Mockery made of Hindu Dharma, Deities and Traditions by Bollywood in the name of FoE: Payal Rohatgi

Panjim: Maligning Hindu Dharma in a systematic fashion through films like ‘PK’ and web series like ‘Pataal Lok’, is indeed a conspiracy of Bollywood. A mockery is made of the Hindu Dharma, deities, traditions in the name of Freedom of Expression.

This was the observations of actress Payal Rohatgi in a webenar titled ‘Hindu phobia Bollywood exposed!'(Hindu virodhi bollywood ka pardafash).

“Since the Hindu community is not protesting, this Hindu phobia is being fostered. The society is being brainwashed through visuals such as, a Brahmin individual almost always shown as evil or a rapist and severe atrocities being inflicted on Muslims in India. Why do these members of Bollywood, who insult the chant of ‘Jai Shree Ram’, not utter a word against the terrorists who shout a specific battle cry. Why do they not dare to speak about Triple Talaq,” actress Payal Rohatgi asked these straightforward questions to the Bollywood fraternity, whilst opining that it is indeed a conspiracy of Bollywood to systematically demean Hindu Dharma.

The webinar was organised’ as a part of the ‘Discussion of Hindu Rashtra (Charcha Hindu Rashtra Ki)’, jointly organised by Sanatan Sanstha and Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.

Prior to the start of the discussion, a video documentary showing how the Hindu Dharma and society are being systematically maligned through the medium of films and web series, was shown. The webinar reached an audience of 3,89,760 through Facebook and YouTube, whereas 1,08,411 people watched it LIVE.
