TalkBack w/ Wajahat Khan & Javed Akhtar Ep31 Pt1

Ever wondered who penned the classic Indian spaghetti western "Sholay"? Or who invented Amitabh's angry young man in "Zanjeer"? What about "Don", with its new-age, seedy, underworld implications turned around mainstream Indian cinema from the naiveté of the sixties into the grit of the seventies. Or "Mr. India"; the world's largest democracy's announcement of entering the new space age? Meet Javed Akhtar, India's Urdu poet laureate, legendary film-writer, and vocal Pakistan critic. In this, perhaps one of the fieriest episodes of TalkBack recorded with Wajahat S. Khan, Javed Akhtar defends Indian secularism and takes on Pakistan's Muslim nationalism.

This bastard Javed Akhtar doesn't even know the full form RSS and he is speaking bullshit. Bastard does not even know that Veer Sawarkar spent 14 years in jail and how does this is the yardstick for anything? Chandrashekhar Azad never went to jail so was he like Muslim League. Foolish congress oriented bastard.

@bb22cc33d,Friend,It's pretty clear that your not an Indian,nor do you know much about Javed Saab,because, if u did,you won't be blindly advocating such a fictional Sarcasm about him.Javed Saab& his wife Shabana Azmi are both pretty open minded critics & express their thoughts,openly,without any fear in India.It's clear that u are blindly comparing Javed saab to an open minded critic or minority of Pakistan, who probably might have to live in fear for speaking their school of thoughts or truth.
