I think if she really wants to make a movie about plight of females in religion in Hinduism (showing it a positive light acceptable to all) a movie on Mira Bai would be in order. Mirabai was the princess who fell in love with the God-Head Krishna (all historical - just a few centuries ago) http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/heroine12.html
http://www.krishna.com/main.php?id=548 and was casted out by her jealous husband. Her songs are still very popular among Hindus all over the world.

Just like I haven't seen any love emanating from C-da's writings about Hinduism similarly I haven't seen any love emanating from Deepa Mehta's movies or otherwise about Hindu faith.Anybody who is not a Hindu should expect negative response to negative comments about Hinduism.I take my own case - while I was in India I did not know many realities existing in US etc . But after coming to US I started commenting about them - and then a member of my mailing list got angry that if you did not like USA why did you come here. My constructive comments were miscontrued. Now I take care to highlight good points of USA from time to time.I haven't seen any effforts by Deepa Mehta to highlight any good points about Hindusim at all.have you?Umesh
