If Bollywood can, why can’t India?

Hi,

I thought I share a nice/interesting article.

Good one, persistence. You should copy paste the article in your post.

Bollywood is the Melting pot of all Indians(even foreign nationals) and religions. The credit for all great creations of Bollywood goes to all the people belonging to all religions or regions. It's because true art always likes to stay away from politics.

Bollywood has only one religion.... thts money 😃

however its really difficult to change the mindset of all the people.... because for many people money is not the religion.....

however even outside, muslims do work with hindu owned companies and vice versa, without any problems.... problems arise when one can not trust the other....

Muslims will say ke "Is country ne muslims ko kabhi apna nahi mana"

Hindus will say "Is ka koi bharosa nahi, gaddar bhi ho sakta hain..."

this mindset has to be changed 😊

You have a very good point, but people who adore the actors are from all religions, and don't care if the actor is their religion or not. Then again, bigger question is if people fall in love with the actors or the characters they play. 😆

Rafi saab used to say that 'kalakar ka koi dharm aur jaat nahi hoti hai,kala hi uska sab kuch hai'.Actually rafi saab and Kalam sir are the only muslims i can show my respect.Problem with today Khan's is that they all in their carrier playing characters like Raj,prem etc making place in peoples hearts.After they establish them self, you suddenly see a big change.Aadab in place of namaste,Insha allah in every sentence,allah hafiz or khuda hafiz to finish with.I personally don't have any problem with these words.Now SRK thinks that he is big and he can play with the sentiments of the innocent people.The new generation hindus does not care about religion thing but new muslim generation is becoming more fanatic and sticky with the religion thing.Even in srgmp section of IF,you can see the difference.Majority of muslim members were supporting only muslim candidate while hindu members were more secular.This has to change.So,i think that India is doing it and bollywood is not!Before we had so many muslim top class actress in the film industry.Now you hardly see any of them.The point is, that with the time muslims in india are becoming more conservative and this not a good sign.

lol nah you got me wrong. it's just a LOT of the things they do and say are completely absurd!! and if indians can make a big deal about an on screen kiss then they will not hesitate to kick someone out of their country or put them behind bars if they say anything-especially on the topic of religion. a certain aamir khan issue camr to mind, complete hypocrite! and things spread fast in india, say 1 thing to 1 person and then the whole country knows!!

so yhh, actors especially need 2 b careful because one slip of tongue and the whole media expands on it, puts it in the wrong context and next thing u know, the whole of india is hating you..

So, I am confused. Are you saying that Aamir should be kicked out of the country b/c the media doesn't like him? And I would like to hear about what certain situation you are talking about. I am actually quite proud of him, he is few of the actors who have spoken their mind w/o wondering about the consequences or who will hate him?

As for kicking out people, what criteria should be used to kick out people? And who gets kicked out? Aamir? A man who is born Indian and has lived his own life? As for people kissing, I don't see them kicked out of the country, if only the moral police would back up...everyone kisses, it's not some hertic custom or something?

Well to the main topic, I so truely agree with it. If only the whole of India could mix that well! But I do believe that we have lots of potential, b/c at the end of the day those actors are Indians. There are people who can look beyond color, creed and religion. Bollywood truely do give hope.
