Post 9/11 the West began looking at every brown colored human with suspicion. Every Indian, Pakistani... rather every Asian looked to them as a Osama associate. The film encouraged me to voice my opinion on the same. 1200 foreign nationals were detained (almost illegally in the US) for very many months...tortured to almost madness. Many of them were let off after a few months, only after having ' No Concrete Evidence'. Innocent people were detained on grounds of suspicion just due to the colour of their skin or the religion that they belong to. No one is born a terrorist (neither was Osama), circumstances drive them to the helpless path. Terrorists in Pakistan are shown videos of Pravin Tagodia , Narendra Modi just to incite them against the so called "Hindustan". Infact Osama had received his military training in the US. He nearly took the same nation by rampage on 9/11. His Jehad has made the people of his very faith to feel the humiliation everywhere in the world. People are branded Terrorist for being born in a certain country or following a certain faith. We keep talking of the world becoming a Global Village.. but in reality it is enormously far from it. As civilization is progressing, Man is classifying (mainly dividing) himself on many parameters - Nationality, Religion, Colour ... and the list is endless. Technology and comfort wise Man is progressing but regressing in terms of basic Human Ethos.
