In the demonstration of tolerance, there was chest- thumping, name-calling, and slogans of beating ‘fraud’ historians and ‘presstitues’ by participants. Kher has painted those who have spoken against the government as conspirators of some grand scheme to defame the country. And yet, hypocritically, when Shah Rukh Khan said something not very different, he claims the superstar is a national icon. Of course, it is easier to go against less powerful writers.
