Palestinians in Gaza love Indians. They love Indian dancing, they love Indian music, they love Indian clothes. Whenever I walk out of the house, someone inevitably asks “hiyya hindeyee?” Is she Indian? ”I knew it!” they say when the response is in the affirmative. “Bheb al Hind,” I love India….
So Amitabh, Abhishek, Aishwarya, Amir, Hrithik, Kareena, Salman, Shahrukh, if you’re reading this, how about a shout out to 1.5 million of your biggest fans in the Gaza Strip? Israel has forbidden pasta, tea, cement and freedom flotillas from entering Gaza, but it hasn’t stopped Bollywood. We watch you under the Israeli drones and the F-16s, after being shot at by the Israeli navy and army while fishing, picking olives or going to school. You bring a sliver of joy to people living under the world’s longest occupation in the world’s largest prison, and for that we thank you.

The writing on the T-Shirt in Arabic just reads ‘Hayati Film’ which may be translated as My Life is a Film. I don’t get why you translate it as My Life is an ‘Indian’ Film. Just saying.

Good to know the translation. Fits well into the Bollywood script.

I don’t want to be appear nit-picky or anything, but I can’t resist noting that the caption says ‘the Arabic TEXT reads…..’. An image is not the same as a text, is it? But you made a good observation.
