One would be surprised for me saying "I don't find anything surprising or protesting for holding up Shah Rukh Khan for secondary inspection (which itself does not constitute detention) at Newark Airport for 2 hours for, may be, his last name happens to be Muslim name as is projected".
This is more because till date Saudi Arabian authorities continuously harass Indian Hindus. Persons with Hindu names are not only grilled but quarantined for hours without even conducting inquires or inspections or like wise. I was one of the victim of their barbarian attitude on my first visit despite me possessing all legal documents. Every one including Indian Muslims and Indian Embassy knows about such things happening in Saudi Arabia for Indian Hindus but none protest nor takes up with Saudi Arabian authorities. More over what outcome emerged when India protested with US authorities for conducting body search on our most respected Ex-President Dr. Abdul Kalam? Despite this, why should India government interfere with the incidence of taking SRK for secondary inspection? If Indian government has guts show it by conducting equally stringent body search and inspections of US top nationals visiting India under pretext of possible threats to India after 26/11 Mumbai incidence! By doing this India can indirectly build-up/mount pressure on US without even raising any protest and yet yield required results. But does India have spine to do this? I bet NO!!!!!!!!!!!
