Sub:Satyajit Ray’s name should be banned for showing sexually explicit scenes

In continuation of ourletterVIEW HEREto you, we are again requesting your kind self to remove the name of Satyajit Ray from the prestigious film award.

It is surprising and shocking for us, the ardent supporters ofSangh Parivārideology, to find that a prestigious film award was declared on the name of Satyajit Ray, who showed not only anti-Hindu false ideology, but also the explicit and illicit sexual relationships that are prohibited in thesanātana dharma.
