It’s been an eventful week. FIFA football fever, fire threats to celebrities and fashion gaffes, have ruled. 

Bollywood has for a while now been the target of some seriously vile behaviour from several quarters, our very own Shah Rukh Khan, makes a list of 50 best actors in an international magazine, while back home, some seer somewhere wants to set him on fire. Other godmen want to burn the theatres his film is set to release in, and ministers who should be working quietly, focussing on development, demand his destruction, looking for their five moments of fame. The disrespect for one of India’s most celebrated citizens, shows how low we have reached on the totem pole of decency and good breeding. These are meant to be men of peace, men of holiness, men of Godliness, we have become a nation of toxic emptiness, a country of vile men.
