Denigrator Nina Paley's latest childish prank

By Staff Reporter

Nina Paley, who calls herself as “America’s best loved unknown cartoonist” on her official website has denigrated Kalimata by a nude painting in very perverted manner. ( https://www.hindujagruti.org/denigrations/index.php?id=4) which is a very serious denigration and hurts the religious sentiments of every Hindu. This was protested by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti to which she reacted calling it a threat.
(https://www.hindujagruti.org/news/article/denigrations/protests/ramayana-denigrator-calls-hjs-protest-a-threat.html ).

Going still further she has put on her website a mid chest view photograph of Dr.Durgesh Samant, the National Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti at the following link http://www.ninapaley.com/2006/10/desire.html calling this image offensive. This was promptly protested by proud Hindu Rishita from Canada. Unfortunately, like most denigrators abroad (Raised on a pseudo-secular understanding of freedom of expression), Nina Paley is defensive to the point of making personal slurs without for once examining her actions. See below the communications**

(The level to which a denigrator can go is evident from this act of Nina Paley and by itself speaks about her. Congratulations to Rishita for the prompt protest. From this it is evident that unless the Hindu protest does not increase in magnitude and severity such denigrators would go unpunished- Editor)

Dear Rishita,

Thanks for your email. I do not want to hurt Hindus, for whom I have great respect. Please note that I have absolutely no intention to demean or denigrate Hindus or Hindu deities. My work comes from utmost respect for Hinduism and love for the Ramayana story. That a very small number of people are taking it as an insult is most unfortunate.

So many Hindus, especially Hindus of Indian origin, have expressed so much love and enthusiasm for my work, I cannot assume those offended few who insist they alone represent “Hindus” should determine what other people see. To obey the wishes of that small minority would do a disservice to everyone else. I am sorry to offend anyone, Hindu or not. But no one has to actually look at my work. In fact it takes some effort to find my work, energy that could and should be put to more positive uses.

Please open your eyes to reality for a moment and see that you do not live in this world alone, and what you do has consequences and effects even on others.

My best wishes to you in this world we share.

–Nina Paley

Ms. Paley,

It is truly amazing how some people are insensitive and so self centred and in spite of receiving so many protests still think what they are doing is right.

At one point you will realize what a grievous mistake you have made, but it will be too late to redeem yourself.

This is a strong protest to you to remove all Denigrating web pages you have for the Hindu Deities. Please open your eyes to reality for a moment and see that you do not live in this world alone, and what you do has consequences and effects even on others.

You have truly hurt Hindus sentiments and to top it all you take it as a joke. It is not a joke but a very serious matter which requires you to thinks about society at large and just not yourself.

Will wait to see all denigrating stuff removed from your website.

A Hindu
Rishita

Ms. Paley,

Can you be able to tell me “How many (True)Hindus (Specify Number & names of those Hindus) are expressing love for your work(?) and enthusiasm?” (Kindly don’t do any vague statement – be specific)

If you think, you are hurting only small minority & hence don’t wish to remove this from your site, you are making mistake. For this remember “Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj”. They have very less Army but they have God’s blessings, which gave success to his Army.

So this is a warning to you. (We may less in numbers, but have God’s blessings) Do the things on urgent basis else prepare for worst consequences.

A Hindu,
Arya
