Sarfarosh in real life?

In the popular movie Sarfarosh there's a character - famous Pakistani vocalist Gulfam Hassan who acts all benign and friendly until his true colors are revealed. Recently popular singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was arrested for carrying a lot of foreign currency.
As usual the Paki govt made a huge push to get him released. There's probably than what's discussed, given that there are many Paki singers in the Indian music scene today.

It's about time....why do the likes of our film fraternity and TV hosts have such deep love for Pakis?
Utterly obnoxious misfits are clasped close to the bosom by this crowd. What is going on?

All over India, Saraswathi is revered as the Goddess of Learning. However, Saraswathi is a mythological character for "The Hindu". That is how "The Hindu" would like to influence its young readers.

"The veena is a string instrument, which is popularly known as the Saraswati Veena. This is because the mythological character Saraswati is always pictured with a veena in her hand."
