How to get your sentiments hurt without watching Slumdog
by neo
You don’t even need to watch Slumdog Millionaire to decide if you’re going to be offended by it. The fine folks at hindujagruti.org have already 
watched it and have decided on your behalf that you will be offended by the child dressed up like Rama.
It is important that you support the ban without watching the movie. Because, according to hindujagruti, watching denigrating images such as those in Slumdog “… can even cause elimination of religious practices and facilitate destruction of religion.” (and that would be a terrible thing indeed).
The brave hindujagruti volunteers are martyrs – after all, by their own claim, their own faith must have been completely destroyed after watching so much denigration (imagine the “destruction of religion” caused in their minds when they created this page containing Lord Krishna in short pants).
After the Slumdog protests – we have a suggestion for hindujagruti. They should start a campaign to ban themselves – because hindujagruti.org itself is one of the largest collections of denigrating images on Hinduism.

oh yes, the Hindu jagruti folks – seriously are they for real? Methinks it is an elaborate POE.

Hindu Janajagruti Samiti is not for firangi Hindus like you. It is a group and when a group begins to expand, it causes an itch for several “neo” Phytes. Just as you feel nothing derogatory in the film, I feel like kicking Danny Boyle’s Ass and the contents of the film highly repugnant and anti-hindu ! Use your common sense. All hindus are not alike ! and particularly not like you.

Its interesting that you chose to ignore their call for a ban and watched Slumdog Millionaire anyway.

I thought you’d be mature enough to understand, that call for banning a movie is a kind of public protest ! The very fact that HJS is calling for a ban clearly shows that HJS activists have watched the movie and they found it to be derogatory, and you give a genius kind of smiley for pointing out this silly point ! Unless someone watches the movie, how can he or she know that its derogatory(laughing smiley ??). Call for a lawful ban on a movie is a kind of “public” protest, a utility for expressing anguish and resentment in a democratic way to stop any further public shows of the movie and to build up public Hindu sentiment. Such public protests and activities are one step prior to approaching the court of law for suing the film producers, directors or channels through which the film is telecast in the country. At present HJS has not taken this up that seriously because greater focus is on organising DharmaJagruti Sabhas all over India and abroad.
Always remember that HJS has the last laugh.
