People of Mumbai ,atleast those who went and watched My Name is Khan yesterday,openly defying the threats to block the screening of the film deserves all credit for not getting bullied by sena goons.
It's a shame that Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi was also part of a gang of goons who tried to stop screening in a theater.He was a former Chief Minister and above all a former Lok Sabha speaker!He should be ashamed of himself...
What ever Shah Rukh has said,Sena could have chosen a more democratic way of protest,if they think that his statements were not proper.Threats and violence is not the way forward.But then Shiv sena knows only gundagiri.The funny thing is when sena leaders talk about PATRIOTISM...!!
Sena goons beat-up Indians whom they claim are north Indians,they even destroy property of Marathi Manoos (cinema halls etc in Mumbai) and they claim ,they are standing up for Marathis and for patriotism..What joke..!!
And as for Shah Rukh's comments that pak players should have been there in IPL,well,he did not say that pak terrorists should be part of IPL..!
For God's sake let's have a strong stand against terrorism,but let's not make ourselves weak by thinking that a few pak cricketers can weaken our resolve to stand united against pak based terror.
Let's do every thing possible to defeat pakistan in its terror game,but let's stop these petty fights amongst ourselves.
As I said earlier,Shiv sena has every right to protest against Shah Rukh's comments,after all we are an open and democratic Country.The issue is with the mode of protest.
One can also say that Shah Rukh has not covered himself with glory in this matter.He regrets IPL not selecting even a single pak player,the question is he himself is owner of an IPL team,The Kolkotta Knight Riders,how many pakis his team selected??
Now coming back to the resolve of the Mumbaikars to defy sena orders,they have shown that they are strong,resilient people and they won't allow themselves to be bullied any more.
Let's hope this is only a bright beginning and this winds of change will blow across India and in future defeat fringe elements,groups who practice violence,parochialism,and divisive politics.Only then we,as a Nation,can stand united and crush the nefarious designs of pak based terror directed against us.

India's latest offer of talks to pak
Out of the blue India has offered to have talks with paksitan.No one knows what positive steps pak took on terror front which prompted the Indian government to have a dramatic U-turn on the no-talks-till-Mumbai-attack-master-minders-are-brought-to-book line.
Any way pak PM has fired the first salvo saying that India was pressurized by the international community to hold talks with pak to resolve the so-called Kashmir issue! His government also allowed terror groups based in pak to hold open meetings and demonstrations in which the Mumbai attack mastermind,the LeT chief hafeez saeed made open threats against India.
One hope and pray that there won't be a major terror attack in India in the near future.Usually when India sincerely offers talks,pakis always respond with terror attacks or back-stabbings,as what happened in Kargil.
If any one hopes that talks with pak will yield any result,sadly he is living in a fool's paradise!
The bad lessons are too many to think otherwise.
And if our politicians are not willing to learn the lessons,may GOD help we Indians..

MP IG's role model
A top Madhya Pradesh policeman on Tuesday shocked his audience when he hailed Ajmal Kasab , the lone terrorist arrested during the Mumbai terror attack, as a good role model during his speech.
Inspector General of Police (Special Forces) Rajendra Kumar cited the example of Kasab, 21, to buttress his point about the importance of undergoing a good training.
"If you are trained well, you can do anything," he said.
"An example is the Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab. He studied up to class 8 and received (terror) training for just one year. With this, he could operate weapons and gadgets and GPS devices. He could do this because he had passion and he trained very well. He could operate technology well because he trained himself well," Rajendra said.
The top cop went on to say that "Kasab is only an eighth standard pass. Still, he can use all sorts of weapons".
"He (Kasab) had the zeal in him. Can't we have the same (zeal) like his? We are more educated than him, we are more able than him," he added.
"Learn from Kasab about how to handle weapons," Rajendra added.
Kumar later said, "If somebody felt bad, I am sorry for that, but I have also cited other people like Sachin Tendulkar ."
Kumar denied that he had praised Kasab in his remarks, made while inaugurating a state-level shooting competition of the Madhya Pradesh police at the Border Security Force's Reoti Range near Indore.
"I am not praising Kasab. I strongly condemn Kasab. He should be given the maximum punishment," he added.
"My only aim was to motivate jawans in the area of shooting so that they can give a befitting reply to the terrorists," he asserted.
"My point was that we should take better training because ultimately we have to face this type of terrorist situation (26/11) in the future. Unless we are very well trained, we cannot deal with them (terrorists)," he added.
Defending himself, Kumar claimed that both Lord Ram and demon king Ravana are often quoted as parallel examples in the country.
