    It is still free speech you are restricting. If I make a movie, and at the most emotive and moving moment, you put a big banner there covering the whole screen and telling you that this movie is not real, it RUINS the fun!

    It was a blatant, in-your-face display of power. Had they been sensible, they would have included it at the beginning, not at the climactic moment. It was damn deliberate, and it succeeded in spoiling the movie. It ALSO succeeded in making people hate these stupid organisations.
    No one said it was fool proof. If the people are dumb enough to hate Christian organizations because of the disclaimer, then they are dumb enough to believe that the movie is real. Which still a lot of idiots do. Frankly, it just looks like these people are looking for any reason to hate another group. Glad I don't live there.


    As I said, completely and totally free expression, with the limit that you can't libel or slander someone still alive, or make historical movies which are inaccurate but present themselves as fact (though that opens up another can of worms, but this can be solved by a simple disclaimer at the beginning).
    Like the Da Vinci Code. Sheesh! AnSheeshm!

      He also forgets that there existed a community of Koli fishermen there, who were subsequently swamped by the people coming to the new port city.

The VHP is a bit indiscreet, though, and some rogue elements may have gone off there. But again, they wouldn't have done so under the organisation's ambit, they'd have done it on their own.

        But you tell me this - what motivation does the boy have to lie?
        What motivation doesn't he have to lie? I've seen no proof other than his word that this occurred. Where are the other witnesses? Where is the truth?! He sounds like a spoiled brat trying to get attention with his Nationalist Hindu ways!

                Note I said organisations. Not people, but organisations. A lot of extremely liberal people were extremely pissed when this happened. These are the people who won't raise an outcry when a boy is whipped to death in Iran, but they'll rise up in protest when their enjoyment of a movie is spoilt. They don't care who spoilt it, they just want to see a fun film.

                And the hatred is of the sort which says, "Those people? They're dumb! They spoilt the Da Vinci Code movie, the idiots. Bloody trouble. We need a stronger set of laws and the government"

                No. The Da Vinci Code included a disclaimer in the beginning. They wanted an extra one put in at the end, just to show everyone that they could get it inserted in there. As I said, blatant display of power.

                The movie was even banned (outright) in Punjab. Nice job they did there.

                      It is in honour of them and their deity, Mumbabai, that the city was renamed (IIRC - I'm not too sure on this).

                          In American English when a boat is sunk by overflowing water, its called "being swamped", which I think is the origin of the usage you employed.

                                They were swamped, as in, they were totally outnumbered and rendered irrelevant in the larger population.
