Obituary...
Name - desire to watch the da vinci code..
Born -after reading the code an hearing about the on screen adaptation
Dead - 2 days back.. As the minorities gleamed before the government’s eyes
the long time desire got lost in a quagmire..
bereaved by – code fans all over the 5 states in India where it got banned. Goa, Punjab,
Tamil Nadu, Andhra, nagaland.
Finally the day has come and before we can realize it’s gone.
Finally the government has brandished its petty minion nature in banning the motion picture to safeguard its minority vote bank, which speaks volumes about the cherished leaders of our beloved state.
Finally my hopes have been successfully smashed.
Day before yesterday, as I was sipping hot coffee and skimming through the morning papers, something burned my throat. Didn’t no if it was the news or the coffee.
There it was in bold. An article stating that the da vinci was banned. Plethoras of reasons were given for banning.
The most amusing and ridiculous amongst them was a line stating that it hurt the sentiment of the Muslim population.
Can anyone please explain to me what connection the da vinci code had with Islam.
People are just waiting for a reason to portray themselves as the crusaders of minority rights. All this just a publicity gimmick for garnering votes.
Politics has cut deep into our society and smashed the very base of our fundamental right to speech and right to information.
Politicians target more the entertainment field. Their 15 minutes to fame.
Nowhere else there is more publicity. Taking to the roads for petty reasons rather than directing their efforts to something constructive.
Here are some things that they attempted, as in attacking the film industry recently
attacking kamal hassan for having a caste name for his film tamil virumaandi
unnecessarily torturing kushboo for her comments on the present day women
not allowing to show fanaa in theatres. Though it was not official, everyone knows it for a fact that it was masterminded by the ruling party.
Taking up to the roads to prevent tamil films from having English titles.
Finally the bottom-line.. the da vinci code.
This is just the tip of the ice berg, the more recent ones. There have been many more any and am sure many more will follow.

t'was a total shock to know that Da vinci code was banned in tamil nadu...if at all it was to be banned it should have in been in the US or Europe whr thr r christian majorities who will protest the code. I agree with ur views totally. The govt is totally dumb, creating a scene over trivial things and leaving out wat they were elected to do.
