Equality among equals

Few days ago, bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was detained at a US airport, allegedly because of his surname. This received media spot-light. Ok...he is an iconic person in India, but this happens to many citizens in India...where VIPs like him get the privelege and they come in the exception list. Look at Praful Patel, he said -- "We will take this matter with US". How common Indian would be detained....who cares....
    This is not about Shah Rukh Khan, or this specific incident, alone. It is only natural for him to feel aggrieved; immigration procedures are not exactly pleasant. But the officials were just doing their job. The US is well within its rights to lay down the law on its soil, which has ensnared celebrity Americans as well: Edward Kennedy and Al Gore. After the next day of his detention, we got the news about Bob Dylan being questioned by 2 young police cops in US....who is the iconic person there...This shows how transparent US is. Instead of crying foul, this incident should lead us to examine the inadequacies of our own system – on the security front, and our social attitudes. A rule-bound system such as the US’s shows how great Democracy they are, no matter how big democracy India is. 

Few days ago, Kalam's checking by american airlines was in top news. And see Kalam, he didn't said much about that incident, but Shah Rukh could have beared....but he gave advice to US - "America needs to offer more warmth"...in indirect words he meant, give more privilege to us VIPs....:P

This shows how brains of iconic class in India is shadowed by the VIP culture prevailing in India. See if our icons are like that, where is the country heading?


    Why then must a very large list of politicians – and their families, in some cases – be exempt from security checks at our airports? Judges and bureaucrats, along with our netas hold up traffic on a daily basis when they go about town, causing much inconvenience to the public. I think time has come for think for us, the public that we sack these powers from these politicians and other VIPs.....instead of crying foul...ohh our hero was detained in US...etc...etc.... Its time to wake up............:D....thoda jyada ho gaya...


Right now our society is going like "Equaltiy among equals", that is if you are in general public....you will all be treated like that ... and if you are VIPs... than you will be treated differently. Of course its true that a Billionaire will not have feast with beggars, etc , so above phrase that "Equality among Equals" is valid...but when it comes to democracy , we all should have Equal rights....instead of right of Equality...:D


Jai Hind...Happy Independance day to all...
