Aamir Khan and Indian democracy

Indian movie star Aamir Khan's claim of rising intolerance in India has proved to be true through the reactions of Shiv Sena. Their zealotry is demonstrated by the fact that they offered Rs 1 lakh to anyone who would slap Aamir Khan. India claims to be the "larger democracy-practicing nation". But these actions are not the hallmark of a true democracy.
