The recently released movie "Oppenheimer" has stirred a wave of controversy and criticism as it includes scenes that are seen as a scathing attack on Hinduism. Save Culture Save India Foundation, a prominent cultural preservation organization, has expressed deep concern over a particular scene in the film that depicts a woman reading Bhagwad Geeta aloud while engaging in a sexual act with a man.
Bhagwad Geeta, revered as a divine gift to human civilization by Lord Sri Krishna, holds immense significance in Hinduism as one of its most sacred scriptures. The text has been a guiding force for countless sanyasis, brahmacharis, and legends who follow the path of self-control and perform noble selfless deeds.
The Foundation has raised serious questions about how the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) approved the movie, considering the offensive and disrespectful nature of the scene in question. Such a depiction of the revered scripture has ignited anger and disappointment among Hindu communities across the nation.
In light of the polarized world we live in, the Save Culture Save India Foundation urgently calls for an investigation by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry (I&B) into this matter. The Foundation emphasizes that those involved in the creation and approval of such content should face strict consequences.
Union I&B Minister Anurag Thakur, as well as the courts in recent years, have expressed concerns about the insensitivity of certain entertainment content towards the cultural and moral sentiments of the masses. The Foundation highlights that viewers are often subjected to morally inappropriate and offensive material under the pretext of creativity, which has led to growing dissatisfaction among the public.
Uday Mahurkar, the Founder of Save Culture Save India Foundation (SCSIF), appeals to the I&B Ministry on behalf of the nation's citizens and the timeless tradition of transforming lives through the teachings of the revered Geeta. The Foundation urges the Ministry to take necessary actions to uphold the dignity of this holy scripture, and ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future.
The controversial scene in "Oppenheimer" has sparked widespread discussions and demands for accountability from the entertainment industry. The issue has raised crucial questions about respecting cultural and religious values while creating and promoting creative content.
The Save Culture Save India Foundation's call for action reflects the sentiment of countless individuals who wish to safeguard the essence of their culture and uphold the sanctity of their sacred scriptures. The matter now lies in the hands of the authorities to investigate, address, and prevent any such incidents in the future, to preserve the rich heritage and values of the nation.
