Title: Re: [Assam] Deepa Mehta's love for Hinduism--or otherwise
>I haven't seen any effforts by Deepa Mehta to highlight any good points about Hindusim at all.



*** Why is Deepa Mehta required to do that? Let those who revere it do that. Not to suggest she does not. She might very well be a devout Hindu, but with the courage and integrity to point out what is so wrong with such Hindu practices as she brings out to the open for the world to see and shudder.

Because others may have similarly corrosive practices in their religions, does not make Hinduism's demons go away. Does it?

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?
