Birthday Bhakti, Manipur Silence: When Celebrities Choose Power Over People
From Shah Rukh Khan to alia bhatt, from mukesh ambani to ajay Devgn—India’s biggest celebrities lined up to release videos showering birthday wishes on narendra Modi. But when it came to speaking up for the daughters of Manipur, their voices vanished. Not one. Not a single clip. Just silence. Here’s why it’s a national disgrace:
1. The Birthday Video Parade
Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, ajay Devgn, alia bhatt, Mohd Siraj, mukesh ambani, Kris Srikanth, and uday Kotak—all queued up with polished videos to wish the PM. A spectacle of loyalty packaged as PR.
2. The Manipur Error: 420, Not Found
When women were paraded naked, brutalized, and humiliated in Manipur, these same stars who preach “change” and “justice” went missing. No videos. No statements. No outrage. Just calculated silence.
3. Selective Voices, Selective Courage
Celebrities find their voices when it benefits them—be it politics, business ties, or maintaining access to power. But when it comes to speaking truth to power, courage mysteriously evaporates.
4. The Power of Influence—Squandered
These stars command millions of followers. A single statement could have amplified national outrage. Instead, they chose to stay complicit, prioritizing careers and contracts over conscience.
5. Birthday Bhakti Over Human Tragedy
This is the contrast: crores of people suffering in silence in Manipur vs. crores of views on Modi’s birthday wishes. What matters more to our celebrities is clear—and it’s shameful.
6. Are They Agents of Change or PR Puppets?
It’s time we asked: are these stars truly the champions of social change they market themselves to be? Or are they just opportunists, serving whoever holds the reins of power?
🔥 Bottom Line: Our celebrities can record videos at lightning speed for a politician’s birthday, but go mute when women are stripped of their dignity in Manipur. That isn’t just hypocrisy—it’s betrayal.
