Amir Khan's take on intolerance in India .

India does not tolerate other culture, it respects, appreciates and treats it as it's  own. We Indians, celebrate dozens of official languages rather than homogenizing them. Now the questions raises,

• Is India a tolerant nation ?         YES
• Are some of them intolerant ?   YES 

Well, where the population of the country is  1.252 billion, we can't expect 100% tolerance statistically. If you look at the Global Peace Index, you will find that India dropped from 125 to 141 from 2009 to 2013 ( UPA term 2), and has further dropped from 141 to 143 in the past 2 years 
( dropped means increasing intolerance).

So  now when asked,

• Is intolerance increasing?         YES

But the pace is slowly decreasing. In fact between 2014-2015, intolerance has actually decreased from 2.571 to 2.504.

When considered Amir Khan's take on intolerance in India, he says that it is increasing moreover expressed his wife's anxiety and thoughts about leaving the country and relocating elsewhere. It was quiet ironic that  such a statement came from a person who is the brand ambassador of Swachh Bharat and also the face of incredible India. On the other hand  I would say that, he as an Indian citizen has every right to put forward his views, as our country gives us the freedom of speech. At the same time it also gives it's people the freedom to express their views and retort.

Going back to the time when 'three idiots' released,  Amir said that " if you read Chetan Bhagats's 5 point someone and seen  3 idiots, you'll realize that it's more or less inspired by the novel " When the journalist asked him if he read the novel, his answer was NO. Now a person who has hardly any knowledge of what is going on in his own movies, how much do you think knows about the nation  on the whole ?? Likewise he strongly supported the Narmada Bachao Andolan during the release of his movie, Rang De Basanti and vanished soon after the movie was out of the theatre. I hope you get my point.

Being a public figure he should be choosing his words carefully, as it can have a great impact on people and their views. He would have said in the most casual sense that he and his wife gave a thought of relocating moreover the media knows very well how to blow  this issue out of proportion and repeatedly criticize  an actors remarks. So b the bottom line is, we can be very easily manipulated  by media and famous people , this is one such  example. People down rated snap deal, retweeted what Anupam Kher said, by reacting in this way we are all the more proving his point.

So whom do you want to follow, the famous stars with minimal awareness or the media who is good at twisting sentences ????

Let us act mature and show everyone that India is growing as a nation and no doubt is among the most tolerant nations in the world !!
