I love what you said about polarization of people and the political agenda behind it all. I wish others could be as intuitive..sigh!Shuchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264576845463233171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448299839998583056.post-30449080057478850082012-06-18T02:27:57.381+02:002012-06-18T02:27:57.381+02:00Completely agree with you about people who can not...Completely agree with you about people who can not stop complaining. I find such people so tiresome and hard to have a conversation with! <br /><br />On the note of Satyamev Jayate, clearly the people involved did not feel up to a healthy debate. They were like "eh, whatever, you kids don't know what you're talking about". I gave it some thought, and I feel like the older generation is a little more sensitive about the issue that was brought up in the email than our generation is. I think that's fair, given that they have had first hand experience of religion based violence. I thought about how an American would feel if s/he donated money to Oprah, and found out that it is going build madrasas in afghanistan. I suppose they would not feel very good about it, knowing that madrasas are often used by the taliban to brainwash and make terrorists out of little kids, instead of actually educating them. Especially, if this whole thing is being kept under wraps by Oprah.<br /><br />That email was total shit written by some lunatic to undercut Aamir Khan's message (oh the horror if their bahu talks back when she is asked to abort her girl child) and to polarize people on the basis of religion to win votes. But this is how I tried to make sense of what was going through other people's minds who were trying to defend and find logic in the content of that email.<br /><br />I'm going to leave this as an anonymous message, but I hope you know who I am :)<br /><br />Feels good to vent my thoughts here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
