I think Adnan is a dammn good singer but has no market in Pakistan to prosper. That explains why most of thier artists head to India. I think it deals directly with a poor economy like Pakistan with such high Inflation levels, people have precious little to go shopping for cd’s and concerts. Add to that the religious polarisation where mullahs make diktats ordering people what to see, what to hear.

The elite few don’t make a difference to the economy. The policy makers don’t have a strategy. The Army seem to be at the helm of affairs all the time to destablise the nation. A country which spends 45% of its budget on defence. Like Madeline Albright (former secretary of America) said Pakistan is a migraine of the world, they have an uncertain democracy, they have religious fanatics, and they got nuclear weapons.

I think all Pakistani artist should be banned in all its manifestations. Having said that i got nothing against them but its thier government and army who seem to have only one agenda”Bleed India”.

Leave aside Adnan Sami , If Jagjit sahib criticize him on professional bases then its ok, he has the right.

BUT these remarks from hi, hurt me as his fan, really hurt.

After the terrorist attack in Bombay, how should Bollywood treat Pakistani singers since the terrorists were trained across the border?

Bollywood should ban them. That’s all. It is as simple as washing your hands after using the toilet. India should ban or cut all relationships with Pakistan as soon as possible. Some Pakistanis come with weapons comes to India on one hand, to earn money and fame and on the other hand with In hand with weapons and some of them come to make money and become famous. Ek taraf zakham dete hai, dusri ore marham lagate hai. They come to India earn money and don’t even pay tax to our country. Then what’s the point of giving them a platform here?

But Pakistani singers are said to be very good.

Hahaha! I should tell you that shouting loudly does not make anyone a singer. Every one is not Mehendi Hasanji. There is another very popular singer whose name I can’t remember figure if it is girl or a guy singing. There are so many good singers in India so why bring them from Pakistan? Getting ‘imported product’ is the fashion in India, because singing talent from Pakistan is imported. No need to give them a place to stay or chance to stay because they don’t even pay taxes. India is calling people from Pakistan that’s why they are killing us. History stands testimony to the fact that of Indians welcomed the British to India and then they ruled us for 200 years. So why are you allowing any Pakistanis to enter India? Government should strictly end all relations with Pakistan and Bollywood should boycott Pakistani artists.

Hi Khokhar,
This singer jagjit singh has lost his market after his first casette. “unforgettables”.Now by putting down everyone , he wants to get into limelight by creating controversy.He has his views. But anyday i will buy Adnan sami especially his song”lift karde’ will ever remian in hindi pop. His other views about Pakistani singers is similar to our banning the cricket matches. the logic is same.There are others who are good at telling jokes and are in our TV channel.There is this view point that Pakistan wants to earn money from India without giving anything in reciprocity especially friendship.This Mumbai attack is actually carried out by D company to blackmail our Big business cats. Now they feel war may be better option than paying the blackmailers whose appetite is whettted.
It is ordinary pakistanies and Indian who will suffer.

Sino,

‘Love’ emanates from the fountain of truth only and ‘Hatred’ stands there as its adversary.

@ A Khokar

“Love for all, Hatred for None”

Reading all your diatribe here in conjunction with your slogan makes me smile. I am reminded of an old chest nut: The difference between theory and practice is a lot bigger in practice than in theory.

Aftab S Alam,

This is matter of pure India and Pakistan relations only. There are much more Muslims living in India than Pakistan; so Muslim Ummah business doe not cut any marks here. Such interview only show the deep seated hatred which is found rippling as under current next door toward Pakistan and keeps on surfacing now and then. That we should be aware of.

Jagjit is not politician and when it comes out from the mouth of an artist of such a stature that should be the matter of our concern.

I think everyone is entitled to their opinions - regardless of race, caste, creed, color or geographical boundaries. I do not see any hate-speech here.
