Food for thought

Hi Friends

I have been following a news related to the controversy that is created by the statement of great Mr. Khan regarding the participation of Pakistani players in IPL. Mr. Baal Thakrey immediately started criticizing him & threaten him that he will not let his awaited movie ' My Name is Khan' to be released. Our great Maharashtra government came in action & provided him with the police protection. Finally My Name is Khan was released peacefully and as expected the shows were houseful. A lot of discussions were held over the issue & the whole issue became the most popular daily soap for our news channels. A lot of intellectuals came forward to oppose Mr. Thakrey. I recently heard an actress saying that this is a threat to democracy. I completely agree with her but at the same time I also want to ask a question that
why democracy is limited to a certain section of the society?
Few Days back a statement came in news that all the taxi drivers in Mumbai must learn marathi to continue driving taxis in Mumbai. Further to their pain there came a news that showed a statement that if you are not a marathi, you have no right to be a taxi driver.
You all must be knowing what I have written but the reason behind writing this is not to just let you know about the latest happenings. The reason why I have written this is that I want to ask some questions from you, from myself and all the responsible citizens of this great country that why eyebrows are not raised? Why questions are not asked? Why all those intellectuals and celebrities who came forward to support Mr. Khan don't come forward to support hundreds of taxi drivers who earn their living in Mumbai by driving taxi?
Why do we give utmost importance to the nonsense statements passed by so called celebrities and melodrama created by that?
Why do we always need an iconic figure to make us realize that democracy is being threatened?

And if this wasn't enough we try to show our power by going around Mumbai In local trains with a lot of security guards around and think that we have saved democracy.

Please guys think and try to answer my innocent queries:
You might think that I have a weakness of thinking a lot but isn't it the only thing that differentiates human beings from animals?
