I’m No. 10!!!

Which cop are you talking about.The guy SRK was trying to bully was an ordinary security wallah …paid by some security agency.He was not a cop.If it is some other cop you are writing about then how is that a guy who has had traumatic experience in the past with cops chose to verbally abuse them without any fear.

[Reply]

So the author is implying that SRK was attacked and setup  for refusing to let in a fat kid into his team? And all this accusation without any proof while there is audio proof of the actual events? Pathatic apologist for a badly behaved Bollywood star. Does it pay well to stoop so low?

[Reply]

The tragedy of this country is that our historians are so sure about what happened 2,500 years ago but our journalists have to do so much investigation, talk to so many unnameable but unimpeachable sources to find out what essentially happened on camera. Jai Ho

Predictable trash from Sujata, lot of mud slinging based on invented sources. No dirty trick will be spared by her to defend anyone remotely connected to Congress and she will go to any lengths to throw muck atanyone who dares to oppose her favorite party… Pathetic to say the least.

[Reply]

Give Shri. Vikas Dalviji the benefit of doubt instead of giving Shri. Shahrukh Khanji the benefit of doubt

[Reply]

Ha ha ha …. Very well said Sridhar.

[Reply]

The blogger Sujata has contradicted herself in the above blog. She has started with showing indifference with IPL by saying that she does not even watch its matches. And she has ended her blog by showing her concern for IPL that if SRK is mistreated, more than one owners of IPL will leave it causing a loss to it. The tone and tenure of the blog gives impression that it is a paid blog.

[Reply]

Why give benifit of doubt when we have audio and video footage nail the culprit. Be it SRK or cop. Also, I would like to know the name of the cop who is so brave to go against congress, I mean SRK.

[Reply]

Mumbai Police is the worst in India. Scrap them all. I would suggest 10 years van on Wankhede stadium for any national or international matches. MCA is a bunch of filthy lices should let dry off.

[Reply]

Sujathas version is very contradictory & misleading Could be a paid one. I am not in favour of Such a Confrontation !!
but the bad behaviour is a bad behaviour as it has appeared on videos cannot be denied and a suitable warning & punishment is a must
especially to one who had started considering & louding himserlf as God of the entertainment industry.At the same time,
I strongly appeal to all Indians & media not to analyse this incidence on any religious or political bases interests & motives . It is just a human Behaviour not always predictable !!

[Reply]

It is common knowledge that the the ex-Italian maid , who now happens to be named by an European Luxury magazine as the 4 richest politician of the world after King of Saudi Arabia, Sultan of Brunei and Michael Bloomberg (his wealth is not as a result of plundering the national treasury, but from inheritance and enterprise), can afford to “mantain” legions of “dalals” from the print and electronic media; i cannot imagine that SRK can have his own set of ‘dalals”. Because, dalals just dont come too cheap. But this article proves my hunch wrong.

[Reply]

So when are they going to punish Bal Thakrey who sent goons for destroying the pitch ? looks like they only bully people who tolerate it.

[Reply]

Shahrukh may be going through mid life crisis but MCA is also not clean in this, they only bully people who tolerate it, tell me when did MCA take any action against Bal Thakrey who sent the goons for destroying the pitch ?

[Reply]

See the speed with which RSS Nazis doing propaganda against Shahrukh.

[Reply]

Shah Rukh Khan does not deserve a second chance. The trouble is that money and fame gets to the head. Unless you kick their ego down to the floor, these super heroes will not lean.

[Reply]

So what, we are nuclear power nation. We are super power. And we do not count those poor people in India.

[Reply]

It is shameful on the part of all the administrators either senior bureaucrats of politicians. The other day there was a news item in HT that in a village which is about 80 kms. from Allahabad, said to be the most prestigious constituency, the children eat MUD I repeat Mud as their food. The most disgusting was when the politicians concerned tried to justified that they eat it by choice (habit) and not otherwise as they had options to either eat “Biryani” or “Mud” and they had chosen the later. I attempted to raise my voice by writing in various papers.

The most shameful was when said to the the most intelligent economists like Montek Singh Ahluwalia was trying to justify the expenditure of few lakhs for renovation of few toilets i the office (Planning Commission) where he work from.

India will remain poor till such time each and every child is properly taken care of for reasonably good education, health facilities etc…….Please please Manmohan Singh ji break your silence….say something, do something…….

[Reply]

All of this is anti- Indian propaganda. India is a booming country and a super power.
Yes we have minor problems but they will be resolved.

[Reply]

this just shows the state of india. the most backward corrupt country in the world where they cannot even feed their own people & nobody cares

It is highly disturbing indeed, to put it extremely mildly. I suggest one should take all the top administrators and political leadership of the agriculture & finance ministries on a guided tour and show them the ground reality. and pursue the questions, firstly, of starvation and, secondly, of food storage till sweeping measures are taken to improve the situation.

Cycling is clouded by doping these days as 100 meter race was suffering from Drug offenders in 1980’s. Not only lance but every top cycling star is under doping controversy and it is not good for game as spectators will loose interest. Cycling needs a new star as federer is for tennis.

[Reply]

A point I would like to add in your observations is that we also have to take into account the audience to which most explicit sexual innuendo is targeted to. How discerning are those people to whom most popular Indian Cinema is reaching out to, how they perceive attitudes of men and of women in item numbers and which way do they react to the lyrics and the visuals of the songs you are talking about? Basically in which way does it all reflect in their behaviors in general life.

[Reply]

wow.. Sanghvi wants to be in the limelight by asking people to boycott honey singh… y?? because this so called track was an underground song back in 2003.. and not a public release..??

its just a measure of people taking their stupidity to new heights .. if you see the pettitioners profile on causes you will c she is happily posing in the recent Delhi protests with a friend.. thats how bothered she is with women emancipation…

Honey Singh is a performer.. lyrics might be atrocious.. but it came from a 20 year old at the time.. n we all know how 20 year olds behave n swear..

get a life and do something contructive Mr Sanghvi.. like taking a pro-govt stand as seems to be the official policy of the tabloid tr@sh competitor to ToI

[Reply]

Vir – you have explained why Honey must face the music..fine…but can you tell us why u should not face the music on Nira Radia calls? your brother Rahul baccha and your step mom Sonia have done nothing in last 10-15 days so you may want to talk to Nira and make a conference call with them. After all everyone knows that you are a CON-gressi

[Reply]

I’m SO glad you wrote about this, Vir. I’m with you about sexual references in popular culture. I came across the song in question some 3-4 years ago on youtube when he was still a nobody (he still is a nobody to me). I was shocked and appalled and could not believe my ears when i listened to the lyrics (they are BAD. specially if you understand the crude punjabi he uses in it). Then like 2 years ago, he became this famous punjabi rapper and all that and people went crazy on him. I was like WTH, do people not know about ‘those’ songs? How can anyone in their right mind be a ‘fan’ of his music. I refused to go to his concerts in Melbourne. And I bagged my friends who listened to his music for their bad taste. I’m SO SO SO happy that his songs’ lyrics have been brought into spotlight. I just hope he doesn’t try to cash-in on his notoriety now. Those lyrics should hound him for the rest of his life! Period.

[Reply]

How many politicians and police and their children are rapists and murderers VS you are barking at the wrong tree. What deterrence is in the streets when girls and women are humiliated daily

[Reply]

Of all the serious issues you have chosen to flag this softy issue. You are so lazy Mr columnist. leave honey Singh in peace and write something substantial to make us think. Not this fluffy drivel
There are so many logical flaws with your struggling make believe arguments. What if honey Singh says in court he did not pen lyrics? Or he says the song is not written for women but on female mannequins? He will either not end up in court or acquitted. And then what will say about the damage to the cause when this poster boy target of feminist Ire walks free respectfully. Goes back to his fans even more well known. Tera to ch00tiya katt jaayega na!

[Reply]

hw is it possible that for years he sells his videos under his names n when an FIR gets registered on his name he says that he never wrote these songs. It is like Vishal Dadlani saying he never composed the music of Om Shanti Om even though it got sold under his name.

[Reply]

Rightly said!

[Reply]

He should come out publicly and apologize for what he has done so far and promise that he will try to be a role model for all the young adults. Let him do that and I will not have issues with him; thats my personal opinion though.

[Reply]

I never had this hotel in high esteem anyway. But now I have decided to boycott it as my single small step for a better society.

[Reply]

I cant believe that Honey Singh is being made the scapegoat by a society that welcomed sunny leone as is she is the reincarnation of mother teressa.. That song is 6 years old and no one needs to take action against him now.. Its the songs like CHIKNI.. ya CHIKNI chameli, HALKAT jawani, o la la oo la laa that needs to be banned not Honey Singh alone… The feminists and men apologists who are blaming a rising star again.. Punjabi singers are just plain jealous of him .. MIka singh is singing DUNIYA MERE IS PE etc… Sunny Leone is entertaining people through Jism – 2 and you are blaming this awesome singer… I would say his songs Gabru is an awesome song.. HONEY SINGH all the way…

Mr Sanghivi can you highlight the awful TV serial PHIR SUBHA HOGI its notorious portraying woman Dev from Toronto

Dear Friend,

Before you discuss anything this intellectual says. Please have a look the following link.

http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268066

After reading this you will find that you are wasting your time, discussing about what he says. These intellectuals are paid journalist without any ethics.

And it is shame that media like HT is giving these people still space to carry on.

[Reply]

I believe you guys are wasting your time by paying attention to this paid journalist. If you do not believe me. Please have a look at bellow link.

http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268066

I am not sure if you will see my post as I believe HT is also doing censorship on post as my last post did not get published. Anyway I believe I will keep on trying as we believe in India, we have freedom of expression.

As long as people like Lalu (politics) Azhar (Cricket) and Vir, Prabhu Chawla are there in their respective fields, India can not be on right track.

[Reply]

I will not buy any Honey Singh Music nor will I even download any MP3 or music in any form of his……………..

[Reply]

I bet Honey Singh thought the same!

[Reply]

when will u finally understand that my brother u were good- now u have lost it, character above talent- thoda time lagega par samajh jaaoge

[Reply]

Still fuzzy and mumbling so that his muttering can be taken as a personal viewpoint – the fact is that India does not have a nuclear doctrine just technology demonstrators and working missiles period

[Reply]

India does not have any coordinated Nuclear Policy. It has back-fired in the case of Pakistan. Pakistan with its wholesale imported war equipment is having the upper hand in deployment. DRDO is showing off new hardware but most of them cannot be deployed with India’s poor infrastructure.

[Reply]

The logic of nuclear deterrence can be understood in terms of China.

[Reply]

Highly speculative theory
I believe if Chinese don’t end incurssion, Chinese premier’s visit this month will be a sour one, which will set deteriorating relations on steeper downward spiral.

[Reply]

But that cannot be a reason to blatently intrude India’s terretory. There are many countries superior, richer than us. That does not give them a right to challenge our soverignty.

[Reply]

People like you just criticize. When we don’t have any national pride how can we expect others to respect us? These kinds of crimes are very unfortunate and they unfortunately happen everywhere in the world. If you have a solution to the Chinese intrusion problem, please share otherwise make these kinds of comments on some other forum.

[Reply]

I LOVE IT HOW COWARD INDIANS FIND EXCUSES WHY CHINA INVADED INDIAN LAND, EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES, VERY DISGUSTING.

PURE AND SIMPLE, INDIANS AND INDIAN LEADERS ARE WEAK, COWARDS, ALWAYS BACK DOWN, CHINESE ARE EVERY DAY FINDING OUT HOW EASILY IT CAN BULLY INDIA AND INDIA PROVIDES EXCUSES TO HERSELF WHY THEY SHOULDN’T CONFRONT CHINESE AND GET RID OF THEM…… I DON’T THINK CHINESE KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS EASY…. EVEN LOT OF CITIZENS EVEN THIS WRITER FINDS EXCUSES WHY IT’S NOT HEAVY AGGRESSION..

[Reply]

Times of India, Everytime I click on Chinese incursion in Ladakh news headlines on Times of India, it takes me to this webpage, (( htt*****ww6(DOT)adspdl(DOT)com/ )). Any other news links are woking fine, only Chinese border incursion in Ladhak related news lines on Times of India. Anyone else experience this?? IS IT CHINESE HACKERS’ VIRUS?? And is Times of India aware of this??

PLEASE REPLY IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM..

[Reply]

India is suffering from too much thinking
and doing nothing.

very good analysis….India must immediately construct two helipads and move Bofors guns to the site, encircling the 40 chinese troops

[Reply]

for improving security one must look and follow bigger than self so india has look to and follow china , unlike looking at pakistan or other smallers to compare security force system and get satisfied/happy himself ediotically,

as per security force capacity system india and pakistan are at similar stage, so that means pakistans politicians and defense forces are more intelligient or more aware towards security than indians politicians or security/defence forces….

We Indians basically have guts to harm our own people within our country like people from different religion, caste, and sex, but we just do not have GUTS to confront our others outside our country, be it china, dawood, pakistan. We always give the reins to rule this country into wrong hands like sonia ji, raul ji, gujral ji, laloo ji, mulayam ji, my *** ji…etc…Until and unless we as Indians dont realize that we are Indians first and then hindus or muslims or other things, we are not going to get guts to dare these situations. Jai Hind.

[Reply]

this is really far fetched to the point of hallucination…

gawadar is close to iran not to india.. if china was looking to squeeze india then it would establish a base at karachi not almost 700 miles away from indian soil…. any geo-strategist worth his salt knows that this string of pearl thoery is a baloney..(it wouldnt hurt if you can consult maps once in a while).

chinese investment in gawadar is for three reasons

1. to cricumvent long shipping haul for oil through perilous waters of indian ocean . this port could also help western regions of china.

2. china is investing heavily in mining sector in afghanistan and gawadar is short distance from afghanistan…

(india is doing the same and developing an iranian port since investing in a pakistani port would be madness,… it would rob indian strategists of their favorite string of pearl theory…and god forbid it might even lead to greater trust and peace between the neighbors)

3 this investment would also help pakistan develop an economically backward region. (ah .. we cant have that. can we?)

nevertheless, if your objective was to raise the usual bogey of china-pakistan ganging up on india… then you dont need facts for that … any theory no matter how imaginary would work.
