Many of locals would be aware of lifting ban of Indian movies after 1965 war.The Indian delegation was visiting Pakistan for Akbar Khan's movie Tajmahal in Pakistan in which Noor jehan 's grand daughter Sonia Jehan performed as Mumtaz Begum.The thing went bad when Anchor Fakhar-e-Alam in premier of Taj mahal called Feroz khan,the elder bro of producer Akbar khan upon stage to have few words.Feroz Khan who was already drunked started saying unexpected things for Pakistan and Pakistanis.Though most of them were really true but feroz showed that he doesnt belong to good family background and had no manners how to represent a country.I would comment then one by one.
Feroz said:
"I am a proud Indian. India is a secular country. Muslims there are making lot of progress. Our President is a Muslim, Prime Minister a Sikh. Pakistan was made in the name of Islam but look how the Muslims are killing each other," Feroze Khan was quoted as saying during the premiere by the local daily 'The Nation'
Is India really secular,a big endless debat but I have always doubt about secular status of India,when i see things like Gujrat riots,bombay riots,Babri Masjid destruction and recently ,a Muslim burnt live ,i dont like to believe that India is really a secular state,though Indian media tries its best to represent their hindu state as a Secular country.
He said further
"I have not come here on my own. I was invited to come. Our films are so powerful that your government could not stop them from long," the daily reported.
So true,no doubt about that,don't we die to watch Indian movies and listen Indian music?Its not bad to listen music of other countries,when we can watch movies by Speilberg,who is a conservative jew then why not Indian movies?but question here is that how people of that country react.Feroz is not the only Indian,majority of Indians think such stupid things that "Pakistanis watch our movies" "Pakistanis visit our cricket forums"(Referring cricbuzz) where Indians are used to say pakistans to leave the channels because its *their* website.LOL,Shouldn't America ask Iranians and other enimies NOT to use Internet because Internet is an American Invention?But americans really dont go for such thing much.
It was time that our local channels learn from this incident and stop promoting Indian movies and drams in local channels and promote our local stuff,but they didnt learn a single lesson as yet.Sonia gandi said very true long time back that Inda dont need to se conventional weapons to fight with pakistan,since India already injected its culture in Pakistani society.Will we deny this fact?
While feroz embarrased Indian delegation,Mr bhatt tried to control the situation.
We all are extremely shocked with the incident and so were the police and other Pakistani officials. It was certainly not expected from Feroze,Mahesh Bhatt said.
On the other hand people like these feel proud on lame attitude of Feroz Khan.
What all i believe that its all drama to get attention of BJP so that Feroz could getinto politics,and i believed he got succeeded.Thankyou Feroz for showing us reality,we would like to welcome more people like Feroz so that they could reveal more about India and Indians .
