John Abraham, known for his strong opinions, recently raised concerns about the safety of women, children, and animals in India. Speaking on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast, John emphasized that true patriotism involves acknowledging and addressing the nation’s flaws rather than blindly praising it. He pointed out that India is becoming increasingly unsafe for vulnerable groups and urged Indian men to step up as protectors.
John Abraham on the State of Safety in India
During the podcast, John expressed his deep concern over the current state of security in India. He stated, “Women, children, and animals are not safe in India. It’s sad. Indian men need to understand how they should treat their women. This is very important. For every woman, a man should be a protector.” John believes that being a true patriot, or a “Bharat lover,” means being willing to criticize the nation in order to bring about necessary change. He argued that blind nationalism—simply chanting “Mera Bharat Mahaan”—does not equate to genuine love for the country. Instead, true patriotism is about working towards improving society.
The Need for Social Change
John Abraham stressed that his goal in life is to contribute to societal change, particularly in how animals are treated in India. He lamented the worsening conditions for animals in the country and the lack of legal protections for them. John stated, “The condition of animals in India is going from bad to worse. The sad thing is that not a single law has been passed for the protection of animals.” He also reiterated his stance that the safety concerns he raised about women, children, and animals in India are undeniable and not open to debate.
Context of John’s Remarks
John Abraham’s comments come at a time when the country is reeling from a brutal rape and murder case in Kolkata, which has sparked outrage across the nation. The incident has led several celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra, Vijay Verma, and Richa Chadha, to speak out on social media, demanding justice and highlighting the need for societal change. John’s remarks add to the ongoing conversation about the urgent need to address the safety and security of vulnerable groups in India.
