Brilliant observation by Rajiv Menon..I read this on Facebook and wanted to share this ..

A lot has been written and indeed well written by many nationalists as to why this Lal Singh Chaddi movie needs to be boycotted.

Yesterday, i happened to see this poster in my FB newsfeed and noticed some abject yet subtle insults that this fellow has done, and hence decided to share it with others.

The 10th fail pseudo superstar has been depicted as a mentally challenged man in the movie who happens to

join the Army. The antinational script writer and the actor himself just blindly aped the original movie, Forrest Gump, and may be showed the protagonist joining the Indian Army, just like Gump joined the US Army for Vietnam war.

But they forgot that US Army was facing a crushing defeat at Vietnam and was not getting recruits to join the Forces then and had to reduce the IQ standards for new recruits in order to get men to fight the war.

Fortunately, that has never been the case with our country where men and women have always stood by to protect it.

Now some more interesting facts, which are more of insults to the Army than mere facts.

1. The man is shown as a pagdi wearing Sikh in some scenes and is shown as a clean shaven fellow in this poster. Since when did the Indian Army forced or told Sikhs to be clean shaven?

2. Look at the regimental insignia on his shoulders. The fool does not just belong to the Army but the ELITE SPECIAL FORCES Parachute regiment (the one that conducted the surgical strikes and is considered to be the smallest yet finest regiments of the IA).

3. The insignia of swords depicted on the arm of the uniform is that of a curved sword and not the straight one. The curved sword insignia belongs to the Pak Army and the straight one refers to us. So the fellow is a Special Forces soldier from IA who defected to Pak?
