Khan was born in Bandra's Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai, India, to a Muslim family that has been actively involved in the Indian motion picture industry for several decades. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer while his uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a film producer as well as a director and an actor. His family on his father´s side are originally from Herat, Afghanistan.
@shobhan1951 my problem is that he is not mentioning the fact that plenty of Muslims were also victims of what happened in bombay, thats why i call it appeasement. i didnt see amitabh or akshay kumar calling on hindus to come out to protest what happened in gujarat or the demolition of babri masjid.
to the uploader, i think that his reply was more nuanced than your video title suggests, he was also saying hindus need to recognise saffron extremism in india..he was being political and careful with his words but this was not appeasement
I don't know about buddhist in burma...bt being true nepali Buddhist...in nepal or anywhere in the world we dont act with people on the basis of religious beliefs...after all ishowr allah ishu...all the same...Buddham saranam gachami...and come to nepal to see religious tolerance...we ve been living peacefully in nepal whether we r hindu,muslim, buddhist or christian...nepal the country of pure love, brotherhood and peace....
Amir Khan, you are my idol not just because you are an actor of excellence but you are truthful and bold enough to tell facts without fear or favour. I liked it when you grouped terrorists into one group and that they belong too no religion. Religion with God as its symbol should never propagate violence and terror.
@bossyboots55 given the amount of comments this video has gotten, i have watched this video a thousand times over for the past three years now. but i just dont understand one thing. when thousands upon thousands of innocent lives, both hindu and muslim alike, are lost due to communal and bigoted politicians, how come no one india cries about that? more indians have died as a result of these political riots than by bombs planted. advani's 'yath ratha' alone left a trail of blood in ram's name.
the 'mullahs' as you called them are no longer in power in afghanistan. last time i checked, it was president hamid karzai. the fundamentalist religious leaders have little to no influence in pakistan, since they cant seem to win power and in the past only managed to win one or only two seats in parliament, before the american invasion of afghanistan.
i mean given the daily bombings by the taliban, the daily killings, and shootings in karachi, the economy tanking by the day. zardari's corrupt rule, no lights and constant load shedding, the army constantly interfering in politics, 70% of pakistan's budget goes to the military not the people, if anyone is going to break up its pakistan. it already happened once in 1971. india could break up too, but if their economy keeps on pacing, break up is an unlikely scenario for india.
well they have killed thier own people before, but pakistani govt. is not accepting ajmal's nationality. plus please read the book 'by way of deception: the making and unmaking of a mossad officer" written by victor ostrovsky, an ex-mossad agent whistle blower himself.
@borobababaas which side is he originally from herat? you are right he is not pakistani, in fact he is a descendant of india's first education minister, moulana abul kalam azad and has long ties to the congress party.
@18gowtham, I do not know why you have to be judgemental about the minorities (or hindus) in pakistan or what basis you have. I do agree that most of the muslims in India are patriotic and love India as their country. India Zindabad.
@ravibudela you are saying what i am saying. that EVERYONE is a victim of these types of acts, including what happened in Bombay and that was the only point i was trying to make. why didnt he say that? im not telling him what to say, im making a point, he says 'Muslims should come out to protest' but why not also say they hey 'guess what Muslims were also victims here, as all Indians were regardless of their ethnicnity, Bombay being diverse as it is, and regardless of their creed / religion'.
@Victorinox99 i mean do you even know that housing discrimination is perfectly legal in india? most of the middle class do not live in single family homes, they live in 'housing colonies' they live in condo's or 'flats'. they are legally discriminated against, in delhi, in bombay and are literally told 'sorry no muslims are allowed' and its perfectly legal thanks to a supreme court order a few years ago. even big actors, shabana azami, imran hashmi have brought up this issue.
there is no taliban in india. thats a fact. the bjp whips up fanatical hindus into a frenzy over pakistan and thats what i was talking about. besides why should they send anyone into pak? they view all indian muslims as 'pakistanis' so they attack them instead!
SALMAN KHAN YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT!!!!!! I am happy to see that you are a man of conviction. Few would dare to do what you did, for they have fear or they are ignorant. You are a great person for I see that you are not seeking glory for yourself but you are seeking the truth and worship the truth.
pak kashmir is occupied by the pakistani govt.pak kashmir is not a member of the u.n. pakistani troops are all over gilgit baltistan. i mean tell me this, why did pakistan scede kashmiri land to china? why does it allow china to occupy aksai chin, which is part of kashmir? only india demands china returns these lands of kashmir. there is peace in india's kashmir. omar abdullah is the duly elected chief minister, and a proud indian muslim. his policemen maintain law and order, not the army.
I do not know if Amir Khan and Salman Khan can be contacted directly. I am really impressed with their great devotion for the betterment of society, They are men of intense passion and courage for whatever they do and they are moving in the right direction to create world peace and harmony. I truly admire them for this and I consider them as my brothers though we are not related by blood.
@exec9292 not true. pakistanis are NATIVE to their lands. they speak native languages, punjabi, sindhi, pashto, baluchi. not all pakistani citizens can even enter pakistan, just ask the bihari's in refugee camps of bangladesh for the last 40 years now. an indian muslim cannot walk into pakistan and take up citizenship, they wont allow it. they wont even allow their own citizens in. so no its not like pakistan at all.
@Victorinox99 india's own govt report showed that half of all muslims in india live in poverty. lack of education, development, ghettoization, discrimination in housing, police and judicial bias. india has a long way to go in the way she treats her minorities. denying it doesnt help.
the thing is, why should all muslims be blamed for what happened in bombay? where was akshay kumar calling on all hindus to protest gujarat, or babri masjid riots? instead this guy, amir khan, was taking out p.a. tv ad spots calling for harmony, meaning it was targeted at muslims specifically. never mind the fact that dozens of muslims were victims at what happened in bombay something that is not mentioned here by amir khan.
those are indo-european languages which are spoken in central india. the south speaks dravidian languages, of which brahui, is found in sindh, pakistan. pakistan doesnt exist due to different cultural or ethnic customs. it exists only only the bases of religion. hence the now defunct east pakistan. the fact is that pakistani's have more in common with indians, sri lankans, than they do with arabs, or turks. go ask them and even they will tell you this.
terrorists are found among hindu fundamentalists too, who have bombed everything from mosques to churches throughout india. dont forget that either. in pakistan, many people are themselves victims of bombings as well, many say the indian raw agency is behind them.
@ravibudela Very good comment!!! I am glad to see this! It's easy for us to criticize them for what they are saying during an interview calmly, but it is certainly not easy to say something calmly on a pressuring interview!!
And I have lived through 3 riots in my lifetime in my hometown and heard people that I knew, die. So I know about the tension in the communities back there.
@bossyboots55 yes thats true, his name is tariq jahen, his son was shahzad. he is a muslim, but he is of asian descent. he was born in the pakistani side of kashmir which has a very large community in the uk.
well i do hail from an indian muslim family, many of us do have relatives in karachi. i dont see why hating pakistan = 'patriotism'? especially when china is a bigger threat. its enemy #1 for usa, so why not india? pakistan doesnt have the military capability of china and is merely their ally. yet all the politicians do is harp on pakistan so much, versus trying to find a fair solution to the decades long kashmir dispute which keeps both countries in poverty.
first off thats not entirely true. most indian muslims just want peace in the region and cant understand why china is not considered a bigger threat to india than pakistan is. china is america's big rival and considered the #1 threat to the u.s. so why not in india as well? both india and pakistan have their own problems. everyone knows this. pakistanis are too busy fighting each other over ethnicity. its what lead to the break up of pakistan in 1971. indian muslims see this too.
@JagjeetMann really what did i write that is wrong? fact: legalized housing discrimination exists in india thanks to a supreme court law allowing it. even to a point that muslim bollywood actors have complained about it, from imran hashmi to shabana azami. just cuz you want to live in denial doesnt mean you cant hide from the truth!
@sushanalone i am a muslim and i agree with your comments, i am against hindu bashing. one can oppose the radicals without being prejudice against an entire group of people.
"its time we recognize politicians who remind us of what our religion is, if they remind us what our caste is, if they remind us what our creed is, if they remind us what our language is, clearly this is not someone we should be trusting". i hope isrealis and jews worldwide are paying attention to this!
I might wanna ask you the same question. Your profile says you live in Chicago. And you don't have a desi accent when you speak English. It must have been quite a long time you are in U.S. How do you know what goes on back home?
you mean like the rss? arrested for a series of bombings across india? the people who murdered gandhi in cold blood. does anyone really believe that godse 'acted alone'? or that it was planned and carried out by the rss themselves!
@a55kika18 well the man who said that was jaswant singh, who was kicked out of the bjp, a hindu fundamentalist party, allied with the shiv sena, and he was a former foreign minister of india. i thought it was a fantastic qoute and that sums everything up best. he wrote the book 'jinnah, india, independence, partition' which got him expelled from the bjp.
one thing his comments about politicians whipping up religious fervor, his cousin, najma heptullah, is a member of the fanatical, hindu extremist bjp party. why doesnt he tell his message to her!
any nukes fired at india will be responded with equally. india will hit back with thier own nukes, putting millions of lives at risk and nowhere more so than in kashmir itself on both sides of the border. dont forget that pakistan suffered a civil war and was cut in half. not to mention the ethnic divisions, the baluch and pashtu separatism. even pakistan kashmir wants to secede. and unlike pakistan, with india's economy rising, you might get to a point where pakistan will want to rejoin india.
OMG... I first watch "3 Idiots" and think that Amir Khan is an awsome actor and then learn that he's a Muslim. Do you want to know how I feel? I feel awsome.
im on the side of the people, because of the prospect of nuclear war. well you got what you want, mass arrests have been made in pakistan as it is. both countries need to co-operate with each other, and its ironic that india's home minister is refusing a joint indo-pak investigation.
@MrKasperabhay i actually live in the west, in america, and nothing compares to what we are seeing over in india. i have yet to see any of our mosques to be demolished in the west. i have yet to see organized riots against us in the west, the way we see in india all the time. gujarat is a perfect example of that, which happened 10 years ago.
well do remember that hyderabad was forced into india after the 48' invasion. also, an entire nation shouldnt be blamed for the acts of a few people, otherwise i should blame you for the mosque bombing in hyderabad, that you had no connection to. hatred of pakistan doesnt equal patriotism. patriotism is the voice of reason to spare millions of lives on both sides from a nuclear war. i mean where is your outrage over the malegoan or hyderabad mosque bombings? pakistan is cooperating with india.
no only a sliver of pak kashmir is called 'azad kashmir' the bulk is called gilgit baltistan. it is dominated by lahori punjabis who control pakistan. pakistani troops are all over the place. you can hardly call that an 'independent state'. pakistan stays there to control the mountains where the five rivers begin. when pakistan cannot even take back their own citizens, why would they take in indian muslims? they dont even like the ones already there, you know muhajirs.
what this nuclear armed region needs is peace. china is a way bigger threat to india than pakistan can ever be. china rivals america and is americas #1 threat. pakistan is simply an ally of china, and is in no way anywhere near to the military capabilities of the chinese.
@optimistsRUS but he was appeasing. he should have said it bluntly, 'hey guess what over 200 muslims were also victims of this, and that they wanted to attack india as a whole'. the problem in india, is that you often associate muslims with pakistan. muslims in india are not pakistani, which is dominated by punjabis. i am not a paindoo punjabi.
of course. its part of the reason why i became sufi. taliban, and wahabism is not islam. the way they behave, they way they kill and murder, shows they hide behind religion to mask their political agenda. taliban is a political ideology that has nothing to do with religion or islam. its why they hate the sufi's so much, and kill and murder, sufi's, shias, and many other different types of muslims as well. they are nothing more than muslim versions of zionists.
@gobuddyboy you know i was in india in 1994 about a year after the babri masjid and bombay riots of 1992 - 1993 and this same guy, amir khan, would do these tv ad's preaching about religious harmony, etc. not once did he call for hindus to protest those events back then.
@ExposingJews2012 indian govt is NOT zionist, since they rely heavily on Muslim votes. you need to make the difference between zionists and jews. not all jews are zionists. pakistan cant even take in mohajir's in bangladesh, how can you tell indian muslims to cross the border then? what this region needs is peace, not more talk of war or hatred.
then why does bollywood purposely attempt to use their movies as propaganda aimed at pakistan? why are there so many Muslim actors now in bollywood? when in the past they couldn't even use their real names? because its being aimed at pakistan that's why. if you dont want Pakistanis to watch your movies, then its simple dont use Muslim actors and actresses.
@MrKasperabhay i was born in the u.s. that grants me automatic citizenship by birthright. nobody cant deport me. i cant even have my citizenship stripped from me. what those soldiers did was wrong, obama apologized for it, and i expect the soldiers to be punished for it too. the irony is that most of the supporters of hindu fundamentalism live in the west - not india itself. why does the hindu in the west become so angry i ask?
I could hear and see, without physically hearing and seeing with my natural eyes and ears. I felt this great shaking in my spirit and I saw what appeared to be a black preacher in the vision and he had a bible in his right hand, and he started saying. GLORY TO GOD, GLORY TO GOD! Now, I could hear him say this in my spirit, I wasn't physically hearing with my ears, but I could understand it very clearly and vividly. It was like I had ears on my ribs, and this was how I could hear.
Scientific studies have shown that the method of slaughter (Zhabh) instructed by the Prophet (pbuh) is the most perfect, healthy and humane way of slaughter, which causes least pain to the animal and is a means to be protected from many diseases amongst many other harms which cannot be found in the conventional penetrating captive bolt stunning method of modern times. Recently a study was carried out by Professor Wilhelm Schulze and his colleague Dr. Hazim at the School of Veterinary Medicine
ya but the problem is he is being apologetic for being muslim, while not mentioning the fact that well over 100 indian muslims were also victim of what happend in bombay
@xgotfiveonitx oh ya, the comment is by former indian foreign minister jaswant singh, who wrote a book recently called jinnah india independence partition. i loved the qoute alot and it sums up everything perfectly.
@Victorinox99 thats why jaswant singh said the comments he did. 'we treat them as aliens because we continue to ask even after pakistan you still want something?'. whenever we ask for more rights, better access to development you say 'goto pakistan'.
"Look into the eyes of the Muslims that live in India, and if you truly see through the pain that they live through, to which land do they belong? We (Hindus) treat them as aliens. Somewhere, Inside, because we continue to ask 'even after Pakistan you still want something?' these are citizens of India now, Every Muslim that lives in India is a loyal Indian and we (Hindus) must treat them as so!" - Former Indian Foreign Minister, Jaswant Singh, Author of "Jinnah, India, Indepdendence, Partition"
awami league. thats your pashtun party there. in gilgit baltistan and 'azad' kashmir, they want to be free of pakistani rule. you know why? because pakistan is dominated by the punjabis. the muhajirs say it, the baluch say it. the same punjabis who refuse to allow biharis back into pakistan, fellow muslims i might add. the same pashtuns voted against joining pakistan and even voted for congress and nehru in the 1946 elections, that jinnah had swept ironically.
@malganis83 Now, we are told that the motorbike used in the September 29 Malegaon bomb blasts was registered in Pragya's name, and this led to her arrest. Are we to believe that the police took two years to find out the registration details of a bike involved in the blasts?
@johnnydoeist because he is a famous muslim who has to explain himself to the majority hindu/brahman public. no one asked amitabh or akshay kumar about his thoughts on the babri masjid demolition.
@tcuk after seeing the rise of hindu extremist groups and parties in india, as an indian muslim, im starting to think maybe jinnah was right after all.
thats because there are more people in india. it has 1 billion people vs. pak's 130 million. i mean lets get real, 70% of pakistani's live in abject poverty. the same % cannot even read or write their own name. you can look up these facts on wikipedia or any other online encyclopedia. of course there is poverty in both these lands, they were looted by the british after all. i mean lets peg it to the dollar, $1 gets 55 indian rupees, while $1 gets 90 pak rupees. that says it all.
@blackbahadur i call it appeasement because he came off as apologetic for being muslim in regards to bombay. he failed to mentioned that hundreds of muslims, which bombay has a very large community, 10% in fact, were victims of ajmal kasab too, either killed or injured. they didnt care who was hindu, who was muslim, they only saw 'indian' that was it. and its time for hindus to accept that yes many muslims live in india and are indian too as amir khan is, as i am as well. we are NOT pakistani.
@14cheetah what about the legalized discrimination against minorities in housing in india itself? even imran hashmi, to shabana azami complained about it. the order was approved by india's own supreme court in delhi.
furthermore, if indian muslims have nothing in common with pakistanis, then neither do kashmiris. pakistan only claims kashmir simply due to the fact it holds a muslim-majority and the plan for partition was that muslim majority areas will goto pakistan. jinnah wanted hyderabad state to join, because it had a muslim king, the nizam, it was the largest province in british india, yet the problem was it held a hindu majority. all your other arguments make no sense at all.
@na121262 well i hope you mean integration. muslims and other minorities already contribute to india in their own ways. ill tell you who doesnt contribute, its the fascists in 'hindutva', the rss, bjp shiv sena they do everything they can do divide indians rather than unite indians. is it little wonder then that india has so many separatist movements, both peaceful and militant? from punjab to the orientals of north-east india? you decide is india a 'hindu' nation or is it a diverse nation?
@MAStuttgart maybe in pakistan they live divided, but not in india. ya we see the 'respect' and 'modesty' towards indian muslims, when they organize anti-muslim riots, in bombay, gujarat, and elsewhere. when the bjp targets muslims daily, saying things like we 'breed like flies', or demolish our mosques. use their media to portray as as terrorists, extremists, mafia, and gangsters. accusing the govt of 'minority appeasement' etc.
2008 - 166 people - Do we REALLY forget these atrocities so soon? 2001 - Indian Parliament 1999 - Kargil 1990-2004 - Kashmir Insurgency - 40000 killed 1980s - Khalistan 1971, 1965, 1948 - Kasmir wars thrust upon us We should ask ourselves - do we have ANY REASON to Like Pakistan??
i don't see how one has to show national pride by bashing pakistan? if you really want to show pride, show it through by promoting peace between the two countries. and I think Indian Muslims can play a huge role in that. Im Hyderabadi myself, and i have no ill will towards Pakistan or Pakistanis. if you bring up prejudice against Indian Muslims, brother, Pakistanis are prejudice even against themselves and all the ethnic riots in Karachi prove that.
its true more and more pple are realizing about the propaganda which is divide and rule and no truth in media and amir is actually aware of this i find that fascinating, respect to him cuz of sincerity and understand
@allhuakbar1 um no, he is indian and was born and raised in india. though i dont doubt he may hold afghani ancestory, he is a descendant of india's first education minister and independence leader, moulana abul kalam azad and some fo his own relatives, are involved in politics. he is the son of director nasir hussain.
and what pakistanis dont seem to know or care about is this. if kashmir goes, india will throw out every single muslim to pakistan. many already want this as it is. and we already know pakistan dont want indian muslims they cant even take in their own citizens stuck in bangl. if pakistan really cared about kashmir, which they dont, they would grant freedom and independence to their side of kashmir, which they refuse to do. they just want to control the water resources and nothing more.
also predictions of india's union breaking up never came true. it never turned into the soviet union, or yugoslavia. small groups of seperatists really dont mean much. you also have marxist rebels too that fight against upper caste hindus on behalf of lower caste hindus, etc. but then again 1 billion people live in india, in a small land mass, so people are bound to bump into each other now and than. but ya pashutns and pak kashmir do want seperation from pakistan. pashtuns want to join afghans
plus when scores of masjid's were bombed all over india, including a sufi dargah in ajmer, the most peaceful people you could imagine, how come no one in india called upon other people, or other 'communities' to come out to protest that? and this includes the very mosque that i pray at whenever i visit india, which is the mecca masjid in hyderabad. think about this, if i was visiting hyd at the time of those blasts, that could have been me killed, since it went off in the spot i usually pray at.
Amir Khan a brilliant actor turned into truth teller.
good job sir.
if that were true then explain what the bhuddists are doing in burma then?
Khan was born in Bandra's Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai, India, to a Muslim family that has been actively involved in the Indian motion picture industry for several decades. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer while his uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a film producer as well as a director and an actor.

@JiruTiyya1 must be something wrong with your comp. did you try reloading the page again?
''If they remind us of our religion,of our language,of our caste then we must not trust them''..Very well said Sir very well said.
That's why i have great respect for this genius, a true indian and a great actor, i have nothing to do anything with his religion,BHARAT MATA KI JAI
to the uploader, i think that his reply was more nuanced than your video title suggests, he was also saying hindus need to recognise saffron extremism in india..he was being political and careful with his words but this was not appeasement
I don't know about buddhist in burma...bt being true nepali Buddhist...in nepal or anywhere in the world we dont act with people on the basis of religious beliefs...after all ishowr allah ishu...all the same...Buddham saranam gachami...and come to nepal to see religious tolerance...we ve been living peacefully in nepal whether we r hindu,muslim, buddhist or christian...nepal the country of pure love, brotherhood and peace....
Amir Khan, you are my idol not just because you are an actor of excellence but you are truthful and bold enough to tell facts without fear or favour.

Well said Aarmir..You are a true hero!My fav actor

@ThePakibro786 not sure which one but thanks.
the 'mullahs' as you called them are no longer in power in afghanistan. last time i checked, it was president hamid karzai. the fundamentalist religious leaders have little to no influence in pakistan, since they cant seem to win power and in the past only managed to win one or only two seats in parliament, before the american invasion of afghanistan.
@SamuelJoaodaSuica which film industry is the best ?? may i know my dear friend ..is it sri lanka ???
لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله.......... PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM
i mean given the daily bombings by the taliban, the daily killings, and shootings in karachi, the economy tanking by the day. zardari's corrupt rule, no lights and constant load shedding, the army constantly interfering in politics, 70% of pakistan's budget goes to the military not the people, if anyone is going to break up its pakistan. it already happened once in 1971. india could break up too, but if their economy keeps on pacing, break up is an unlikely scenario for india.
Aamir Khan is real perfectionist ... one of Bollywood better products ... he is also a fine spokesman
well they have killed thier own people before, but pakistani govt. is not accepting ajmal's nationality. plus please read the book 'by way of deception: the making and unmaking of a mossad officer" written by victor ostrovsky, an ex-mossad agent whistle blower himself.
very intelligently answered by Amir. All smart guys of bolloywood r muslims.
@borobababaas which side is he originally from herat? you are right he is not pakistani, in fact he is a descendant of india's first education minister, moulana abul kalam azad and has long ties to the congress party.

Proud Of U Indian Muslim....

well i do hail from an indian muslim family, many of us do have relatives in karachi. i dont see why hating pakistan = 'patriotism'? especially when china is a bigger threat. its enemy #1 for usa, so why not india? pakistan doesnt have the military capability of china and is merely their ally. yet all the politicians do is harp on pakistan so much, versus trying to find a fair solution to the decades long kashmir dispute which keeps both countries in poverty.
first off thats not entirely true. most indian muslims just want peace in the region and cant understand why china is not considered a bigger threat to india than pakistan is. china is america's big rival and considered the #1 threat to the u.s. so why not in india as well? both india and pakistan have their own problems. everyone knows this. pakistanis are too busy fighting each other over ethnicity. its what lead to the break up of pakistan in 1971. indian muslims see this too.
@JagjeetMann really what did i write that is wrong? fact: legalized housing discrimination exists in india thanks to a supreme court law allowing it. even to a point that muslim bollywood actors have complained about it, from imran hashmi to shabana azami. just cuz you want to live in denial doesnt mean you cant hide from the truth!
@AbhaySinghBisen your argument doesnt change the fact that the bjp, modi, shiv sena only validates jinnah and pakistan.
@sushanalone i am a muslim and i agree with your comments, i am against hindu bashing. one can oppose the radicals without being prejudice against an entire group of people.
"its time we recognize politicians who remind us of what our religion is, if they remind us what our caste is, if they remind us what our creed is, if they remind us what our language is, clearly this is not someone we should be trusting". i hope isrealis and jews worldwide are paying attention to this!
have you seen whats buddists did to the tamils in sri lanka..or muslims in burma...then theres thailand japan myanmar the list goes on...
Can you give me some examples?
I might wanna ask you the same question. Your profile says you live in Chicago. And you don't have a desi accent when you speak English. It must have been quite a long time you are in U.S. How do you know what goes on back home?
you mean like the rss? arrested for a series of bombings across india? the people who murdered gandhi in cold blood. does anyone really believe that godse 'acted alone'? or that it was planned and carried out by the rss themselves!
@a55kika18 well the man who said that was jaswant singh, who was kicked out of the bjp, a hindu fundamentalist party, allied with the shiv sena, and he was a former foreign minister of india. i thought it was a fantastic qoute and that sums everything up best. he wrote the book 'jinnah, india, independence, partition' which got him expelled from the bjp.
@saisuryan why is it his responsibility? the last time checked, amir khan is not pakistani.
@Rohit84up nobody came out to 'explain themselves' when the gujarat riots happened?
one thing his comments about politicians whipping up religious fervor, his cousin, najma heptullah, is a member of the fanatical, hindu extremist bjp party. why doesnt he tell his message to her!
any nukes fired at india will be responded with equally. india will hit back with thier own nukes, putting millions of lives at risk and nowhere more so than in kashmir itself on both sides of the border. dont forget that pakistan suffered a civil war and was cut in half. not to mention the ethnic divisions, the baluch and pashtu separatism. even pakistan kashmir wants to secede. and unlike pakistan, with india's economy rising, you might get to a point where pakistan will want to rejoin india.
OMG... I first watch "3 Idiots" and think that Amir Khan is an awsome actor and then learn that he's a Muslim. Do you want to know how I feel? I feel awsome.
im on the side of the people, because of the prospect of nuclear war. well you got what you want, mass arrests have been made in pakistan as it is. both countries need to co-operate with each other, and its ironic that india's home minister is refusing a joint indo-pak investigation.
@MrKasperabhay i actually live in the west, in america, and nothing compares to what we are seeing over in india. i have yet to see any of our mosques to be demolished in the west. i have yet to see organized riots against us in the west, the way we see in india all the time. gujarat is a perfect example of that, which happened 10 years ago.
well do remember that hyderabad was forced into india after the 48' invasion. also, an entire nation shouldnt be blamed for the acts of a few people, otherwise i should blame you for the mosque bombing in hyderabad, that you had no connection to. hatred of pakistan doesnt equal patriotism. patriotism is the voice of reason to spare millions of lives on both sides from a nuclear war. i mean where is your outrage over the malegoan or hyderabad mosque bombings? pakistan is cooperating with india.
no only a sliver of pak kashmir is called 'azad kashmir' the bulk is called gilgit baltistan. it is dominated by lahori punjabis who control pakistan. pakistani troops are all over the place. you can hardly call that an 'independent state'. pakistan stays there to control the mountains where the five rivers begin. when pakistan cannot even take back their own citizens, why would they take in indian muslims? they dont even like the ones already there, you know muhajirs.
what this nuclear armed region needs is peace. china is a way bigger threat to india than pakistan can ever be. china rivals america and is americas #1 threat. pakistan is simply an ally of china, and is in no way anywhere near to the military capabilities of the chinese.
@optimistsRUS but he was appeasing. he should have said it bluntly, 'hey guess what over 200 muslims were also victims of this, and that they wanted to attack india as a whole'. the problem in india, is that you often associate muslims with pakistan. muslims in india are not pakistani, which is dominated by punjabis. i am not a paindoo punjabi.
of course. its part of the reason why i became sufi. taliban, and wahabism is not islam. the way they behave, they way they kill and murder, shows they hide behind religion to mask their political agenda. taliban is a political ideology that has nothing to do with religion or islam. its why they hate the sufi's so much, and kill and murder, sufi's, shias, and many other different types of muslims as well. they are nothing more than muslim versions of zionists.
Title of the video is not matching to the content. Title is in first look misleading.
@gobuddyboy you know i was in india in 1994 about a year after the babri masjid and bombay riots of 1992 - 1993 and this same guy, amir khan, would do these tv ad's preaching about religious harmony, etc. not once did he call for hindus to protest those events back then.
@ExposingJews2012 indian govt is NOT zionist, since they rely heavily on Muslim votes. you need to make the difference between zionists and jews. not all jews are zionists. pakistan cant even take in mohajir's in bangladesh, how can you tell indian muslims to cross the border then? what this region needs is peace, not more talk of war or hatred.
then why does bollywood purposely attempt to use their movies as propaganda aimed at pakistan? why are there so many Muslim actors now in bollywood? when in the past they couldn't even use their real names? because its being aimed at pakistan that's why. if you dont want Pakistanis to watch your movies, then its simple dont use Muslim actors and actresses.
@MrKasperabhay i was born in the u.s. that grants me automatic citizenship by birthright. nobody cant deport me. i cant even have my citizenship stripped from me. what those soldiers did was wrong, obama apologized for it, and i expect the soldiers to be punished for it too. the irony is that most of the supporters of hindu fundamentalism live in the west - not india itself. why does the hindu in the west become so angry i ask?
I could hear and see, without physically hearing and seeing with my natural eyes and ears. I felt this great shaking in my spirit and I saw what appeared to be a black preacher in the vision and he had a bible in his right hand, and he started saying. GLORY TO GOD, GLORY TO GOD! Now, I could hear him say this in my spirit, I wasn't physically hearing with my ears, but I could understand it very clearly and vividly. It was like I had ears on my ribs, and this was how I could hear.
Every mature human citizen of the world has a political opinion and the right to put it forward...they do not have to be politicians..
well certain groups like that do exist. sorry the western media doesnt care to show you it with thier propoganda.
Scientific studies have shown that the method of slaughter (Zhabh) instructed by the Prophet (pbuh) is the most perfect, healthy and humane way of slaughter, which causes least pain to the animal and is a means to be protected from many diseases amongst many other harms which cannot be found in the conventional penetrating captive bolt stunning method of modern times.
Recently a study was carried out by Professor Wilhelm Schulze and his colleague Dr. Hazim at the School of Veterinary Medicine
ya but the problem is he is being apologetic for being muslim, while not mentioning the fact that well over 100 indian muslims were also victim of what happend in bombay
@xgotfiveonitx oh ya, the comment is by former indian foreign minister jaswant singh, who wrote a book recently called jinnah india independence partition. i loved the qoute alot and it sums up everything perfectly.
@Victorinox99 thats why jaswant singh said the comments he did. 'we treat them as aliens because we continue to ask even after pakistan you still want something?'. whenever we ask for more rights, better access to development you say 'goto pakistan'.
big up from a Moroccan muslim
can u explain it
"Look into the eyes of the Muslims that live in India, and if you truly see through the pain that they live through, to which land do they belong? We (Hindus) treat them as aliens. Somewhere, Inside, because we continue to ask 'even after Pakistan you still want something?' these are citizens of India now, Every Muslim that lives in India is a loyal Indian and we (Hindus) must treat them as so!" - Former Indian Foreign Minister, Jaswant Singh, Author of "Jinnah, India, Indepdendence, Partition"
why didnt akshay kumar, or hithrik roshan do the same thing after the whole gujarat massacre?
@prabhatpalpal really? you can see the video right here on youtube. just type in 'jaswant singh jinnah' and you can see him say the qoute yourself.
and isreali zionist mossad agents, which is why white men with blonde hair were seen with shootouts with the cops, and a bombay policeman.
awami league. thats your pashtun party there. in gilgit baltistan and 'azad' kashmir, they want to be free of pakistani rule. you know why? because pakistan is dominated by the punjabis. the muhajirs say it, the baluch say it. the same punjabis who refuse to allow biharis back into pakistan, fellow muslims i might add. the same pashtuns voted against joining pakistan and even voted for congress and nehru in the 1946 elections, that jinnah had swept ironically.
@malganis83 Now, we are told that the motorbike used in the September 29 Malegaon bomb blasts was registered in Pragya's name, and this led to her arrest. Are we to believe that the police took two years to find out the registration details of a bike involved in the blasts?
gotfive, nice to see you bro. You are very much missed at "Naseeb"
@johnnydoeist because he is a famous muslim who has to explain himself to the majority hindu/brahman public. no one asked amitabh or akshay kumar about his thoughts on the babri masjid demolition.
@aminrajak they are named for abdul wahab who came up with his fundamentalist version of islam.
@tcuk after seeing the rise of hindu extremist groups and parties in india, as an indian muslim, im starting to think maybe jinnah was right after all.
thats because there are more people in india. it has 1 billion people vs. pak's 130 million. i mean lets get real, 70% of pakistani's live in abject poverty. the same % cannot even read or write their own name. you can look up these facts on wikipedia or any other online encyclopedia. of course there is poverty in both these lands, they were looted by the british after all. i mean lets peg it to the dollar, $1 gets 55 indian rupees, while $1 gets 90 pak rupees. that says it all.
@blackbahadur i call it appeasement because he came off as apologetic for being muslim in regards to bombay. he failed to mentioned that hundreds of muslims, which bombay has a very large community, 10% in fact, were victims of ajmal kasab too, either killed or injured. they didnt care who was hindu, who was muslim, they only saw 'indian' that was it. and its time for hindus to accept that yes many muslims live in india and are indian too as amir khan is, as i am as well. we are NOT pakistani.
@14cheetah what about the legalized discrimination against minorities in housing in india itself? even imran hashmi, to shabana azami complained about it. the order was approved by india's own supreme court in delhi.
furthermore, if indian muslims have nothing in common with pakistanis, then neither do kashmiris. pakistan only claims kashmir simply due to the fact it holds a muslim-majority and the plan for partition was that muslim majority areas will goto pakistan. jinnah wanted hyderabad state to join, because it had a muslim king, the nizam, it was the largest province in british india, yet the problem was it held a hindu majority. all your other arguments make no sense at all.
@na121262 well i hope you mean integration. muslims and other minorities already contribute to india in their own ways. ill tell you who doesnt contribute, its the fascists in 'hindutva', the rss, bjp shiv sena they do everything they can do divide indians rather than unite indians. is it little wonder then that india has so many separatist movements, both peaceful and militant? from punjab to the orientals of north-east india? you decide is india a 'hindu' nation or is it a diverse nation?
@MAStuttgart maybe in pakistan they live divided, but not in india. ya we see the 'respect' and 'modesty' towards indian muslims, when they organize anti-muslim riots, in bombay, gujarat, and elsewhere. when the bjp targets muslims daily, saying things like we 'breed like flies', or demolish our mosques. use their media to portray as as terrorists, extremists, mafia, and gangsters. accusing the govt of 'minority appeasement' etc.
2008 - 166 people - Do we REALLY forget these atrocities so soon?
2001 - Indian Parliament
1999 - Kargil
1990-2004 - Kashmir Insurgency - 40000 killed
1980s - Khalistan
1971, 1965, 1948 - Kasmir wars thrust upon us
We should ask ourselves - do we have ANY REASON to Like Pakistan??
i don't see how one has to show national pride by bashing pakistan? if you really want to show pride, show it through by promoting peace between the two countries. and I think Indian Muslims can play a huge role in that. Im Hyderabadi myself, and i have no ill will towards Pakistan or Pakistanis. if you bring up prejudice against Indian Muslims, brother, Pakistanis are prejudice even against themselves and all the ethnic riots in Karachi prove that.
what book in bible?
not everyone is bigot. peoples insecurity is what leads to prejudice like that. remember, Pakistanis are even prejudice against each other.
its true more and more pple are realizing about the propaganda which is divide and rule and no truth in media and amir is actually aware of this i find that fascinating, respect to him cuz of sincerity and understand
@allhuakbar1 um no, he is indian and was born and raised in india. though i dont doubt he may hold afghani ancestory, he is a descendant of india's first education minister and independence leader, moulana abul kalam azad and some fo his own relatives, are involved in politics. he is the son of director nasir hussain.
@AbhaySinghBisen why should bjp exist, when hindus are the majority in india?
and what pakistanis dont seem to know or care about is this. if kashmir goes, india will throw out every single muslim to pakistan. many already want this as it is. and we already know pakistan dont want indian muslims they cant even take in their own citizens stuck in bangl. if pakistan really cared about kashmir, which they dont, they would grant freedom and independence to their side of kashmir, which they refuse to do. they just want to control the water resources and nothing more.
also predictions of india's union breaking up never came true. it never turned into the soviet union, or yugoslavia. small groups of seperatists really dont mean much. you also have marxist rebels too that fight against upper caste hindus on behalf of lower caste hindus, etc. but then again 1 billion people live in india, in a small land mass, so people are bound to bump into each other now and than. but ya pashutns and pak kashmir do want seperation from pakistan. pashtuns want to join afghans
plus when scores of masjid's were bombed all over india, including a sufi dargah in ajmer, the most peaceful people you could imagine, how come no one in india called upon other people, or other 'communities' to come out to protest that? and this includes the very mosque that i pray at whenever i visit india, which is the mecca masjid in hyderabad. think about this, if i was visiting hyd at the time of those blasts, that could have been me killed, since it went off in the spot i usually pray at.
