Dud Sea Scrawls The Writing, clearly, is not on the wall!

Early in the morning, reading the Maharashtra Herald made me angry. The MCC (Maharashtra Cultural Council) was stopped from performing their latest play by the PPS (Patit Pavan Sanghtana)- self proclaimed and self righteous upkeepers of morality and all that jazz in Maharashtra.
The play in question was titled ‘MARUTI AND CHAMPAGNE’ and they thought it would hurt religious sentiments because of the word ‘Maruti’. While the producers insist its just the name of the protagonist in the play and it would be all clear if the PPS saw the play once, the PPS refuses to see the play unless the title is changed.
Reminded me of Black Friday (the movie), Zakhm and now Rang De Basanti also put through the scrutiny of these people who seem hell bent on creating a Taliban in India. Talk of Freedom of Speech!! Sorry, DONT talk of freedom of speech.
