Thousands of Indians gathered at the National Museum in New Delhi to support Bollywood actor Anupam Kher, who lead a March against people claiming that India is intolerant. The march is also said to be against those who are returning awards.
Kher has found a huge number of supporters on social media websites like Twitter and Facebook, but the support that he has received from all over the nation has resulted in the venue being shifted from ‘India Gate’ to ‘National Museum’.
People from all over the country have joined the movement which has been titled ‘March for India’ and ‘India is Tolerant’.
The actor tweeted “When a 83 old emotionally choked gentleman from Tamil Nadu calls & says #IamaProudIndian & blesses #MarchForIndia it feels great. Jai Ho.:)”
“We have our issues but We live in a Great country. India is our journey & our destination. Let’s tell the world today that #IndiaIsTolerant.”
“News is coming that #MarchForIndia is happening in other cities too. Our best wishes to all Proud Indians.:)” he added.
#MarchForIndia is the No 1 Trend on Twitter India and surprisingly, the No 2 trend Worldwide.
Kher, along with National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar and several other film personalities will be meeting the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee at 1PM today.
March for India – India is Tolerant
Good job
SRK’s films should be boycotted to protest against his statements. Dilwale, Fan and Raees will flop.

@chameleon 007:
Veteran Gulzar Saab, RBI governor Raghuram rajan, Infosys’ founder Narayanmurthi etc also raised their voice against intolerance. Are they anti nationals, congress’ agents???
BJP leaders and rss thinkers like Arun shorey, Ram Jethmalini, Shatrugan Sinha are also talking about increasing intolerance of the nation. Are they congress agents???
BJP leaders and union ministers/MPs are calling srk Pakistani agent, Desdrohi, even comparing him with Hafiz saeed. Some ministers are comparing Dalits with dog. Are they doing so planned by congress????
Everyone that is supporting Anupam Kher is an idiot. And surprising i support SRK this time. India is not tolerant and the proof of that is right after SRK said that Shiv shena and BJP started too send their goons out and burn picture if SRK and saying that he should go too Pakistan and his soul is there. And also saying that he is Mohammed Hafeez. So do you call that Tolerant? NOPE THAT IS NOT TOLERANT! Anupam Kher is the biggest bhakt idiots i have ever seen. Minorities are dying because they are eating Beef. Girls are getting rape and people are calling India Tolerant?! What stone do you live in?! I want too join you!!
Very well done Anupam sir, very well done! Jai Hind!
Modi is allowing his ministers & MPs to compare Dalits with Dogs, isn’t it intolerance??? Modi & co are justfying the killing of Kulbargi, Davolkar, and Akhlakh. Isn’t it intolerance??? Most of the BJP leaders are saying that Muslim must leave India and modiji allowing them. Isn’t it intolerance??? Modi & his gang say all the scientist, artists, historians, journalists, poet who raise their voice against intolerance are desdrohi & pakitans’ agents. Isn’t it intolerance??? Most recently they have said that SRK is a Deshdrohi & Pakistani agent, even comparing him with Hafiz saeed. Isn’t it intolerance???
@tiger
You are a blind hater. Cant convince you. Good luck. :)
@Tiger-the real chuha: Lol liar and you said you hate both BJP and Congress equally!!
Yes intolerance is increasing too much,go and return the award which you got here for the best joker.
most of pepole here are double standard. actuality they are totally blind….they are enjoying today what happening in our country. this kind of mentality is very dangerous. this will divide pepole…..we all know he is supporter of modi….he feel what srk said is against modi….so he protest…..and people are supporting him,but know one try to understand…..who barking here and there,just ask question your self,what will we get?
@Tiger- the real chuha:Problem with you is that you are simply illiterate as to how to comprehend the statements made by any minister or even to acknowledge if the person making the statement is a member of the Govt. or not.
I can give you hundreds of statements made by Owaisi and other extremist muslim leaders against Modi n hindus but I am not jhandu like you to whine over these petty issues.
You won’t see how Arun Jaitley defended SRK neither you will see RSS condemning Akhlak murder case.
very sad think of our country is if minority say something about actual problem,than its consider as anti national…..and same thing by other is protest for their rights.
Going for a March to counter attack “intolerance” remarks is itself a sign of intolerance by Anupam Kher and Company
IRONY
in picture posted by indicine- we can clearly see blind educated,mindless,double standad,hypocrite pepole….
@Tiger – 1:47 pm
Well said !
India is definitely tolerant. Political Parties & their blind followers are not
I support Anupam Kher really proud of him . Bharat humko janse pyara hai .
Sonia Gandhi go back to Italy , corrupt government , corrupt Robert Wadera , Useless son Rahul Gandhi .
@ tiger u hate Bjp & Congress but y love MIM love , no word against them lol .
i dont support this march.
anupam kher….never heard of him supporting india on any of the social issues…seems like these award wapsi thing has jolted him and he has taken it personally
i believe there are other important things in our country to do march for…not for these not so important things.
and shahrukh khan is correct…i stand by his side
there is a belief that shaharukh khan is targeted because he is muslim.but there is also many muslim actors and eminent personalities as popular as shaharukh if not more than him.so why are they not be targeted.why amir,salman have never been called a deshdrohi.why Dr . Kalam was loved so much in india.We all condemed the tweet of salman on yakub menon.bt no one advised him go to pakistan.pls ans blind srk fan like tiger.
Congress lost the power when BJP won the elections by a landslide, and the win clearly showed that image of Congress was heavily stained in the eyes of the public. Now it was impossible for them to come back to power as long as people love BJP.
So Congress were left with one option- to accuse and defame BJP in every way possible, whether the accusations were true or false. In this way, it will turn a lot of people against BJP in the nest elections.
In return, BJP were very quick to understand what Congress was intending to do, and were not ready to let them be defamed so easily. They have worked hard for the win, and they wont let their hold go so easily.
Ever since, this game of words has been going on. This will continue till next elections.
Neither Congress nor BJP is innocent, both are simply trying to build/maintain their image among the public. Its pure politics.
Intolerance in India is very rare, one rotten apple ruins the whole basket.
I would support BJP solely because during Congress rule too there were a lot of problems. BJP is just fresh, and so far they have shown decent progress, and would like to see what they can do.
The ground reality is people are happy with this country……except some 60 year old parties and left croonies…….Jai Ho

If I am wrong then deny facts I have said with proofs rather barking rubbishes.

@son of mamta kulkarni:
Read my comments again buddhiji. When did I support the joker owasi & MIM??? In fact owasi & MIM are working as the B team of BJP. Look at the bihar election, how BJP used them against Nitishji. In Hafiz saeed article I had already said the political parties based on particular religion should be banned in democratic countries like India. Be it MIM or BJP. Yeah arun jately not said anything bad about srk but later modi appointed a bunch of MPs/ministers to bash srk you should not forget that too.
now I understand. lynching a man is tolerant. giving hate speeches is tolerant. well done anupam kher! n oh I forgot ur wife is in bjp n u r a modi fanboy who has a curtain in front of his eyes against all bad things happening in india. rather than accepting the wrong u r promoting it n giving evils a shield. today I know India ka kuch nai ho sakta. get ready for more riots n killings. India is tolerant. yeah right! kudos again Mr anupam kher
this indicates the power of srk…..
but people now support this…when srk says this….the haters create negetivity….. shame
ASK ashfaq family and killed writer family and child burned dalit family…..IS INDIA TOLRENT ? ANUPAM KHER IS BJP pet animal
Anupam Kher needs to stop misleading people
It is not India, but the government that is intolerant. Ab agar government Modi ki rahe ya Sonia ki, ham toh awaaz uthayenge Jo bade waade karte hain par na price reduce hota hai na ghareeb ka haq milta hai, bas go to Pakistan sunne mile sawaal karne par, Aur PM sir foreign countries jaarahe hain and dunya bhar mein baap ka maal hai jaisa donation karrahe hain. And hamari public is like “Jo jeejaa ji bole bhagwaan bole type ki”
Thousands who?? All Bharat Joker Party supporters. Now Yogi adityanath will not say to this f##ker to go to pakistan just because he is campaigning for his wife and BJP
If you support Bjp you are tolerant, good human, death bhakt etc….
If you oppose Bjp you are sickular, retard, terrorist, and go to pakistan..
desh bhakt
The people of Bihar have given a big slap on face of communial forces be it MIM or BJP. Bihar has given the mandate against the intolerance union government and fringe elements.
