The poster for Indian filmmaker Leena Manimekalai's documentary 'Kali,' dubbed an attack on the Hindu religion, has sparked outrage on social media. The release of the poster is said to have insulted Maa Kali. Many netizens have tagged the police and the Union Home Ministry, demanding that those responsible be held accountable. On July 2, 2022, the contentious poster was unveiled (Saturday).

How did the controversy start?

Leena herself shared the poster for it. The contentious poster depicts a woman in the four-armed form of Maa Kali. Tilak is applied to the forehead, and a trident and other weapons are held in the hands. One hand is holding a cigarette, which is attached to the mouth. On the other hand, there is an LGBTQ flag.

About the makers

Associate Producer and Make-Up Artist Asha Ponnachan, Editing by Shravan, Camera by Fatin Choudhary and Rishabh Kalra, Audiography by Tapas Nayak, and Image Grading by Raja Ranjan contributed to the documentary. The controversial documentary was also made in collaboration with Tamil Art Collective and Queen Summer Institute.

Netizens demand strict action

Netizens emphasised the need for action. Although Leena expressed her excitement for it while sharing it, it sparked controversy as soon as the documentary's poster was released. The Hinduphobic poster shared by Leena Manimekalai is drawing outrage on social media and people are demanding the arrest of Leena Manimekalai for deliberately hurting Hindu religious sentiments and fueling communal unrest.

11 अगस्त को आमिर खान की फिल्म 'लाल सिंह चड्ढा' रिलीज होने वाली है और आमिर के पुराने बयानों के कारण उनकी लिए अब एक नई मुसीबत खड़ी हो गई है। लोगों ने इस फिल्म का बहिष्कार करना शुरू कर दिया है, जिससे आमिर, फिल्म की एक्ट्रेस करीना और इंडस्ट्री के कुछ कलाकार भी परेशान हो गए हैं। हालांकि, फिल्म हिट होगी या फ्लॉप, ये तो वक्त बताएगा। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं कि आमिर खान प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी के बड़े आलोचक रहे हैं ‌यहां तक कि उन्होंने गुजरात दंगों के लिए भी मोदी को ही जिम्मेदार ठहराया था। 2014 में नरेंद्र मोदी के पीएम बनने के बाद भले व्यक्तिगत तौर पर उनके लिए आमिर के सुर बदल गए हों और उन्होंने 'स्वच्छ भारत अभियान' के साथ साथ मोदी सरकार की कुछ नीतियों की तारीफ करते हुए खुला पत्र लिखा हो। लेकिन इसके पहले आमिर ने बहुत बार नरेंद्र मोदी की तीखी आलोचना की है। सिर्फ इतना ही नहीं, 2005 में उन्होंने अमेरिका द्वारा तत्कालीन गुजरात सीएम पर वीजा पाबंदी के फैसले पर मोदी के समर्थन में तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह के बयान की निंदा और अमेरिकी सरकार के फैसले क...

By:
In the year 1906, in response to the British Government's infamous Bengal Partition Plan, leaders of the time considered creating an Indian flag. He needed to rekindle national consciousness and the spirit of organisation in every Indian citizen through the flag. However, even before this, many different types of flags were popular in India, the most prominent of which was the saffron-coloured flag.  However, keeping in mind the immediate circumstances, Indian leaders considered a new type of flag to unite all religions, sects, and sects, which would become a symbol of resistance to British colonialism. The partition of Bengal was part of a plan to completely divide India communally. For appeasement, the British government decided to create a separate Muslim majority province, but Surendranath Banerjee writes in his book 'A Nation in Making Bengal' that there was a lack of unity in Bengal at the time. As a result, a flag was desi...
