Sub: Insult of Indian culture and
molestation of Buddhism in the
movie "Ajintha"
movie "Ajintha"
Ref: Our letter dated 08-05-12
Dear Sir/Madam,
Namo Buddhay! Jaibhim!
Vide our above
referred letter this organisation had informed you about the Insult of Buddhism
in the movie 'Ajintha' and thereby wounding the sentiments of Indians as well
as Buddhist mass. We had brought to your notice about the attack on
Indian/Buddhist culture but you had gravely neglected the representation and
went ahead with granting clearance certificate to the movie. This proves your
office's ill motives and leads to doubt of bribes to CBFC officials. Granting
clearance to such obnoxious movie makes you liable to punishments under IPC
295A, 298 and others.
As the movie is
granted clearance from your office on 10-05-12, it is watched by
representatives of our organisation on 11-05-12 in the 'Metro' theatre at 1 PM,
we found following serious objectionable points in it,
1.
Poster of movie, displayed everywhere show
dancing women in the cave. This is objectionable because Buddhist cave are the
auspicious places of prayer and meditation and not the dancing. Tt is ill
motive of the producer to depict the auspicious Buddhist cave as a place of
dance.
2.
Buddha is stated as an incarnation of god,
similar to Ram, Jesus, etc. You should take serious note that Government of
India had published that Buddha is not the incarnation of any god or superstitious
superpower, especially in the books written by Dr Ambedkar. These writing and
speeches and books are also published by Government of Maharashtra.
3.
Offensive erotic love scenes are shown right inside the auspicious
cave, and in front of Buddha Statue.
4.
At one place the colors of holy are shown spread
inside the cave and also on the body of heroine. Both the items are highly
objectionable becuase Holy was never played inside the buddhist cave Therefore the
producer had insulted the graceful culture of India.
5.
Buddhists abhor the festival of holy and it was
never the festival of Buddhists. This scene is intentionally created to hurt
the sentiments of Buddhists.
6.
A hindu/brahminical marrige of 'Saptapadi' is
shown inside the cave. Buddhist caves were never the places of marriages and
showing hindu marriage of Saptapadi is molestation of Buddhim.
7.
At one place, it is stated by the dialogue of
brahmin-role that Gill has to spread the Buddhism all over world. This is grave
insult to the Nation of India, because Buddhism was already spread in the world
prior to dates of story of the movie i.e. prior to 1800 CE.
8.
Contents of last song say that 'sorrow' is
outcome of Buddhism. This is attack on Buddhism.
9.
Climex of movie is picturized as if to propagate
that the work for Buddhism leads to sorrow. This is highly obnoxious.
10.
Showing the Head of Banjara community as rapist,
is abuse to the Indian aboriginal community. This is Manuvadi/Brahmin/RSS
conspiracy to malign the image of Indians.
Therefore this movie is an offensive piece in totality. We earnestly request you to take serious note of above offensive points and cancel the certificate of movie, as it is not only hurting the sentiments of Buddhists but destroying the graceful Culture of India. Failing to this you are liable to punishment under above referred section of IPC.
Thanking
you,
In
the service of Nation and Humanity,
