Have you heard of Sankalp Bharathi Seva Sansthan? If you have not, this is one of the hundreds of culture vultures of India.
In 'Singari,' the historic Draupadi (Panchali) has been portrayed as a prostitute and the head of religion as heading a group of criminals and law breakers involved in murder, rape, theft and acts of terrorism. Vandalism is rampant in the film. India's culture is being shredded to pieces. Dialogues that offend Hindu sentiments are heard in the film. The organization in question has leveled all these accusations and filed a case in the Supreme Court to ban the film for welfare of the people and country's culture.
The court is all the time tackling cases of murder and rape by the 'holy men' and now they are being asked to support these very men! Having examined the case, the judges could not find anything wrong with 'Singari' and discounted the hearing. They also did not levy a fine on the organization for filing the case!
The organization at least escaped without the fine!
