Intolerance and tolerance were the most powerful words for quite sometime few days back in India. They had their best influence on many scholars, celebrities, movie stars, politicians and even social networks. Now that heat has gone down, universal star Kamal haasan spoke the most sensible and genuine words about intolerance that shook the country.
Kamal Haasan refused to give away his award when many scholars and veteran film stars gave away their prestigious awards in protest against intolerance. Here he justifies his acts and words then. The superstar says, India has lost two hands in the form of Pakistan and Bangladesh long ago and its our duty to keep the remaining part of nation united and stable.
Kamal stresses that there needs no tolerance against each other, but it is acceptance that unites people regardless of religion and culture. While speaking at a seminar for Indian students at Harvard university, Kamal opined that our country is a sweater made of three colors and no one can ever separate the green thread from it.
The versatile actor concludes that he is against the word ‘tolerant’ and asks why one should be tolerant towards Muslims or Hindus. Just accept them as our fellow human beings and only there the progress of country lies in. In his arresting speech, Kamal enlightened the students on many aspects like freedom of speech, constitution, democracy, religion, freedom and education.
