Yesterday the screening of this film at KMC Delhi University was stopped by the vandals of ABVP who have taken it upon them to decide what the students should watch and what not. India is moving towards a dangerous direction with brahmanical fanatics roaming around hitting people physically if they disagree. Judges are quoting Manusmriti and likes of Asaram are being made role models. One has to just assume future of our students and education system where the faculties of their minds will be closed to become 'devotees' and not of freethoughts where they can decide about themselves and question anyone. Questioning will be the biggest calamity in any theocratic regime which is being legitimised through 'democracy' at the moment.
