I saw this film MNIK recently and I liked the part were SRKs mom draws 2 stick figures ,one holding a stick menacingly and the other offering a sweet.After doing so , she asks a young SRK to find out which religion they belong to and explains that its about good or bad people rather than religion or caste.Its quite straightforward but yet difficult to accept .Taking this forward .
"If there is one thing people like more than heroes , is to bring the hero down ."from Hercules.Many people that I know ,do not like Gandhi .People cite the reason that India wouldnt have split and he favoured certain factions ,personal agendas etc .All those stuff might or maybe true .What we have forgotten though ,that he has done certain things that normal mortals wouldnt dream to do .Having said that , he is still human and just because he has done some outstanding things,doesnt mean he is god . .We are not able to accept that even good people are entiled to do wrong actions .The other way round is when people badged bad ,tend to get blamed even if they do something good .
On a very personal level, this happens among friends and family .Quite often, best friends turn into deadly enemies ,in a moment of madnes from either or both of them ,forgeting all the good that they enjoyed to gether .Its not that we accept everything ,even if its wrong .Its just that we need to be aware,that after all we are human.And To err is human , but it sometimes feels divine :)
