Why Don't They See............

Hi people,

Now, I was just flipping the news channel and caught up with the news that the Shiv Sena Party is coming up with something against SRK. When I heard the whole news about SRK's announcement about the Pak Cricketers, Shiv Sena's Threats, and then the announcements by SRK in self-defence so on & so forth, I thought this was some media hype created to back his movie before its release. But on deeper investigation into the matter, this issue was more revealing than I thought. When you follow the Shiv Sena's influence over Bollywood, you can easily say that they seem to have a far more stronger and harder grip over Bollywood than the (in)famous 'D Company' itself. Right from the rival negotiations between congress leader Sunil Dutt and Shiv Sena during the arrest of Sanjay Dutt(according to TADA ACT), to the ban of Hindi film 'The Fire'(which was lesbian-theme oriented movie) as it was 'against the culture of India', to the peace-talks between Bachchan Family and the Thackerays' as Jaya Bachchan refused to speak in Marathi in the Parliament, to the latest SRK issue. Whenever someone from bollywood pissed them off, the Sena or the Thackerays' saw to it that they brought hell upon their heads. Absolutely no one wants to incur the wrath of the Shiv Sena. But I side with SRK this time and wish to congratulate him on his successful stand against the Sena. Even the recent Shabana Azmi speech was against the Shiv Sena's protests against SRK and his latest movie. What I cannot understand is the reason why Bollywood's so called Famous and Influential Stars shut themselves up instead of taking back on the Sena. I don't think egos' are to be shown in situations like this. Neither do I think they are so afraid to stand against the Sena. Why don't they see this situation as an oppurtunity to revolt back against the Sena and get ahold of Bollywood from the clutches of the Thackerays'?

According to the latest news as on February 5th 2100 hrs local time, Salman Khan announced his full support to Shah Rukh Khan stating " Shah Rukh has no reason to apologize to the Shiv Sena or to anyone as he has a right and is free to express himself and his opinions about anything as long as it concerns himself ".He also said that the Sena's act of tearing and burning down the new SRK Movie posters is an act of cowardice. This support is expected to stir more  revolt amongst the bollywood and other political parties against Shiv Sena.


As expected, by midnight, all the major Bollywood stars raced out of their hides to the rescue of SRK and his new movie, announcing their support on Broadcasting Media like National T.V. News Channels, Internet etc. Shiv Sena's major support in politics and long-time alliance BJP itself says that the movie has to be let out and the threats sent out by Sena to theatre owners should be taken back. This revolt is what India is in need of.
