Again, it’s a prime example of the slippery slope one finds oneself on when a system is based on such a fundamentally flawed principle as censorship.

It’s also interesting how multimedia giant Sony’s The Da Vinci Code seems to have made it past the Censor Board, the petitions, the threat of hunger strikes and yet, fanatics have successfully destroyed the film from a smaller Indian studio, Tickle My Funny Bone.

Even after being heavily censored, having scenes deleted, it’s name changed (originally entitled The Naughty Nun, jokes removed and an entire song cut out, protestors managed to get the film censored to the point where there are absolutely no religious references at all.

Now, what’s the point of that? The story is about how a novice nun falls in love and tries to leave the convent! They’ve removed all scenes with churches, holy symbols, and nuns!

Read more about the idiocy in this article on the entire sordid affair that is the Tickle My Funny Bone saga.

I will add that website to the long list of Hindu grievance, which is long because our rape at the hands of salivating Abrahamics has been long, but it has not been as long as our 99 trillion history of tolerance.

Hail Mogambo!

Are you mocking me? Don’t use your crafty Abrahamic sarcasm on my poor under dog soul.

For 92 squillion billion years Hindus have been meditating on lotus flowers and being tolerant.

We’ve been raped ever since the Abrahamics destroyed our saffron paradise and ended tolerance. I am in pain and have lot’s of grievance as I can feel the metaphorical pain of that rape in my ass. That’s why I can’t walk straight. Just another grievance that I can add to the list of Hindu grievance.

No Hindu did anything intolerant ever, never ever never. No siree, never.

Bajrang Dal is ancient Vedic version of girl scouts. Anyone who says otherwise is shitting in the mouth of Hindus, and we are tolerant of all things except Abrahamic shit in our mouth, as well as rape of our tolerant civilisation. Da Vinci code proves Abrahamics are the most intolerant and we are not incapable of intolerance, unless provoked by Abrahamics.

Hail Mogambo!

Those Abrahamics need to be put into their place.

Their Indian cohorts have merely carried it one step further.

…..Which means that they’re acting on their own initiative, and do not necessarily have the approval of the Vatican.

The Cardinals have not asked for a ban, but a boycott. They’ve also alleged that it’s an assault on Catholic Christianity. Their Indian cohorts have merely carried it one step further.

Ennis,

you can’t claim that nobody listens to the people who are opposed to Husain given that his house and two galleries were attacked in the past

Sure – demagogues have followers. Even if a person has twenty followers, it’s enough to attack a man’s house/possessions. However, my point is that they have no religious sanction. No Hindu priest or Vedic philosopher worth a dime has come forward to ask for a ban on Water or MFHussain. On the contrary, this particular ban is being demanded by Catholic clergy. Hence the potential for more damage.
