پریانکا چوپڑا کو ہندوستان کے مسلمانوں کی پرواہ نہیں ہے
منیسوٹاس (امریکہ) کا ایک شہر ، منیاپولس ، اپنی اسکائی ہائی آفس عمارتوں اور رات کی زندگی کے لئے مشہور ہے۔ تاہم ، حال ہی میں مقامی پولیس کے ہاتھوں ایک سیاہ فام شخص کے قتل کی وجہ سے ، شہر انتشار کا خواب بن گیا ہے۔
اور صرف یہی نہیں ، امریکہ کئی بڑی ریاستوں میں ہنگاموں اور مظاہروں کے ساتھ ایک جنگی زون میں تبدیل ہوگیا ہے۔
امریکہ میں مقیم افریقی امریکیوں کے خلاف پولیس کی بربریت انتہائی عام ہے۔ یہ امتیازی سلوک 1492 کا ہے جب امریکہ میں مقیم کالے لوگوں کی اکثریت غلام کے طور پر رکھی گئی تھی۔ تاہم ، یہ صرف 1865 میں ہی امریکی آئین میں 13 ویں ترمیم کے ساتھ ہی غلامی کا خاتمہ ہوا۔
اگرچہ غلامی ختم ہوگئی ، افریقی امریکیوں کے خلاف نسل پرستی نے عمل نہیں کیا اور اس کے نتیجے میں معاشروں میں تقسیم ہوگئی۔ ہر سال ایک خاص نسل کے خلاف پولیس کی امتیازی اور وحشیانہ کارروائیوں کے خلاف فسادات ہوتے ہیں۔
جارج فلائیڈ کی گردن سے نیچے گھٹنے ٹیکنے والے ایک پولیس افسر کی فوٹیج جب تک کہ وہ آخری سانس نہیں لے رہا تھا سوشل میڈیا پر شیئر کیا گیا۔ تباہ کن غیر انسانی سلوک کے اس مظاہرے نے مختلف پس منظر اور ثقافتوں کے لوگوں کو اکٹھا کیا۔ انہوں نے کہا ، کافی ہوچکا ہے۔
Minneapolis, a city in Minnesota (USA), is known for its sky-high office buildings and lively nightlife. However, due to the recent murder of a black man by local police, the city has turned into a chaotic nightmare.
And not only that, America has developed into a war zone with unrest and protests in many large states.
Police brutality is common in African Americans living in the United States. This discrimination dates back to 1492, when the majority of blacks living in America were held as slaves. However, slavery did not end until 1865 with the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Although slavery ended, racism against African Americans did not, which in turn divided societies. Every year there is unrest against the discriminatory and brutal acts of the police against a certain race.
The incident that started it all
This year it was the death of a 46-year-old unarmed man, George Floyd, that caused waves of outrage in the United States. People in many different cities take to the streets to demand justice for the deceased.
Footage of a policeman kneeling on George Floyd’s neck until his last breath was shared on social media. This depiction of devastating inhuman behavior brought people from different backgrounds and cultures together. Enough is enough, they said.
Trigger Warning: The incident that started it all, this video is not for the faint of heart. You can continue with the rest of the post.
Bollywood Stars shed crocodile tears
When protests broke out in America and even around the world, many celebrities commented on the subject and expressed their disbelief. These celebrities included Bollywood stars Priyanka Chopra, Tiger Shroff and Kareena Kapoor, who condemned racism against African Americans.
In an image posted on her Instagram account, Priyanka explained:
There is so much work to be done and it needs to starts at an individual level on a global scale. We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves and end this hate.
End this race war here in the US, and around the world. Wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, NO ONE deserves to die, especially at the hands of another because of their skin color.
A number of people could not help but notice the hypocrisy that these Bollywood stars possess. They couldn’t help but point out a burning problem in the Indian backyard. Indian Muslims are killed and abused daily in India, but the same celebrities remain silent on the matter.
As an Instagram user emphasized:
Remember the time when you cheered for war? People deserved to die then? Remember the time you invited a genocider to your marriage reception because thats how the desi girl rolls right? Remember the time you appropriated northeast identity? It’s not racism when “global star” Priyanka Chopra does it.
Or do you remember the time Delhi police was engaging in police brutality against students in the capital of our country and you kept quite because Hollywood brown girl only speaks about police brutality in the west. Oh oh oh remember now? Now now… When the Indian state is arresting activitists and students for dissenting amidst the pandamic. You remember? A lot of work needs to be done indeed.
People can’t help but express their feelings about the deceptions of Bollywood celebrities on social media.
