The Love Guru sparks protests

As expected, Mike Myers latest movie, The Love Guru has sparked off protests in some Hindu circles. The protest wars however are mostly being fought amongst Deepak Chopra and Rajan Ved with the former calling the latter a fundamentalist for getting offended.

I disagree with Chopra on his premise that anyone offended by the movie is an extremist or a fundamentalist. Lacking of sense of humor, they may be, but that doesn’t make them fundamentalists.

Uber Desi updates us on the controversy by contrasting views (on the movie) from Deepak Chopra and Rajan Ved.

Do we find the renditions of our people embarrassing, at times shameful, and usually idiotic? Surely. But at the same time, if we want acceptance, this is what we go through. And in most frats and offices, this is fair. You’re a rookie, that comes with the territory until you earn respect.

Desi Manifesto asks, how offended should we feel?
