Countless misfortune incidents are taking place in India and around the world in 2020. Before the previous one ends the other already starts. That’s 2020 for everyone. India too has gone through and going through all of it.

Overlooking Indian issues, Indian celebrities voiced their support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which has shaken the US. However, there is nothing wrong with it. But, not overlooking the countries issues. Indian stars stand in solitary with the movement while ignoring injustice in India.

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. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ On May 25th, George Floyd was pinned down by the neck by a Minneapolis police officer and died. He laid there, fighting for his life, struggling to breathe, and other officers just stood there and watched. The officer has now been charged with murder.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ George, I am praying for your family. ❤️ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Text “FLOYD” to 55156 and sign the petition. ⁣⁣⁣ #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

There have been so much happening around the country and actor Abhay Deol through an Instagram post blasted all the Indian celebrities for overlooking the country’s issue. He wrote “Migrant lives matter, poor lives matter, minority lives matter.”

No one will forget, what all migrant workers faced in Lockdown. Leave a few celebrities aside, none came forward. The below post is a strong message and also an alarm that must act as a wake-up call to everyone.

Maybe it’s time for these now? Now that “woke” indian celebrities and the middle class stand in solidarity with fighting systemic racism in America, perhaps they’d see how it manifests in their own backyard? America has exported violence to the world, they have made it a more dangerous place, it was but inevitable that it would come back karmically. I’m not saying they deserve it, I’m saying look at the picture in it’s totality. I’m saying support them by calling out the systemic problems in your own country, because they turn out to be one and the same thing. I’m saying follow their lead but not their actions. Create your own actions, your own movement, relevant to your own country. That is what the black lives matter movement is all about! In the larger picture, there is no “us” and “them”. There is not a country that’s real. But a planet in peril. #migrantlivesmatter #minoritylivesmatter #poorlivesmatter Black Lives Matter (find out why not to use the hashtag and still support the movement).

Palghar Sadhu lynching is another incident that happened in Mumbai. None of the stars said a word on the cruel incident. While talking to Pinkvilla Ranaut said:

“The Sadhu lynching happened a couple of weeks ago; still no one said a word. It happened in Maharashtra where most of these celebrities reside…Bollywood anyway is a derived name from Hollywood.”
