Muslims all over the world keep supporting indian movies that makes muslims 
look evil in every movie, just as the western movies does with the 
arabs/muslims. Muslim waste their money by watching these remakes of american 
movies with stolen songs from pakistan artists. These money they spend goes to 
india to help them abuse muslims in kashmir and to make more movies against 
Islam. If there are muslims who don't care about this then they can atleast 
still stop giving their money to india by downloading these moviest for free 
from torrent sites.

New Indian film draws protests from Muslims
SYED HUSAIN AFSAR

A NEW Indian film which depicts the bloody events surrounding the partition of 
the sub-continent has drawn outrage from the Muslim community.

A prominent Indian Muslim group is calling for a boycott of the cable 
television network that produced the film Gadar (Anarchy).

"We are issuing a call to all Muslims to boycott Zee Network's cable television 
channels," Mohammad Farooque Azam, president of the Bombay chapter of the 
Indian Union Muslim League said.

Azam, who has seen Gadar, said the movie depicts Muslims as rapists, terrorists 
and unworthy of trust.

Azam echoed the views expressed by a prominent Indian Sikh leader, Rachchpal 
Singh, that the film was part of a conspiracy to create enmity between the 
Muslim and Sikh communities.

Gadar, a love saga set in 1947, depicts a Sikh truck driver falling in love and 
eventually marrying a beautiful Muslim girl, against the backdrop of the 
partition of the sub-continent into Hindu majority India and Muslim majority 
Pakistan.

Describing certain scenes in the film as "objectionable", Indian Muslim leaders 
have demanded some scenes be dropped from the movie.

In a letter faxed to Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, the 
vice-president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Dr Syed Qalbi Sadiq, 
said the film has further divided Hindus and Muslims.

"We expect immediate action from you in this regard, otherwise things may go 
out of hand," wrote Sadiq in the letter.

He also pointed out that Hindus were similarly outraged when Stanley Kubrick's 
last film, Eyes Wide Shut used a well-known verse from the Bhagawad Gita during 
an orgy scene.

Meanwhile, Muslims in the Indian cities of Bhopal, Kanpur and Ahmedabad staged 
demonstrations outside cinemas showing the movie. Posters promoting the film 
were burned and some nearby buildings were damaged during the protests.

The film is Zee Network's first mega-budget feature film production. Well-known 
Indian film actress Shabana Azmi described Gadar as a "provocative" film, but 
defended its screening.

"Gadar positions the Muslims as the 'other'... The film is designed to be a 
provocative one. The father of the girl ... subliminally reinforces the canard 
that any Muslim is automatically a Pakistani," Azmi said.

There are around 140 million Muslims in India, the second largest grouping in 
the world after Indonesia.
