look at the fuss that the ELM and the white-guy press are making over this. the white guys are shocked that someone wouldn't want a white guy's giant statue ruining the countryside. let them show the other cheek, and put up a statue of say raj kapoor's awara somewhere in the US or limey-land or the vatican. then we can talk. incidentally, are then *any* statues of any indian anywhere else in the world? i can think of one or two tiny gandhi busts in the us, and then there's the statue of radhabinod pal at yasukuni the war memorial in tokyo, but that's about it. yet we have a whole bunch of statues of white guys in india. why not tear them all down? down with the white guy statues, i say!
despite the spin put on this by the ELM and the pseudo-seculars, the issue is as follows: a giant statue of charlie chaplin, a clown, (do you know how big a 67 foot statue is?) will be overhanging a temple. it ruins the view and is disgusting.
why can't they put this clown up right next to one of the many churches in mangalore?
of course not, the ratzy-people would object.
similarly, on the beach in trivandrum, there is a giant 50-foot reclining statue of an obviously sexually roused and voluptuous woman, titled mermaid. this is right smack in front of a devi temple.
in the vicinity, there is a huge mary church and at least four more churches. there are at least six mohammedan mosques within one square kilometer. (the semites are competing to capture the waterfront, for purposes you can imagine). of course, nobody would dare erect the pornographic statue next to the semitic entities. the one old hindu temple is victimized.
ah, yes, all religions are treated equally in india, indeed.

Dear Friend,
I recently came to know that Charlie Chaplin is a christian! I am malayalee, in your terminology a malayalee hindu. I have had many friends, in your terminology muslim friends and christian friends. I never felt the need of inquiring about someone's religion, so was the case of Charlie Chaplin.
Does Charlie Chaplin have a religion at all dear friend? He is a living legend across the world. A man who made people happy with his sorrows! He doesn't need statues dear, for he lives in the lives of millions of people all over the world.
Any way thanks for making me aware that Charlie Chaplin was a christian. And btw I hope you are a human first, then hindu or muslim?
Thanks,
Roopesh

How disgusting would it for you the Khajuraho temple? Those sculpures are not vulgar, it is your mind that is vulgar. Hinduism equates nudity with divinity. That is why Hindus see Krishna antics not as vulgarity but divinity.
Can you tell how Matsyakanyaka is vulgar?
>> it ruins the view and is disgusting.
As you were there in front of that temple. It doesn't obstruct the temple. Nor it is disgusting.
warning: christist taliban al-taqiya alert in the 2 comments by "rupesh" above!!!
as soon as someone calls you "dear friend", you know he's a christist taliban. this is like as soon as some desi comes up to you with a big smile in a shopping mall in the US, you know he's from amway. they are both trying to sell you a bill of goods.
the christist taliban are trained to use this "dear friend" approach. see, even though this fellow "rupesh" (yeah, right) is functionally illiterate, he persists in the false friendliness. this is step one. step two is "come meet jesus". step three is "come meet my lovely sister maria". step four is "let me now stab you in the back". step five is "okay, time for the AK-47s". yes, there is a program in place.
nice al-taqiya attempt, boy, but no cigar.
