Controversies
The Calcutta high court in a recent order has held that “Hinduism is a way of life and is wide enough even to accommodate atheists, agnostics as well as all shades of religious and spiritual beliefs”. The HC also said, “In the event, the Hindu religion was so fragile and wounded so easily, it would not have survived over the ages through various onslaughts, as borne out by history.” Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya’s six-page order on March 6 nullified a plea against Bengali film ‘Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti’,[5] for “hurting Hindu religious sentiments” by linking Brahma with ‘gopon kommoti’, which means ‘the secret act’. Petitioner Subhadep Adhikari also argued that the filmmakers should be prosecuted under penal sections which deal with hurting religious sentiment with a malicious intent.[6]
Renowned Bengali writer Debarati Mukhopadhyay claimed that the plot of the movie was copied from her book Diotima without giving any attributions.[7] Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy informed that Debarati's claim is baseless and Windows Production filed a suit of 10 crores against Debarati Mukhopadhyay. Smt. Mukhopadhyay also stated that she has filed a counter suit against the production house for plagiarism, copyright violation worth 50 Crores. She also filed a defamation suit against the script writer of the film for humiliating her.[8][9]
