MTV India Attacked!

Filed under: MTV

mtvindia1.jpg

Some peeps are really pissed…at MTV!

According to new reports, MTV's offices in Mumbai, India, had its windows smashed with rocks, banners torn and some furniture damaged on Monday.

No…Mike Myers didn't cause the riot. He was NOT in the offices promoting Love Guru.

70 Sikh protesters reportedly targeted the MTV office because they found MTV posters (promoting a show called On the Job2) showing a Sikh girl massaging a man quite offensive.

The source says police later released the protesters on bail.

An MTV attorney said that no one was injured in the 'attack' and that they would consider the protesters demands to remove the 'offensive' posters.

    perez, just because western civilization has deemed it appropriate to have such public displays of affection, doesn't mean that it's not "offensive" to others. Rather than being "offensive" it's actually very offensive. To you, being cultured means wishing the US was more like Europe, using chopsticks, and insisting that Islam is not a violent religion. It takes a truly cultured person to understand and appreciate that others cultures might find the public picture of a woman massaging a man sexist, demeaning, and truly offensive. Obviously, violence is never the answer, but I am glad that MTV is considering removing the posters.

    Mike Myers just previewed the Love Guru for a bunch of Indian journalists and they loved the movie. Said it wasn't offensive to them at all and was in fact very funny and sweet with a good message. They said people jumped too quick without having seen the movie.

    And IRAN is not INDIA

  29. Ridic says – reply to this

    it's disgusting to see how narrow minded and racist so many people above me are…sikh terrorists? are you kidding me? do you know how ignorant that is? educate yourself, that's disgusting.

    secondly, what does the stoning in Iran of homosexuals have to do with India? you need to educate yourself too…maybe 10 years of geography and cultural lessons.

    none of you bigots know anything about india, or sikhism for that matter. stop being ignorant. you can't act like people in america don't get upset over things that you may disagree with…for example, the controversy over Abercrombie and Fitch graphic t-shirts. just because someone or some people have different cultural values doesn't make it okay for you to be racist and discrimatory.

    homophobia, racism, sexism…these all need to stop. learn some tolerance and make the world a better place

    37

    regai…homosexuality is technically illegal in india but it is never enforced by the police, it hasnt been enforced in years…its just a law that is still there but has no meaning anymore because there are so many other laws built into the indian government that prevent being punished by law for being a homosexual. so get your facts straight you stupid piece of shit.

    Oh please sikhs arent peaceful their religious symbol is a friggin sword.

    LETS BE REAL HERE, INDIA IS AS BAD AS IRAN. WITH THE CASTE SYSTEM, POVERTY OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGICAL BOOM PERIOD FOR CITY FOLKS.

    YOU IDIOT NO SUCH OXYMORON EXISTS. A PERSON WHO IS SIKH WHO COMMITS TERRORISTS ACTS IS A SIKH TERRORIST, AS MUCH AS THEIR ARE HINDU BJP TEORRISTS.

    Anyway, the sikhs should feel privileged by what mv did. Sikhs are very hairy in hygienic people, who dont cut or groom body hair. women with hairy pits, no thanks!

    On a greater world scales, sikhs are pretty INSIGNIFICANT, not like the christians and jews who are great and add value of the world. Continue the hairy growth sikhs, bushy fannys and male stinking crotches. URGH NASTY

    And this is precisely why America (and it's image) is sinking deeper into that hole it dug for itself during the Iraq "war". Seriously, I'm glad some people are taking a stand for what they believe in and actually RESPECTING women…not parading them around bare breasted on covers of magazines and demeaning them every chance they get. And once again the American educational system fails! the Caste System is outlawed and India is revolutionizing the technology industry. I highly suggest go learning about countries other than your own and not being such ignorant bastards.

  48. Ana says – reply to this


    48

    And once again, America fails! This is precisely why our image is rotting around the world…because certain ignorant bastards don't realize that there is an entire world beyond just America and England. It is refreshing to see people actually stand up for what they believe in — RESPECTING women, as opposed to flaunting them bare breasted on magazines and posters and demeaning them every chance they get. It's another culture…and just because it isn't up to American standards - or lack thereof - doesn't mean it's wrong.

    FYI. Caste System? illegal. Iran? That's near Iraq…in the middle east. Nowhere NEAR India (guess that was just a shot in the dark, right….Iran is not america, neither is india…they must be near eachother, right?) Poverty? Can America handle it's 300,000+? No. Imagine having 1 billion people in just one country. And India is revolutionizing the technology industry.

    Go read a fucking book for once.

    I can't believe the number of ignorant, racist and ill educated people that are posting comments.
    There are places around the world where things are taboo or not tolerated due to religious or cultural beliefs. Just because it is tolerated in north america, doesnt mean it is right or wrong, it just means we are a different society.

    Yes, it is sad that MTV was attacked in such a way, but don't use this as an example to target Sikh's and India as a negative. Every religion has those who step out against the actual teachings of their religion. it is sad, but it happens within EVERY religion. Sikh teachings are very beautiful and peaceful, yes their symbol has swords in it, but these swords represent attacking mental demons and represents connection to god, it has nothing do do with physical violence, so please get your facts straight.

    No, I am not sikh, but i am a religions major, and find it really sad when people make false, ignorant and irrational statements about things they don't actually know about.

    836 million people in india live on LESS than 20 rupees per day (USD 0.50) Indias greed has left its own people behind only to cater for the elite, and the Indians who want to be westernized like AMERICA!

    Not to mentions AIDS is at an all time high. The infrastructure is a mess in the country, the roads, health care are all terrible. YAY for india.

    So in light of the above dont even put india in the same sentence as America the great!

    Hindus believe in cows as god! Muslims christians and jews believe in abraham. Thats a major difference right there.

    Sikhs are just insignificant on a global scale, theres no more 25 million of the. Compared to the BILLIONS of muslims and christians. Not to mention most sikh girls ai know are sluts. ALL are westernized no modesty. LMAO their parents would be shocked if they knew what their daughters got up to. Sad thing is most of these sikh girls are ugly and hairy oh well.

    YAY to MTV

    You guys are so ignorant. Obviously there are better ways to deal with this situation than engaging in violence, but be known that the views of the individuals who decided to create havoc at the MTV studios do not represent the views of the ENTIRE sikh community. Just with any religion, you have a spectrum of beliefs within the system. You have people who are orthodox and conservative, and then you have people who are unorthodox and more lenient. Perhaps this is the reaction of maybe a more orthodox group of individuals who have more violent tendencies.

    Regardless, I'm not Sikh but I have many Sikh friends. It is NOT MEANT to be an aggressive religion although they do use a lot of symbols that may be considered aggressive to other people, such as swords, lions, etc. However, swords, lions, tigers, etc. are symbols present in MANY other religions (do your research people!)

    In terms of hygeine and what not, who's to say the person who posted that comment even frequently showers???

    Yeah, personally I think it is ridiculous that the Sikh individuals reacted that way, but for anyone else to sit here and bash India or someone else's religion needs to well, find something better to do…

    having just spent two and a half months traveling in india, i can tell you all that it's not only sikh's that would find that offensive - the entire country is very conservative when it comes to public displays of affection of any kind, not to mention plenty of other countries in the world. mtv should have known that and respected it. bad form on their part.

    Re: Brown

    Indians still value the female gender and do not desire to see her debased and exploited as a sex object. Kudos. Don't apologize for it. Indians believe in sensuality as opposed to overt sexuality. This is fine and I wish we understood the difference in the USA.

    Re: steph

    Racially Indians are not arab. Quit showing your ignorance. I'm an american and I hate how sexualized our nation has become. Today in the USA, prostitution and pornography are mainstreamed as "legitimate" career choices for women. Such degradation should never be encouraged for young women. At least in India they have more respect for the female gender. Here women have no self respect and allow themselves to be exploited and the men are only too happy to do it.

    @ love, sikhs are peaceful but not like the budhists..what u do have to say about the three Ks ,first being Khukri or sickle? and everyone world over have to understand that if u have a problem with something ,u dont have to attack anything..stage a protest or write a letter..like the wrtiers guild or whatever..
    and for all u non indians..india is not so entirely uncivilised with women in veils and men in turbans..we are way more cultured and modernised..like someone said ,its only rhe sad stuff that come out..india is a country of widely contrasting binaries.there is the extremely rich, armani wearing ,prada toting rich and the dhoti wrapped bullock cart driving poor..and of that i am proud…….
    the fact that the so called "civilised" occidental culture has to resort to dissing and panning anything other than them shows who is actually civilised and cultured..no we dont want to be stuck in the middle ages and we are not..burt neither do we want to be like u..self righteous ,without an idea about what goes on in the rest of the world

    because muslims invaded

    the native people there felt this was wrong, and formed a religion they felt was right.

Indian women have won Miss World and Miss Universe several times and that shows that they are not only beautiful, but intelligent and civilised…furthermore they have gone on to become major figures within film and tv…setting standards not only when it comes to glamour but also talent, something which im sure your lard gut wont be able to understand.

    As for the rest of you who can't tell the difference between india and Iran, Sikhs and people from Afghanistan …there is no hope for you! Might as well call it quits and donate your stupid brains to science because intelligence doesn't grow on trees…dumb fucks!

    There was a Sikh physician at my hospital who was the best damn doctor in the whole place. Respects. I'm pretty sure there are some pretty brilliant American doctors tearing up hospital wards in many countries overseas as well.

    I think this comment section proves how dumb white people are. Step out of the box and educate yourlsef about other cultures in your country. Sikhs/Hindus/Muslims are all different. Instead of becoming strippers/hookers/crack heads go back to school and learn something.

    While not all Indians in America would really care about this issue in particular, the amount of racism is astonishing. I understand religion is not taught in school nor do history or geography classes go in depth with countries other than say, Europe, but it would expand your integrity as a human being to EDUCATE YOURSELF and not leave it to the system to do so…because this is what they want. They want your ignorance so that you can provide hate. When you do that, you're keeping allegiance and loyalty in a sick manner to your country.

    Quit the racism. Just like we know ALL Americans are not racist, redneck, hillbilly, whorey, uneducated and dumb, you too should understand that the actions of certain individuals in a country of OVER one billion people do not reflect the views of everyone.

    Learn.

    MTV will "consider" taking into consideration people's sensibilities and cultural mores?

    Screw MTV. They began as a racist and exclusive network (refusing at first to promote Black artists and their music) and now they're spreading their arrogance. To hell with them.

    Stick with Bollywood.

    In India they have not been modernized, especially in punjab where most of the sikh population is. There they mostly still live with wha we call olden day thinking. YOu have to rememebr back in the day in north america women would never be allowed to do that, and stuff. Inindia hey still do arranged marriages, and women arent suppose to see men before marriage and such. Its jsut theyre way of thinking, its different hen ours, so deal with it.
    There really is no need for racism just becuase you may nto agree with them.
    Really this is why we have so many issues in out world is becuase people are hating. The reason why we have war, poverty, racism, dictatorships, is because of HATE.
    What do you get out of being racist and putting down others because of their skin color or race.
    Alot of you need a reality check and really need to learn to accept others for who they are.
    Keep the peace.

    It was only 70 people out of nearly 20 million sikhs in india. Thats just like if say an abortioon clinic was protested by like 100 christians or something. Every religion has is strict fundamentalists. I am sikh and try to be very liberal minded in the 21st century.

    Sikhs are very peaceful and tolerant of all people and we certainly do not devalue women, they are treated as equals. As for the ad, i havent seen it and so I cannot commen on it. If it was blatantly sexual in nature then i feel it should be removed, but never should you resort to violence to prove your point. That goes against our sikh principles.
