You like it or hate it but what I feel the media is as good as sold and sides with whichever party pays more or whatever sells. They create such a hype as if the country is going through or facing a civil-war. And we all know who is responsible for the current chaos existing in this country. The losers, they are showing their brotherhood with each other and united in favor of corruption. Look at the way Kejriwal talked to press yesterday. And we say the freedom of expression is at risk.

Exactly what I was referring to, first of all you need to have enough time to be online forget about being on many other websites ..
Agreed.Of course I never off my computer because of net problems.
I agree I work on many websites beside my part time off line job but I will certainly make a complaint if anything anywhere is not working properly. Time is precious and everyone knows that and wants return for it.

I appreciate your viewpoint, but then I hope you are aware that Dhirubhai Ambani was not conferred the Bhart Ratna only because he had a shady past as a young man. So why should teh law be different for Dilip Kumar.? We must rememeber that Nationalism is above everything else and Dilip failed that test. he is lucky he was not prosecuted in 1965, due to Congress government. For hsi acting he earned money, but a national award, my word!!!. I cant imagine a US citizen getting an award for similar activities.
I agree. If Dhirubhai Ambani was denied Bharatratna because of his shady past, why OmPuri who was involved in domestic violence case was given Padmashri ?

What Ruskin Bond said is right. I agree with him Awards won't come easily. I also agree with him that returning the award is ingratitude on his part.

I love the writings of Ruskin Bond. He is correct not to return the awards. In any case the awards were returned by writers and others under a grand move orchestrated by the Congress and the Left parties, but the hulla bulla failed.

I tend to agree with him in some ways not just about religion but about other aspects too because a certain amount of intolerance is part and parcel of all socities , not just Indian..Ruskin Bond elaborated this point when he was asked why he did not give back his award saying that he had struggled hard to earn them and will not return them..also, that media is highlighting intolerant issues now whereas earlier with a near mute media communal issues were never given any coverage or given very little coverage

One can also understand this mindset given the kind of politicians and celebrities we have , who have all got away with murder, scam and more and people like Sonia and family hold the nation to ransom when their corrupt practices get exposed ! That is the kind of example we have for youngsters today ..
Many more high profile peoples are facing court cases. Lalu Parsad, Mulayam Singh, Mayawati, Jagdish Titles and many more. This decision is message that now it is possible evade after crime. If some one have money and political power they can do what they want.
Thanks to the previous corrupt rule, it has always been easy for politicians to get away with any sort of scams and crime , now actors and other celebrities too are joining the rank. Sanjay Dutt is the sole person who got convicted and to give due credit to him, he also expressed regret and aplogised several times about his deed unlike Salman who has been strutting around and taking on different avatars of that of a pseudo social worker and Robinhood to hood wink the law , which seems to have succeeded.So the message is to make enough money and then you dont have to worry about the law and its consequences !
Salman a Robinhood !!! Feeling like Laughing aloud. Yes Salman described as a Philanthropist sounds ridiculous.

Personal problems are there in everyone's life, Dilip Kumar too ran away with another woman ..but that is not the issue that we were discussing , we are only concerned about the an actor as a citizen of the country, whether he has been a law abiding person and contributed positively to the society other than as an actor ..No point in bringing in personal matters which , in the first place was not discussed !
