Why are Indians so upset when three of Angelina Jolie’s bodyguards called some Indians at Anjuman-e-Islam school in Mumbai, ‘bloody Indians’.
Why make such a big deal of it. Release them.
Jolie’s bodyguards Robert Patric Dunn (35), Michael John Bratt (50) and Thomas Edward Mcadams (47) will be staying on in India for a week even though the stars leave on Saturday night.

I think one of these gaurds had grabbed a photographer by the neck and was choking him while it was being filmed.
**The Stars need to find some civilized gaurds....:( **
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
well you might not be hurt by it but some people dont like being called that label. if they were culturally sensitive they would say bloody neighbours of Pakistan.
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
They also said "bloody Muslims." Of course, then ppl'll go ape**** over THAT, because its okay to insult Indians coz theyre not muslim, so therefore not worthy of any respect.. :)
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
It doesn't matter WHO the guards were calling "bloody .....whatevers".
They needs to get over it. :] (Yes, even if it were Muslims that the guards were saying that to). Way too much other stuff to be worrying about right now, yea?
Re: Bloody Indians… Is it offensive?
will u be offended if some1 called u / ur family that? will it be THAT easy for you to get over it? if yes then u def lack self respect not only for urself but for those around u aswell…:halo:
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
What? You mean if someone called me a "bloody Pakistani"? Nah, it really wouldn't phase me. :) I wouldn't call it a lack of self-respect. It's more like...indifference of someone's prejudiced views. =)
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
^^If someone called me 'bloody Indian I would be grossly insulted :)
Re: Bloody Indians… Is it offensive?
lol why’s that? It doesn’t even mean anything. I can understand people getting upset if someone calls you something that actually means something.
If anything, you should smile and be like “hell yea. I’m an Indian. 
”
[edit] oh wait. you’re not indian, are you? okay yea i totally missed that joke lol. woops.

Gandhigiri Approach
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
it was idiotic on the part of the guards to call people of their host country that and they should have been a little more civilized and courteous..
yeah u dont want to react in an over the top fashion but at the same time people should not be able to get away with this stuff.

Re: Bloody Indians… Is it offensive?
MUMBAI: The jibe, ‘bloody Indians’, may have got three of Bollywood actor Angelina Jolie’s bodyguards arrested, but legal eagles say this is at most a case of a minor bailable offence. “It was in very bad taste. But let’s not give the bodyguards more importance than they deserve. These are minor bailable offences and much should not be made of this incident,” former solicitor general Soli Sorabjee told TOI and added, “We must treat such remarks with contempt.”
Jolie’s bodyguards Robert Patric Dunn (35), Michael John Bratt (50) and Thomas Edward Mcadams (47) will be staying on in India for a week even though the stars leave on Saturday night. They had allegedly abused and shoved parents at the Anjuman-e-Islam school during the shoot of A Mighty Heart on Thursday. A bail of Rs 25,000 later they continue to be Mumbai bound as they have to report to the police as per their “mutual convenience.” In fact, the police did call them on Saturday morning and they landed up at the Azad Maidan police on the second consecutive day.
The police had arrested the bodyguards for offences under section 323 of IPC (voluntarily causing hurt), section 504 (intentional insult) both non-cognisable and bailable offences and section 506(2) (criminal intimidation with threat of death) a non-cognisable offence.
Saying “bloody Indian” could by itself amount to a non-cognisable and bailable offence of ‘intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace’ under section 504 of the Indian Penal Code, said crime counsel Majeed Memon, which does not merit an arrest. Based on the complaint made by the parents, who alleged that the bodyguards also said, “I will kill you,” the police invoked a non-bailable section of criminal intimidation and arrested them.
Even under the non-cognisable section of 504 IPC for intentionally mouthing insults which could cause a breach of public peace, a person can get up to two years imprisonment or fine or both. As for an offence of criminal intimidation with threat to life under 506(2) applied to the bodyguards, the maximum possible sentence is seven years in jail.
The complaint notwithstanding, the jibe by itself merits no attention said other lawyers. “No person with ordinary sense or temper should even complain. No notice should be taken of it. This is patriotism perverted,” remarked former union law minister Ram Jethmalani. He said the body guards should never have been arrested.
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
^What is the full story. I am sure something else happened before the insult came in play. Nobody just starts hurling insults without any reason.
On the other hand these guys were supposed to be trained professional, the way the acted is totally unprofessional.
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
If Indian police apply the law on saying bloody Indians, the Indians also should not be allowed to say bloody Pakistanis or bloody whoever..Somehow I dont see Indian police acting equally for all nationalities on this.

They didn't say Bloddy Indians but they have told bad about the religion of the parents who came there to pick their children
Re: Bloody Indians… Is it offensive?
indians can be muslims..sum r muslims…what r u on?
Re: Bloody Indians.... Is it offensive?
I proudly say, Yeah it's okay to insult Indians.. how can you favor Kafirs? I still doubt you are a Pakistani and a muslim.. Being a muslim makes you special in everyone's eyes.. we are the followers of the best religion.
Re: Bloody Indians… Is it offensive?
