Well a good part of the blame can be attributed to Hindu Indians. Muslim Indians and Muslims generally would not tolerate demeaning of their religion. For instance the programme shown by the BBC the Kumars at 42 which I saw two days ago on BBC 2 showed the god Ganesh and also another Hindu God and clearly fun was poked at . At the end of the show the figurine of Ganesh was given to the singer Lulu to take home. The Kumars at 42 have also in the past poked fun at Christianity and on that occasion the BBC was inundated with complaints. To my knowledge most of the actors/actress are Hindu Indians. It seems to me that the Hindus in the U.K. only worship money. They aspire to enrich themselves. I say good luck to them if that is all they have in life !!
