Oh My gosh! On Nov 30 in the Indian Movies thread I said
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->While at it anyone watching the Rai- Bachan marriage moves? <b>They will have significant impact on the social mores</b>.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Looks like it hit the nail on the head. Folks need to know something. Amitabh Bachan is a product of an elite school Doon School. His parents were very famous and traditional people. Like most elite he had become DIE with his hobnobbing with secular politicians like Rajiv Gandhi and Amar Singh etc. His wife is an MP from Samajwadi Party.
In fact in 1997 he refused to light a lamp at a function saying that is a Hindu ritual and it was widely reported. In other words Amitabh Bachan is an icon of Modern India.
However his re-emergence from close to bankruptcy and near death have made him shed his Modern outlook and he returned to his traditionalist roots. At Tirupati temple he donated a very expensive jewel for the idol. In case of his son's marriage he is ensuring all the tradtions are being followed and I felt it would make an impact on social mores when an iconic figure comes back to the fold. Hence my remark. Nowadays even Amar Singh is attending Kumbh Mela and sees Durga Ma in Hema Malini's dance!
So the chatterati have decided to strike while they can, before the tide turns and sweeps them, with this nusiance case to draw attention to themselves.
My next prediction is the berating of evil South Indians who want to keep the land together and prevent rapprochment with TSP!
