    we must donate first before making so many queries. Amirkhan is doing the right work, creating awareness. First he did with generic medicines which opened the eyes of karnataka government and encouraged generic medicines

    The entire world is in crisis. Many people in India, have taken peace for granted. There were issues even in pre-historic times. People fought generally on issues with each other. Like caste, language, territory, hostility and justice. Today, people fight for political superiority. Every fight, that fought for political superiority with unjust reason, always brought misery. We are in such a phase. Hitler, Taliban, LTTE etc., are all part of the same drama. End of the day, somebody has to pay a dear price. Today, visual and social media spreading false stories. At one point of time, they are all going to come back and haunt. Whether it is this generation or the coming generation, but someone will have to pay a price for being untrue and unjust. That is history and that is future. Mother nature knows how to readjust itself, better than any of us.

    Does Amir Khan acts in this show for free? In such shows, they must make an announcement in the beginning if he is doing it as a professional. Many gullible people may believe that he does it for free for a social cause.

    There are many people spreading false messages thru social networking sites and spoiling the harmony of the community.. It is really important to not blindly forwarding messages without knowing the reality. Be smart n stop forwarding if you think the message is not genuine and will disrupt the peace among people of a particular religion, caste, creed, state or any human being.
