The money made by Pakistani artists in India is taxed by Pakistani government to finance terrorism and murder of Indian jawans and civilians. Those who help them earn crores have blood of Indians on their hands. Those who support their entry into India, are unwittingly (or knowingly !) financing Pakistan's policy of bleeding India by a thousand cuts.

Now, I don't expect these Indian "artists" to pick up guns and invade Pakistan. But is it too much to expect that they show some empathy with victims of Pakistani terrorism by boycotting Pakistanis till that country takes some actions against warmongers like Masood Azhar, Syed Salahuddin and Hafeez Saeed ? Of course, Pakisan may find other sources to finance its insidious acts, but is it too much to expect that these "Indian artists" make financing harder rather than easier ?

  1. You buy a few American and / or Chinese Goods.

  2. Both countries provide aid Pakistan.

  3. Pakistan spends money on Terrorism.

  4. You are funding terrorism.

Corollary: more than a 100 million Indians are funding terrorism.

EDIT: typo

lol am I really supposed to debate that garbage? Is that even supposed to be taken seriously?

No sir only liberal seculars are sane and need to be taken seriously. All other view points are garbage, idiotic, bigoted, narrow, jingoistic and communal.

No not at all. All points of view, conservative, right wing, left, liberal- all are important in a democracy.

But blatantly idiotic, bigoted, narrow, jingoistic and communal points ARE idiotic, bigoted, narrow, jingoistic and communal-- doesn't matter if left, right, liberal conservative whatever.

well..look up the definitions? You have google, search for Jingoism, narrow, bigoted. If you still don't understand, I will elaborate on my opinions (which for some reasons you care deeply about, when there are so many discussions already down there in the comments).

Indian movies also run in Pakistan's cinemas. For example, Chennai Express is a superhit in Pakistan, and earning crores of rupees for some Indians. Source: http://www.dawn.com/news/1035477/chennai-express-rocks-karachi-box-office

And some of the tax from this money will go towards financing the Indian army and our fight against terrorism. So, we benefit too.

Recently their censor board which is supposedly made of artists banned one film for one stupid reason: a Muslim girl cannot marry Hindu boy.

How much is the earning considering the fact that they have hardly a handful theatres to screen the movies. The movies are mostly pirated. Hindi movies if I am not wrong earn most by selling

Overseas rights to countries with huge or significant Indian diaspora.

Music rights to channels and labels

Distribution and telecast rights to satellite channels

Movie screenings in India.

You could be right, but I think the earnings would still be significant.

[–]durachari 0 ポイント1 ポイント

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No the earnings are minuscule compared to what they earn in India and elsewhere. According to Tribune.pk dabangg earned 8 crores, race2 earned 6 crores, don2 earned 8 crores, all figures in paki currency.

These amounts barely means anything to the bollywood banners.

If these amounts were not meaningful to the Bollywood banners, they wouldn't bother working with distributors in Pakistan.

Since they do make the effort, I guess the money does matter to them.

[–]durachari -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Compare their earnings in India and elsewhere and you will see that it is not in any way significant. The logistics of maintaining distribution channels in a country like Pakistan when the remuneration is not proportional does not make sense.

Also Pakistan is the place where the pirated master print for most Hindi movies originate. So not only are the film industry not making much money out of them they are also exposed to instant piracy. Any industry will be deeply averse to this situation but curiously bollywood isn't.

If these artists support terrorism, I would support your point of view, but these people are most probably against Talibanis and Islamists. If they come here and support Pakistan's Kashmir policy, I will support your point of view, but that is just not the case. If they are treated well in India, they will go back to Pakistan and be brand ambassadors for India and a Veena Malik or a Rahat Fatah Ali Khan is only going to undermine the Islamist case in Pureland.

Now if you were talking about the like of Pakistani cricketers, I will tend to agree with you. But artists is a whole different story..

Can you please explain the reason behind this? If artists can be brand ambassadors, surely cricketers can be too? What is different in this case?

[–]chandiPrasadBoomBoom 5 ポイント6 ポイント

They are uneducated louts. Artists are a lot more sophisticated and usually have more delicate sensibilities. Cricket is a lot more "Gladiatorial" and there is a lot less room for sensible people. Hence you get "Bhadwe ki nasal", "Hinduo ka dil chota hota hai".. spouting Afridi and some other nobody talking about "Hinduon ki Jehaniyat".

Ahl e Hadith has made deep inroads into the Pakistani cricket team. Imran Khan started the craziness with the Sajda on cricket ground after winning, Inzy and Saeed Anwar one upped it with their Ahl e Hadith idiocy/proselyitization and now, its difficult to know who is a crazy and who is sensible. For someone sensible, an Akram or a Raza, I guess its OK. But the current crop is full of idiots.

What about paki singers, actors and various other jokers? How can the film industry fucks be friendly with them when they are killing our citizens. I know the paki artists are not the ones doing it. But our film industry has significant influence and are like the unofficial ambassadors of our culture. And they should act the part. We do not have a dearth of talent here, than why call morons from across the border.
