Tom Alter reciting various Ghazals & Nazms at Rekhta.org

[@Manankumar007]

Tom Alter was more Indian than most Indians. He was the true essence of what India should actually represent. A perfect gentleman. Miss him badly!

[@joygoswami9537]

Bollywood lost one of its legends. RIP Sir Tom Alter.

[@shubhschiesser6951]

Tom Alter is an outstanding performer! His love for Urdu and Hindi language has command. Perfect diction. Very proud of you!

[@aftabursani]

Victor Hugo, French novelist, once said " Adversity make Men, and Prosperity make Monsters". Watching and listening to You Tube clips of Tom Alter, I notice Tom expressing his resentment about conflicting behavior of human societies, in what is being said over and over but what keep happening again and again. There is a huge conflict of what people say and what they do, which is astounding to people like Tom Alter and others. We live in material world where success is measured in terms of how much wealth one can accumulate but in fact real success is perhaps to struggle to find the right direction for the mankind to have a just society free of hate, division, inequality.. Today Tom is not here with us in this mortal world and to some world may seem whole lot empty with out Tom but his ideas and clarity of thought will keep influencing those of us who want to stop and look around for a guiding post. Some times we have plans for life and other times life has plan for us. Good bye Tom.

Hey Tom, may I suggest that you may consider writing your autobiography. You have so much to share. There is a story behind each one of us but you have so much to say. You can provide a window into history of the time when you were growing up. I think such an autobiography will be of great value for the posterity. Each of one of us has to leave one day but if while we are alive and living, some of us, like yourself should write their life story for the benefit of generations to come. Love you!

Most of the characters he played in those disgusting and cliche hindi films are English man which has been portrait ed in a racist manner. Through out his lifetime he had to tolerate soft(or may be hard) racism. But Satyajit Ray did given him the chance to show what he was capable of doing. Bollywood is just a desert for intellectuals.
