Aamir Khan’s Open Letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi

An open letter signed by Aamir Khan was sent to the Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi.

There are moments in history that become turning points. In our view, 2015 will be such a moment. It is the most important year for global decision-making since the start of the new millennium. We believe it’s just possible that we could end 2015 with a new global compact – an agreed pathway to a better, safer future for people and planet that will inspire all the citizens of the world. We can choose the path of sustainable development. Or we might not – and regret it for generations to come. Which side of history will you be on?

There are millions of voices you can’t afford to ignore – the voices of the people you represent. They are voices of all ages from every corner of the planet – the voice of a young girl currently deprived an education… of a pregnant mother deprived healthcare… of young people deprived decent work… of a family from a minority group fearful of discrimination from corrupt officials… of farmers forced to migrate to cities as climate refugees… and of billions of other people. Their voices will roar ever louder against the inequality and injustice that keep people poor. They – and all who stand with them – are calling on you to come up with a grand new global contract for our one human family – and then deliver on it together. The great news is that in 2015 you have a historic chance to do just that.

Two critical United Nations summits will take place this year. The first in September, where the world must agree new goals to eradicate extreme poverty, tackle inequality and ensure a more sustainable planet. The second is the climate summit in December where we must ensure the wellbeing of people today doesn’t come at the expense of our children’s futures.

Together with critical discussions on financing, these opportunities are the biggest of our lifetime. We know from past efforts against AIDS, malaria, preventable diseases and saving the ozone layer that when we come together, so much can be achieved. Yet, with just months to go before these summits, few leaders are playing the leadership roles we need. We see climate progress but not yet of the scale that is needed, and a set of goals that are hugely ambitious but will be meaningless without brave financing and implementation agreements led from the very top.

If this does not change, we fear you and your fellow leaders could be sleep-walking the world towards one of the greatest failures of recent history. It’s not too late to rise to the occasion. We’re asking you to help lead that change.

Let’s be clear: the actions we take in 2015 will decide which way the world turns for decades to come. Please take the right path.

  • People here are saying, Muslims can’t think good about india. Okay guys what do you have to say about our ex-President, Dr. Kalam?

    @Tiger

    I think a lot of comments are from fake ids.

    @shail007

    Peace. No more discussion on Pk.

    @illogicalman

    Idiot. Who told you I take lessons from Madrassah. For your knowledge I read Bhagvad Gita everyday. And Gita never says bad about any religion. I follow Bhagvad Gita, you keep following Bajrang Dal!

  • @indicine

    that’s a great thing but people here are passing nasty comments about islam. @logical man said Khans are morons. I am afraid soon somebody will make nasty remarks on Hinduism as a counter response. I really dont want that to happen. Thanks!

  • @babaji

    Hardly 10 min a day. Its been 6 months since I have started that. I read a sanskrit verse and its english translation. OMG inspired me!

  • @sky,wow allegations on KING KHAN?what can we expect from an insecure KING SRK haters like you????what you know about KING KHAN? HE is the son of a FREEDOM FIGHTER who fought for the freedom of India.KING KHAN didn’t said that serious as I’m feeling insecure in India that doesn’t mean HE said HE is feeling secure in Pakistan you Prate.when the Pakistani leader invited KING KHAN to Pakistan after listening HIS statement,after that KING SRK made everything clear after and gave him a right slap.HE clarifies in front of press conference how much HE love HIS COUNTRY —-INDIA.HE is pride of our country awarded the great global Indian living legend from president .then how could you dare to have doubt on HIS patriotism?peoples like are you exceeded the level of stupidness can’t understand the meaning of different movies.VZ is showing LOVE knows no bounds and boundary.HE respect HIS love being an Indian and being sacrificed for HIS love irrespective of the country.that is a proudness to India and you are doubting patriotism associated with it.shame on you.even MHN also associated with such things,when a Indian soldier suniel aka raghav tries to revenge of his son in the name of patriotism by taking innocent people’s life.that’s why he got punished you are blindly and unnecessary trying to prove everyone wrong ,because you are hopeless and couldn’t bear the TRUTH as amir is a traitor.

    @amir/salman fans,We have no problem with Muslims.we have problem with amir khan as well peoples like raju hirani who can be sold at any price to get good office collection as amir is well known for interfering and changing of scripts .even @indicine also posted one article as amir edited pk completely.I mean these people’s are not also different from those dhongi babas who are earning moneys by taking BHAGWAN’S NAME.you must be in a doubt that WE got jeous of raju-amir’s success that’s why bashed them,but it could have the problem then people might have also bash 3i which got even bigger success than pk at that time.the reason is there in front of eyes ,they only targeted HINDU RELEGION while they should have do this with other RELEGION also.I don’t have a bit respect for such classless peoples.but after that also they didn’t feel any shame!alas!!!!!!!

  • @gj007

    here is ur answer, & this is my last on this topic.
    i m not against muslims or amir(before PK). I don’t mean that PK only biased hindus not muslims. He biased muslims also in a sense. He has raised some good questions on blind faith & baba. I said, he has insult hindu gods in 2-3 sceens, which should be cut by amir, hirani or censor board. If not He should do with muslims allah also. He should go and remove chadar from DARGAAH in anger, because what it does need?? Does allah suffering from fever or have caught cold?? He should give that chadar to beggar as they suffer from cold.

    As i know he has gone to MUKKAH AND MADINAH to bend to his god. Then why to say this about hindus.As india has 85% hindus so start insulting hindu gods??

    I have wrote much about PK.Not again

    OMG > Actually i m against of donating money in temples, against of pundits. As i m also pundit but know how they use those money for themself.
    Actually in OMG it is shown that how it is going to be a business in temples. Also pundits starts making temple everywhere for increase this business.Thats why he has say it as a STALL. He has said he donated money in ganpati stall, not in the dolls stall. Here comes the role of baba who takes money in the name of god.

    Also about gangajal as wine. People pollute gangajal so much that i can’t explain. People use to go in the morning near bank of ganga and wash their *** If they can do such thing than whats big deal in calling it as wine. Again there is a difference between gangajal and GOD, this u can’t understand.

    Ok if paresh has said gangajal as a wine and amir as a doll to God, so start playing with dolls, throw dolls here and there as u can do such things with gangajal as it flows in north india as a normal river.

    But can u do such things with sculpture of god as amir does or do u want???

    Now its over for me on this topic. I can’t make u to understand my words, so i don’t want to waste my energy on this topic again. Go n follow amir on twitter. By the way APJ ABDUL KALAM is a man from whom i inspired is a MUSLIM.

  • @gj,
    the worst thing is @indicine posting the bullshits of @vikas @shekhar @logical man but when i reply them @indicine don’t post them…

  • So much nonsense is going here and I don’t bother even read the comments of those restarted people.
    @shail007 no bro,I don’t agree with you because I trust the people who behind the making of this film,none of them even Aamir including bother too much of money making,yes some thing about Hindu god can be avoided but I feel if you are making a movie on good purpose than one should not care for being harsh.The main reason of film making if being relevant to social issues whether it being appreciate or being criticise.But most important it should be discussed.I must say PK able to do that.
    Other thing I found the movie anti religion not anti Hindu,Almost every one around me who watched that film are Hindu and every one loved the film and no one feel offended.And they are the people who are believers, doing worship too.You have your opinion but I have mine,you criticise but I appreciate that film and will also do any movie like omg,pk if they are well made and have a heart at right place.

    @sss complan kid yes I bring srk name as I know how many srk fans saying bulshit against Aamir,even you too.And that comment I took Salman name too who is my second fav actor.I respect my opinion and know what i wrote and why.You should mind your own business if you not able to ubderstand what i said.And yes i will always post against srk if tlhis fans come to insult Aamir.

  • Aamir Khan needs to be lauded for utilizing his star status for society’s well being.

    However, dont remember him writing a letter to any PM, when Congress was ruling

  • @kelpha what was wrong when he wrote to PM,don’t forget Aamir was with Modi on 2nd Oct when Swacha Bharat Campaign started by modi.Its good that people had hopes from modi as if we had no hope from someone,we won’t bother from them to ask anything.Get the point.
    Its looking very bad for me when intellectuals people who had not done anything good in their lives questioning or I say ordering Aamir that what to do or what’s not.Some saying focus on movies, some saying Modi Is well known about these issues,some saying he is traitor or Pakistani etc.
    He did social based films like rdb,tzp,pk,3i,peepli live.He doing Satyamev Jayaye,always stand as social activist and some motond still unsatisfied.How great hypocryte they are.

  • first of all my reply to the comment of khan, are u a khan, or an rss khan, or vhp khan or a bajrang dal khan, be specific first of all, 2ndly atleast amir is doing or writing something, for 650 million idiots in this country which includes me, what is an indian worried today about nothing? just selfish, cant take brave steps, nor does he try to stand and do anything brave, so at least something he is doing, when will this country produce something which think about its country its people change the thinking of the people, educate the people on several things, or will it be the same as it is going on for years now,police sell themselves for 10 rupees, government officers do not work without bribe, politicians can do whatever they want and escape jail, (laloo Prasad yadav, jaya lalitha) what about common man, and now a new joke going on in the country, attacking the minority community and their properties, its like modi saying don’t worry I am in power do whatever you want to (rss,vhp,bajrang dal, hindu mahasabha group) I will keep quiet if questioned and if required we will send show cause notice and people will forget about that, and today a new joke suddenly they nominate kiran bedi as cm, are they doing good governance or are they power hungry or something big happening maybe thinking about dictatorship, to all my indian brothers and sisters, I urge you before you vote, before you follow something, please think from your mind as well as your heart, our current pm thinks only about Gujarat,while he is the whole countrys pm, he is planning for bullet trains, while we require good government managed schools, hospitals, parks, and a good atmosphere in this coutry, which has people of various faiths.

  • @sky

    Ignore them. Most of them are ranting for no reason. I bet they dont even know the fact that Aamir has “signed” the letter, he hasnt written it himself. As a socially conscious star, he is awesome. I really respect him for that.

    They also say about Aamir and 4 crore for SMJ. Seriously, when BigB can charge for kbc why cant aamir? That whole argument is baseless. First off, a bulk of that movie goes into research and production because he is himself the producer. Secondly, they donate a huge sum to a trust after every episode. They have raised awareness about TB, homophobia and rape. I brag about how aware I am, but to be honest I had no idea how dangerous TB is. Haters gonna hate. Aamir is least bothered about these jokers. He does his work in a way that these clowns cant ignore him!

  • Respected Dear PM

    Unlike Aamir, please accept letter from every citizen of India who have voted for a corruption free India.

    Aamir has not mentioned about ever rising POPULATION OF INDIA.
    We , the today’s Indian seriously ask for population control. We know that population explosion is the core of every economic problem of a nation. Numerous problem are getting worse like Shortage of places at school, college, hospital, jobs, parking space, quality food, water, housing, gardens, garbage dump areas, clean air, trees in town,,,,,,,,,,,,,, bad developments are extra population goes for crime, fraud, illegal business, hawkers, lower Per Capita income, bad social values, terror attraction,

  • 60 years of the Republic of India for 60 years have not solved the problem of hunger and so on …
    Aamir Khan took to solve these problems? Why are Indians so naive?
    It’s blatant PR campaign for Aamir Khan … Disgusting that
      PR is on the most painful problem of the country

  • @krish,doing something is far better than writing on a white paper like a jobless. 1st ttel me when HE gave charity ?what kind of help he did to poors besides show their suffering to whole world through a show smj.is that show is so great?that you are showing the sufferings of poor people and to the whole world.only thing they will get is laughing.because our perfaketionist himself couldn’t help a poor still yye besides talking about their suffering life.we don’t want to listen their suffering,if you’re so much aware of those poors then kindlly give them something from the earning 4cr that you’re charging for each episode or give something that you get from pk,if you’re so much worried?or at least give 20+ cr like KING SRK in a honest way or give 10cr like being human charity for publicity.but why you’re showing this crocodile’s tear only to show the nation that you’re too much worried.my point of saying —– DO rather than BARKING.and his another reason to do this show off is to downgrade others as KING SRK/ being human gave charity,but instead of doing charity he is doing such cheapest publicity.one moron even said about BIGB charging in KBC,then who will made understand that mental retard that KBC is not a social show like smj.while KBC gives great prize money to winners unlike smj.

    @sky,as expected you’ll always remain like the same complan boy as always.you’re suppirtung a overrated actor who only knows barkibg rather than doing so.ething by himself.at least your 2nd fav sallu is better than your selfish amir who can at least give some crores to gain publicity.you asked when KING KHAN did a film that shows patriotism ,answer is CDI,SWADES,still if any one will say against his patriotism,then he’ll simply make himself the most stupid person on earth.

    • @sss I have told you again and again,don’t bark like a fool complan boy.Please bother on srk page rather than Aamir.I am talking with losers not kids.
      @gj007 agree with you but itsomehow irritates when someone doing good and fellows are barking unnecessarily.I knew this letter was signed by Aamir along with international celeb.
