'Sita Sings the Blues' show in Starlight Pavilion canceled after protests !

O Hindus ! Let us express gratitude unto God for this success ! The 21st July showing of 'Sita Sings the Blues' in Starlight Pavilion has been cancelled after growing protests from the Hindu community spearheaded by Patanjali Rambrich, an alert Hindu in New York. An online drive against this show from the website of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti was also conducted. More than 3000 Hindus sent their protest letter. A spontaneous protest demonstration by temple devotees also had taken place at Durga Temple of Virginia last night, when a TV interview about the issue was recorded in front of the Rama-Sita shrine. Last week, Forum for Hindu Awakening had received several complaints about this showing to be held along with a panel discussion with the film's producer Nina Paley. Hindus have found this animation film to be an extremely denigrating twist on their sacred epic 'Ramayan'.    Read More at : http://www.hindujagruti.org/denigrations/sitasingstheblues Hindu Janajagruti Samiti is thankful to the proud Hindus who have participated in this campaign and made it a success. Though 'Starlight Pavilion' has stopped the showing of this film, our protest will  continue till 'Sita Sings the Blues' is banned completely and appropriate action is taken against anti-Hindu Nina Paley, the producer of this film.
