It only happens in india

I was going through thoughts of a famous Indian author (don't remember his name) in which he claimed that Indians are very clever individuals but they are very dumb community. It sort of made sense as we have charismatic individuals who are very successful in their respective field but when it comes to we as a nation we are not that successful.

Let it be sports, let it be business, let it be anything and you will see we have fantastic individuals but as a nation we are not that dominant.

One of the characteristics of any human being is that they always have personal agenda, upon the completion of which they will succeed making others fail. So on average as a nation we don't necessarily gain much from their success.

Let us take a burning issue which has kept the imagination of the whole nation. The Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Shiv sena row. It seems to me that SRK is getting support from all over India by not apologizing to Shiva sena.

Let us look at his point of view. He said that we should have picked Pakistan players. And he said that every Indian should have freedom of speech. I don't disagree with that. But i truly believe that SRK had hidden agenda behind that statement. If he believed that then he should have picked pakistani player himself. Kolkata Night riders wanted to get a fast bowler and they went for shane Bond instead of better pakistani bowlers like Sohail Tanvir and Mohammad Asif.

So now the real question comes why did he say that? Here is my theory. After the IPL fiasco all the pakistanis felt hurt and said that they will also boycott bollywood movies. SRK has a huge following in Pakistan and the IPL may have affected it. So by saying what he said, all he wanted was to win back pakistani fans. I have nothing against SRK, huge fan of him as a person But i guess he underestimated Shiv sena.

In conclusion i want to say that we have the freedom of speech which is our fundamental right but all the rights come with the responsibilities. You cannot use rights for your personal agendas. And i guess if you believe in 'KARMA' this is what SRK is getting back.

Let us think beyond our personal agendas and think about others. Let us try to put the nation first for a change. Let us take a cue from China where there is nothing personal, everything is of the nation and for the nation. We do not have to go up to that extent but let us just begin by putting country first and our personal agenda second.
