Vertigo,
Seems Amir Khan has got your goat and is playing on your mind. Where did I ask for any proof? I believe what Amir Khan said in the interview. I believe it is his life. Do you think he should not have the freedom to live it the way he chooses to?
Now Amir Khan being a celibrity, is an easy target. Instead of speaking his mind in the open and thus facing bigotry as well as hostility, there are many people who we look up to and revere have actually done what Amir Khan said. E.g Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google has given up his Indian passport to take on American citizenship. Or for the matter, Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft? Did these guys too not get Indian education, and benefit from govt. funded and subsidized IIT's? But how does that make it wrong from making best of their lives? On the other hand many eminent scientist and engineers working with ISRO, IAS, IMA etc, would have given up good career prospects and chances of accumulating immense wealth to serve the country. That is commendable. The point here is simple. We are great country because we have the freedom to make choices and live our lives the way we want to. Freedom of speech, and having the right to criticize ourselves when we think is wrong, is what differentiates us from China, or Saudi Arabia or North Korea. Few people understand this, or can take criticism in the stride without getting messed up in the mind. Simply, your argument is too narrow, and no different from the crowd that is upset, and feels wronged or outraged about somebody excercising the right given to us in our constitution. And in the process, an issue has made out from nothing.....
