Was Salman Khan bullied in Jodhpur court?

IndiaTV Entertainment Desk | 29 Apr 2015, 14:56:51 IST

Jaipur: Bollywood actor Salman Khan was left perplexed when a court in Jodhpur asked him about his caste. After some thought, he said: "Hindu and Muslim".

Such a response from an actor like Salman Khan triggers the fact that he got emotional over the question.

Salman Khan pleaded "not guilty" on Wednesday in an arms case being heard at the Jodhpur court.

Before recording Salman's statement, Chief Judicial Magistrate Anupama Bijlani asked him his name, father's name, profession and other details to mention in the court's form.

Salman answered everything, but he got confused when the court asked about his caste.

He gave a puzzled look to the court as well to his counsel and bodyguard and after few seconds someone from the crowd suggested he say "Muslim". But he said to the court "Hindu and Muslim" both.

Salman told the court that his father is a Muslim and mother is a Hindu.

It is shameful for the judge to question Salmans belief.. totally stupid. On what basis have they asked him if he is a muslim or a hindu? Salman needs to accept his punishment..by dragging this, he has made a joke out of his life. and Shame on the judge for questioning his belief. Some people out there have no ethical morals . Not something you would expect from a professional. 😕

Why on earth would they ask ANYONE about their caste?? Is that a regular thing during a trial??

I didn't know religion and caste are questioned during trials. That's not ethical 😕

What is the relevance of his caste on the crime he's being tried for? Or why is one's caste part of his legal identity?

Its a formal question.. like u fill a form for some application. Some questions r a *(must feel) and some r not... like here in Nz, abt languages u speak, nationality, ethnicity, yearly househeld income etc..In India, I also wrote down Hindu, Vaishnav brahmin".

The must questions r to identify the person in his full sense of mind... or is this another person. The secondary questions r for review and surveys conducted by Govt. to identify problems within a community and help and rectify.

There r so many formality questions in court cases, 😆 is ur name this...? yeah of course, thats why I m here ashole. 😆

So, seems like salman is not gonna play minority card. 😉 Wise idea. He could have just said 'Indian".

----- If IF ppl can be so dumb, just imagine how Indian media will throw this headlines all over. 😆

Salman's statement wasnt even recorded (official statement) b4 those questions and its out in media. 😆 How quick? PR machine??

The question was just to varify if he knows who he is, where he is and what he filled in that document.

Some questions can be avoided in writting or verbally. Its optional.

BUT, the media got what was not even recorded on the process.. just a simple formality questions.. 😆

That's not a fair statement to make. I think we asked very legitimate questions here. In situation where people's ethnicity is asked in forms those are optional. But when a judge asks you what your ethnicity or origins are do you really have the option of not answering? Name, age, are part of your identity. I'm not sure how your caste is. Or rather I don't think it should be. But if it truly is in the Indian legal system then I don't understand it, and I'll leave it at that.

I have filled so many forms in India and NZ. Those r optional questions.. for the purpose of surveys and totally confidential. Unless the pwerson wanna make it public like in this case here.

Judge will only ask u if u DID put that in the form.. meaning he wanna go thru the formalilty as if u r the same person or not. and if not, then why? Its a serious stuff. U can be caught for a fraud if u answer wrong. Like if I say "Pakistani" in stead of "Indian" here, they will have 4 hours interview with me. If I wrote 'Brahmin" and said in interview that "I m BC"... they will recheck how did i get degree? in reservations or on merit?

Those relatively simple cases, but this one is not. So if Salman thought, caste= religion.. and he said Hindu and muslim.. so be it. Judge had to just confirm it.

Therez no rasism or castism here. Gosh, if he was asked r u a male or female? and he said both. 😆

Google baba will die if everybody puts a tape on their fingers.. and mouths. Nobody will know how many ppl died in Nepal.. or anything.

The irony is, how did this headline came up? 😆 Simple question, good answer, nothing recorded officially, so who lwaked it or for what purpose?

Why I said IF ppl dumb.. coz they sense PR in everything. But.. something so obvious dont strike their minds. And yes.. I m dumbest of the lot. so dont worry.
