice all India is aware of this situation. There is no need for this. People will again start unnecessary debate (it's like quote put on by sam about debate and decision) rather than really building dam or helping those poor find new homes. Famous celebrities taking either side is not needed in this case now. It is anyway too complicated. All I don't like is that now because of Aamir is standing up for these poor uneducated and people who are not aware of this issue don't take Aamir's side just 'coz he is Aamir Khan and they are fans. This is wrong and no matter how much we try this could happen.

So I think Aamir is doing wrong here. If he really cared about these people he should 've asked some common person and made him his representative and acted from behind the scene and trying to make difference rather than giving his name in. We need dam in that state so badly. Things are so better now after water started coming to state. Kutch where he claim to spend so much time is the worst and they still don't have water to the date 'coz dam building has hurdle like these issues about relocating people. Relocation as I said before always hurt but it is not life threatening.

I don't think Aamir is wrong. He did the right thing by coming in picture. Because this issue needs to be publicized to reach our sleeping govt. and that's a big role he has already played. He is not a designated social worker, his job is different. And if he wishes to engage himself further that would be most welcome. Joining some group or his commitment would be his personal choice. Why should it be only some organization's concern? The govt. should take the responsibility.

I heard Aamir saying that he would wait and watch for the next three months about the progress, after that he would decide his next step. By taking his side does not mean anyone is opposing the building of the dam. As his purpose is not opposing the building of dam, but first govt. should take care of the poor and the homeless, 'Land for Land'.

And by the way, rich celebreties do do some social contribution(donation). When it's govt. duty why should someone pay from his pocket? Even Bono did not pay from his pocket.

I am bringing this topic back to first page as I see some members are interested in posting their openion.

I dont think there is any reason for Gujaratis to ban Fanaa or rather Amir Khan.

Amir Khan has never said that the SS Dam construction be stopped, he just said that those displaced by the dam should be rehabilitataed first and then the dam be constructed. And i dont think that is wrong. it is just that the Gujaratis are obsessed by their development and arent concerned about others. And dats because majority of those displaced are from maharashtra and not gujarat. The CM of Maharashtra was the only one to oppose it.

I wonder why the Gujaratis are not concerned about those displaced.

as i said before. Gujarat is concerned about those displaced. But as you know our indian government system. They ofcourse, ran out of money. and they did not ask people of saurashtra and north gujarat to relocate 'coz they didnt have water and they were millions. they asked those thousands (comparedto millions) to relocate instead. its still not fair for them. and its useless to argue with anyone now these issues as they are things of the past. there are just tons of true adn false information floating around by now. but if you ask me life of people woule be better off after 50 yrs 'coz fo Dam. and as i said before relocation always hurt but its not life threatening. There are lot of hurdle in the way on name of these orgnaization, youths who raise their "awaz" and plp like "aamir khan" who would keep peeping and raisign their voice in this issue and pouring oil in fire and keepign it alive rather than really helping these needy.

The Gujarat Govt. had money to construct the dam , but it did not have money to rehabilitate those displaced 😕

Amir Khan did the right thing as someone had to raise their voice in support of those being displaced.

U said rehabilitation hurts but is not life threatening. Think about those who have small shops there, once displaced to a new place, he will hav to start from the scratch(just an example). I say relocation hurts and is worse than life threatening, its like losing everything in a flood or an earthquake. Think about those who are dependent on local jobs like temple keepers, sweepers and all such jobs. Its the lowest rung of the ladder thats affected the most.

Why doesn't Aamir Khan make it clear that he is for SS project but is protesting only for rehabilitation.

Amir Khan has already said it not once but four times. And why the heck should he apologise for doing something which is right.

👏 Abhijit, very well drafted and articulated thoughts.
