Offended by the poster of a Bengali play titled \u2018Hindu Chor\u2019<\/em>, a Facebook user Sumantra Maiti reached out to Kolkata police via its Facebook page, writing that the name “hurts his religious sentiments”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Soon after, \u2018Hindu Chor\u2019 <\/em>became a viral topic on social media, with many users echoing similar sentiments of anger and hurt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the users who shared the post on Twitter is followed by Prime Minister Modi. He blamed the Mamata Banerjee-led government for giving leeway to such hate against Hindus in the name of free speech.<\/p>\n

A Play is taking place in Bengal on 25th June Titled – 'Hindu Chor' what is Police and CM @MamataOfficial<\/a> gonna say on this. How can anyone organise a play like this?<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, it was also picked up<\/a> by hate-monger and serial purveyor of fake news Shankhnaad<\/em> <\/a>who called Hindus \u201cstupid\u201d for tolerating and allowing such things to happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The undue attention received by the one-man play caused Kolkata police to take action against \u201cattempts to disrupt the communal harmony of the state\u201d. Taking note of Maiti\u2019s complaint, Kolkata police took to Facebook to let people know that they have successfully taken down posters of \u2018Hindu Chor\u2019 <\/em>from across the city and have also identified those associated with the play to take necessary legal actions against them.<\/p>\n

Posted by Kolkata Police<\/a> on Monday, 18 June 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Akshay Singh, BJP IT cell in-charge, Kolkata tweeted against the play and wrote that Hindu Jagaran Manch registered a complaint in Hastings police station. The complaint termed the name of the play “highly objectional” and that it “hurts the sentiments of Hindu communities as a whole and thereby promoting disharmony and feeling of hatred among different religious groups.”<\/p>\n

\n

Hindu Jagran Manch went to Hasting Police Station to register the protest and lodge a formal complaint against the play "Hindu Chor" (\u09b9\u09bf\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09c1 \u099a\u09cb\u09b0) which is supposed to be Staged on 25th June at Sisir Manch. It's very strange how can anyone conduct show with the name "Hindu Chor" pic.twitter.com\/iXErMYoGoz<\/a><\/p>\n

Anti-climactic ending to an exaggerated plotline<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As it turns out, the play wasn\u2019t against Hindus, but the complete opposite. West Bengal BJP member Aparajita Chakraborty<\/a> revealed that it is based on the \u201chardships and persecution faced by Bangladeshi Hindus every day.\u201d She says in her Facebook comment – \u201cOur friend has tried to paint this picture in this play, let us all watch it on 25th June and then decide whether it warrants any protest. Only Hindus from Bangladesh are aware of the pathetic situation that they are in currently. No one is there to support them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Debashish Iyer<\/a>, who according to his profile is a journalist and a former social media strategist for BJP, also commented that the play was, in fact, pro-Hindus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Director changes the name of the play <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Owing to the backlash received on social media, director Probir Mondal decided to change the name of his play from \u2018Hindu Chor\u2019<\/em> to \u2018Giren Chor\u2019<\/em>. In a Facebook post he wrote – \u201cI apologise to everyone, please do not create any further controversy. I am changing the name of my play ‘Hindu Chor’ to ‘Giren Chor’. This is the brave tale of a Hindu ‘Chor’. I do not want to offend any religious sensibilities, but I apologise if I have done so unintentionally.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Posted by Probir Mondal<\/a> on Monday, 18 June 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

A scroll through Mondol\u2019s Facebook profile<\/a> gives an idea of his political inclination. Despite being a BJP supporter, he was pulled into the controversy and abused on social media by right-wing crusaders. A right-winger, one Rajib Roy<\/a>, posted Mondol\u2019s phone number on Facebook asking all \u201cproud Hindus\u201d to call him in protest.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s named was dragged into the controversy, blaming her for providing a safe haven to those circulating objectional statements against Hindus. CM Banerjee has often herself in the crosshairs of fake news purveyors and rumour-mongers who often portray her as Muslim and Bangladeshi sympathiser.<\/p>\n

An entire episode of hate-mongering along communal lines started and ended with people of identical political beliefs, a reminder of the famous quote by German theologian\u00a0Martin Niem\u00f6ller – “…<\/em>then they came for me\u2014and there was no one left to speak for me.”<\/i><\/p>\n
