So, before the entry of anti-Indian film mafia, Bollywood films were in high demand in countries like USSR & China

Not lakhs, but tickets were sold in crores & crores across the globe

But the mainstream media will never say you this

They are just glorifying the Khans! (9/12)

But after D-gang & Khans hijacked Bollywood, films were made only to please Gulf nations & Pakistan

D-gang gave opportunities to Pak actors & suppressed genuine Indian talents

Hinduism was mocked in every D-gang film and 'THEIR' religion was praised like anything! (10/12)

D-gang films started promoting anti-India propaganda too!

They started dividing India in names of castes & religion & states!

They started replacing words like Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Baghwan, Eshwar with All@h, Kudha, Rabh, Ali, and so on !sl@mic
words! (11/12)

Because of D-gang, India lost a golden chance to dominate the global film industry

If we had legends like Raj Kapoor, today we would have been miles ahead of Hollywood

READ this, SHARE this & if possible, let us unite to destroy the D-gang that controls Bollywood! (12/12)
