Margashirsha Shukla 7, Kaliyug Varsha 5113
Denigration of Shiv, Parvati and Ganesh by Dainik Bhaskar
Will Dainik Bhaskar ever dare to publish such photos of Prophet Mohammad and Jesus Christ ? No ! Such denigrations are result of lack of pride about Hindu Dharma in Hindus. O Hindus, awake and protest lawfully !
Appeal to devout Hindus
Dainik Bhaskar has shown Shri Shiva, Shri Ganapati and Shri Parvati riding on a bike. This photo is published on their website in their 'Caption Contest' section (Contest # 117). People are giving irresponsible and insulting captions to this photo, thereby denigrating highly revered Hindu Deities. It has also hurt religious sentiments of devout Hindus. Now it is duty of all devout Hindus to protest lawfully against Dainik Bhaskar so that they should remove this denigrating photo from their website. So also they should render unconditional apology for hurting religious sentiments of Hindus.

You can't continue to denigrate Hindu deities and values, while appeasing Muslim terrorists. The descendants of Barbarians from Turkey, Arabia and Uzbekistan receive pampering, while the natives belonging to a non-violent Dharma are ridiculed and insulted. Like all anti-muslim populations around the world, we the Hindus of India are waking up.

This is highly objectionable. Let Dainik Bhaskar show similar pictures of other religions eg. Islam / Christiainity , they would not dare to do. All such acts are invariably on Hindu religion, only because we are extremely tolerant. We must protest.
we should xxxx ,who indulge in these type of foolish things,its a shame for our hindu culture,

I feel very sad for those who fail to understand that all religions are based on faith, nothing but faith. Practicing only is different. So it is better that these people understand this truth at the earliest.
In India these people must understand that they were all once upon a time were Hindus and are4 descendants of Hindus and seriously think to embrace Hinduism once again and bring solace to their ancestors.

Please, you live in Bharat. You are Hindu. Majority of your staff are Hindu. Those who are non-Hindus were Hindus only prior their convert to other faith. Why you want to insult your own ancestors who had immense faith, praise and pride for their deities like Bhagawan Shiv, Devi Parvati and Shri Ganesh ?
Please, live in this most pious land of Bharat in healthy way.

This is a shame to all of us. This is against our Constitution and the Judiciary should take immediate cognizance to this type of offences and lodge suo motu cases. Today this type of incidences are on rise and all are targeting the sanctity of Hinduism. I think there is a more sinister conspiracy behind all such incidences. We must pressurize the Govt. to bring strict Blasphemy Legislation in order to curb such incidences. The licences of those Bike Co. & Advertising Agencies should be cancelled.
Jai Hind!

First Arrest te fellows who dressed themselves as Shiva and Parvathi & Ganesh and rode a motorcycle in public.
Then arrest the Publisher and Editor of Dainik Bhskar.
If the police fails to do this, we need some outfit like Ram Sena to ransack the offices of Dainik Bhaskar.
Only then these vandals will learn.
Yes, I also agree it is not good. But what about the people who are ready to do such make up and moving out just for fun and making money.See we should first understand our AADHI SANATHANA DHARMA !
we are not like the people or beleivers of other semetic religion. Let them play. Be tolerant.Don'nt be silly. No fathwa in our DHARMA !! May God the ALMIGHTY bless all.

I strongly protest against the defamation of Hindu Deities by dainik bhaskar.
If the editor is at all concerned with the readers' sentiments, he should furnish sincere apology to all Hindus at once. Otherwise Hindus retain the right to make him do so.
First remove this Photo as soon as possible.
Will you ever dare to publish such photos of Prophet Mohammad and Jesus Christ ?
This kind of things is not expected from u.
I shall never buy Dainik Bhaskar in my life & tell other also the same thing.

First of all this is not good, i agrred, but how can we protest this kind of issues at this stage , as per me we should develop importance of our hindu religious in the school itself. at this stage we can not do any thing.More over noboday has a fear about Law and regulation every one leaving just like that.

This is very bad.We all have to stop this. There was a news published 2 days back that because of some objectionable matter on face book, muslim people had riot in Jalgaon. See how these people are alert and very religious. We don't want to do like them but by lawful way we have to protest.

There is no art this such picture. Besides this God Shiva is not blue and ugly. Off course some people with ill-knowledge draw him blue. But God Shiva is white, as white as Moon Rays and Milk. Give respect to VishvaMurti, Shakti and Ganesh.

I don't understand which factor ( FEAR , MONEY , STUPIDITY) stops these newspapers from publishing things like these about other religions.They always end up with idiotic reasons like PEACE , SECULARISM when it comes to other religions, but when they have to malign HINDUISM they suddenly find this sick term called FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

gentlemen,
it is highly irresponsible of you, to have such a contest , inviting sarcastic comments from immature readers --
if you had put prophet mohammed instead of lord shiva , the editor would have a FATWA on his head by now—and he would be underground, hiding in some dark hole.

Its high time that the mass media becomes sensitive towards the Hindu feelings as well. While the mass media takes utmost care not to play with the religious feelings of the Muslims and Christians and also the backward castes,its equally indifferent towards exercising care about the Hindu sentiments.
What is most unfortunate is the fact that majority of the people who indulge in such blasphemous acts are Hindus themselves.
Being secular doesnt mean taking the Hindu sentiments for granted. Its pseudo secularism.
