Sakshi, stumpled upon your Blog from Dhivya’s blog. I love the thoughts of the Bachchans. Pretty Funny.

Amir Khan’s family had mango farms while Bachchalans were traditionally Doodhwala Bhaiyas from Allahabad (look at Lil C’s face). Hence I accept. I understand that being Doodhwala Bhaiyas from Allahabad does make them farmers but you have to think this one through. For the cows/buffalos (wherever milk comes from, I have no clue) they need grass, and for that, the Bachchalans had a farm, they cultivated feed grass which they fed to the cows/buffalos . Therefore they were farmers.

So, is he one or not? What is your assessment?

Thanks!

Dear Kamla – Well to me he is NOT a farmer. Agreed, his ancestors maybe have been one but what has got to count is his present. Neither he nor his son and in no-way his daughter-inlaw can be counted as farmers….and I doubt if they ever would bother sitting next to a cow.

The logic is simple na…when we are asked not to judge a criminal/convict’s family with the same opinion, then why should we do the same for Mr. Bachchan.

The weird thing is that this is just coming to light. He’s been involved in so many shady dealings like tax evasion yet no one said anything in the past and treated him like a demi God.
