Recently a video of actor Naseeruddin Shah surfaced online where he is seen expressing his thoughts on the people who were celebrating the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.
In the video he has spoken about his disappointment in the few Indians who have been celebrating a takeover by a unit with such an archaic set of beliefs. He also went on to ask the people who were doing so to think over what they want (in terms of religion).
If they want a reformed, modern Islam (jiddat pasandi modernity), or are content living with the old barbarism (vaishipan) of the past centuries.

You can watch the video below to see what he has said.

Taliban will ban art, cartoons, drawing, music, movies, going out and working for women. Of course if Taliban were to home to India they will shut down Bollywood. Those fools who are celebrating Taloban deserve to live in Kabul and not India. Dar ka mahaul is a fake propaganda

Some Muslims in India celebrating the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan must ask themselves whether they need a reformation in their religion or the age-old savagery Naseeruddin Shah

Brilliant statement by outstanding actor Naseeruddin Shah, asking Indian Muslims not to rejoice at Taliban victory. We don’t need political religion. Our Islam is different. @Zehra_Zaidi, @PoMoGandhi, @RashVarma, @rashadzali1, @aak1880 , @feministdissent https://t.co/pnQo6d7Bsq
