“My name is Ahmed and I am not a terrorist,” said the 14-year-old Texas teenager (Ahmed Mohamed) in an interview who was handcuffed over a clock he built in a home to impress his science teacher. This clockmaker story & these lines reminds us the famous movie of King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan’s MY NAME IS KHAN. 

The movie is about the story of a man determined to visit the US president and give him a very simple message: My Name is Khan and I’m not a terrorist. The film is a powerful look at what it means to be Muslim in the land of the free and the home of the brave. In this case also Ahmed was teased and called a terrorist, bomb maker because of his brown skin color and religion.

Ahmed’s arrest has been sharply criticized and the charges against him were quickly dropped. Now he is a superstar. He has received an outpouring of support including an invitation to the White House from President Obama & to Facebook by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
