Some months back, to be exact in 2013, there was a small hulla bulla that the famous Bollywood star was detained at New York airport for more than an hour.Most TV channels and news papers reported this incident and tried to make an issue of a non issue.Frankly the people I have met in India are least bothered whether Mr Khan was detained or not.
Actully it's no big deal and the incident should have been allowed to die a natural death.We must remember that Khan was detained not because he was an Indian or a confirmed terrorist.It was because of the security enviornment around the world where everything is looked at through the prism of terror strikes. It is also a fact that Khan represents a community, for who terror is a way of life.Yes, we can chide the Americans for being paranoid about their security, but what about India? where do we stand?
Matters are not helped by Khan announcing ata press conference that he as a Muslim felt " insecure" in India. One wonders how a person adulated by the Hindu masses despite beinga Muslim, can have the temerity to make such statements. Probably Khan forgot the incident a few years back, when he was detained at the Air port in USA for beinga Muslim. here in India with so much freedon, Khan still gurgles out such sermns on " intolerence" One would like to ask Khan, where would he like to go to get away from " intolerence" in India " Let him spell it out. Mostly any country he chooses will not accept him and in case he cooses a Muslim country, we may never hear of this idiot.
