**Interview with Criminal Justice Expert Dr. Neha Sharma on the Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi Feud**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Sharma. With recent developments in the Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi feud, many are curious about the origins of this rivalry. Can you shed some light on how it all began?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** Thank you for having me. The feud actually traces back to 1998 during the filming of the movie *Hum Saath Saath Hain* in Rajasthan. Salman Khan was involved in the illegal hunting of rare black deer, which are sacred to the Bishnoi community. This angered the Bishnois, who are staunch protectors of wildlife and consider the blackbuck an avatar of their spiritual leader.
**Interviewer:** Could you explain why the black deer holds such significance for the Bishnoi community?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** Certainly. The Bishnoi community, originating from the Thar Desert region, has profound respect for nature and all living beings. Their values emphasize protecting animals, and they maintain a cultural and spiritual connection to the black deer. Hunting these animals is illegal under Indian law, and it is viewed not just as a crime, but as a direct attack on their beliefs and way of life.
**Interviewer:** Since the initial incident, how has the relationship between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi community evolved?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** The situation escalated after Salman was sentenced in the blackbuck hunting case in 2018, although he was soon granted bail. Still, the Bishnoi community continued to harbor animosity towards him, which has recently turned violent. There have been multiple threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, indicating a serious intent to harm Salman Khan if certain conditions aren’t met.
**Interviewer:** What is the current state of affairs regarding these threats?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** As of now, the threats have become more pronounced, with incidents such as shootings at his residence and alarming messages sent to his manager. The Bishnoi gang has essentially tied these threats to their cultural beliefs, suggesting that an apology from Khan could potentially change their stance.
**Interviewer:** Some sources indicate that the Bishnoi community has historical reasons for their feud with Salman Khan. Can you elaborate on that?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** Yes, the roots of this feud are deeply intertwined with their cultural identity. The Bishnoi community has long been historically marginalized, and incidents like the one involving Salman Khan are seen as emblematic of larger societal issues. Their stance has become a platform for broader environmental and ethical concerns, amplifying the feud beyond just personal animosity.
**Interviewer:** Given the complexity of this situation, what do you think could be a potential resolution?
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** A genuine dialogue between Salman Khan and the Bishnoi community could offer some hope for resolving this conflict. Acknowledgment and respect for their beliefs, possibly paired with community engagement activities aimed at wildlife protection, might help to defuse tensions. However, as it stands, the risks associated with the gang’s threats require serious attention from law enforcement.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Sharma, for your insights on this complex issue. It’s crucial to continue monitoring the developments surrounding this feud.
**Dr. Neha Sharma:** Thank you for having me. Let’s hope for a peaceful resolution soon.
