Aanaal - avar adikkadi 'political correctness' (PC) ngra valaikkul vendum endrey thannai sikkikkolvaar - while I eagerly await 'marudhanayagam', the trailer of the film that says a particular religion is a religion of peace is not just being PC, its downright false and sounds lame!

History has repeatedly shown that - and Kamal would know better - for reasons of political expediency, he often soft-pedals on certain ideas which have proved dangerous before and are still dangerous now - for example, he conveniently chooses not to acknowledge (at least publicly) that the kind of doctrine a group like the ISIS is following now (which btw is very conveniently ignored by many leftist intellectuals in India and elsewhere) is what many have done in the past, beginning with Qasim, Ghori, Ghazzini, Babar, Aurangzeb et al - history has repeatedly portrayed them as 'champions' when they were barbarians at the least!

in one interview, I recall Kamal calling Hitler an 'impressive' figure ! Kamal calls himself a rationalist, and Hitler was anything but rational (12 and half million wiped out because he thought they were not equal humans) - of course, it is easy to claim that perhaps its all a question of interpreting his words - no, i do think Kamal often lets loose his words without realizing what he is saying - niraiyya muranbaadugal.

in a recent interview, he claims Mughalaya money was used by the west to invest in most discoveries/inventions ! as if Mughalaya money came from Mughals' hard dedicated work - as if these guys came waving a white flag ! adhuvey suttadhu / kollai adithhadhu /sooraiyaadiyadhu dhaan - but I have rarely heard him say anything about that angle.

maybe he would act/speak differently if it were a different set of political / social circumstances, but he is as much to be blamed for creating controversies for himself when not needed.

Hey Ram was/is a classic - his passionate take on partition and Gandhi's assassination, yet portrayed factually and dispassionately, perfect cross between high-class drama and well-researched documentary - yet, there have been many complaints abt how ppl from a certain community were portrayed negatively in the beginning of the film leading to the riot scenes, while the same complainants took refuge in the fact that Gandhi's assassin was from the other community ! For sure, Kamal would have seen these reactions/responses and yet he chooses to be PC probably out of a survival instinct.

Post 2G scam, why would he publicly praise a man obviously involved in more than one scams, in a public function ? would he not have known that the very man he praised was one of the kingpins in recent scams ? its puzzling why someone who is obviously very smart - act like someone who is not !

As it is - it is very difficult for anyone to be a Kamal Hassan in the Indian movie industry - only as an artiste!

so, why does he make things even more difficult by jumping deep into cesspools when it is not required ?

I disagree that Dr. Swamy is a fundamentalist - he has taken stance against Indira Gandhi during Emergency, against anyone who crosses the line, very experienced and knowledgeable abt constitutional law, history etc - we need more like him. The very fact that he is against film/movie personalities coming into politics in TN makes him special.
