Controversy

edit

Leena Manimekalai had courted controversy after posting a derogatory image of a Hindu deity as a poster for her documentary. The poster was heavily criticized for its objectionable content and led to police complaints against the film-maker. The poster was said to hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community. Canada’s Aga Khan Museum issued an apology for hurting Hindu sentiments and the original poster of the documentary was taken down by Twitter [1][2][3] [4].
