As young India protests, young Bollywood finds its voice
MUMBAI, India — Fearing a backlash from fans, politicians and religious zealots, Bollywood stars have in the past usually steered clear of India's fiery politics. But the country's top actress may have changed that.Signaling a possible generational shift, Deepika Padukone waded into a sea of student protesters in Delhi on Tuesday night, evoking loud cheers from the surprised crowd.Few had any inkling that Padukone would attend the demonstration at a prestigious university where the left-leaning student body has long been in the cross-hairs of India's ruling party.Her appearance sparked a social media war between those wanting her new film boycotted — suggesting her only motive was publicity for the movie which released on Friday — and others applauding her courage.Either...
