These discourses are also greatly influenced by a history of relation between US and Middle East during the colonial and post-colonial era, 9/11 has been a seal of approval on those narratives. On the other hand, religion, art and literature are three of the key components of Indian culture, where religion has been taking a form of national identity lately and there are certain characters, gender roles, historical and religious representation that are supposed to be within the defined limits of spirituality and nationalist acceptance. The topic of ‘Terrorism’ has exceptionalism discourse where the subject is often times desired as well as exceptionalised in the social context. The stringent relation between India and Pakistan is a key and potent reason behind using ‘Exceptionalism’ discourse for Muslim Representing Characters in India Bollywood. All the characters hailing from or linked to Pakistan either have a connection with the history of India and Pakistan before partition or during partition or with the post partition events of extremism, friendship, infringements, insurgencies and the bilateral ties; this gives grounds to the premise that the ‘Exceptionalism’ discourse of Muslim Characters in Indian Bollywood movies is greatly influenced by the India and Pakistan geopolitical, social and diplomatic relations.
