My question then is well why then
the Hindus did not protest against the film, like the Kerela Christians
did?
Where is the protest to ban the
film?
Why the Hindus did not go to court
to stop the film?
And if there was why it
failed?
Don't say the Muslims and the
Christians demanded to see the film?
The way I see it, the Hindus have
failed to make case like the Kerela Christians and they are crying
now.
Please note I may be wrong on some
assumptions, I am going with what you are posting and trying to make a
case.
from what you are posting,
something is fishy.

Rajen-da,
The common thread is that when someone raises an issue which presents the
negative aspects of a group its members raise an outcry.
Recently a Indian film (called "Sins" http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/review/7455.html ) based
on a real story of a Roman Catholic Priest from Kerala sexually harassed an
underage teenager --raised a similar outcry by Indian
Bishops and other Catholic priests who even went to courts and got a stay
against its screening. Why didn't the (westernized) secularists say that it
was alright to screen that story in India - then they defended minority
rights.
About Da Vinchi Code (about Christ's love story with Mary Mag.) and RC
Pope's response- you know better.
Tomorrow someone would come up with a film about Prophet Muhammad or
about Marx-Engels love story which would be banned in Islamic countires
and China /Cuba etc respectively.

Anyway the similarities did not
match.

Not surprising. Just like the Pope Benedict's ire against Da Vinchi
Code and Gospel of Judas or like Muslim demonstrations against cartoons of
Prophet Muhammad.
Communists would perhaps object to the notion that Marx and Engels
were gay lovers -as has been recently reported.
