Next monday, a five day film festival of documentaries from India will be showing at the rampART creative centre and social space, but threats have been made to try to stop the festival going ahead.

Out of twenty or so films to be shown there are a couple which focus on the fundamentalist violence and religious intolerance which resulted in a massaca in Gularat. During film festivals in India, attempts have been made to censor these films. Now the same is happening in London.

Phone calls, emails and messages left in the rampART website 'shoutbox' have been made threatening the organisers with violence if the festival goes ahead. The pro-BJP community in the UK have been mobilised by the UK-BJP email list to take action to prevent the screening of these films which they claim are 'Hindu bashing'. None BJP supporting Hindus see things differently.

Next week looks like it will be a very trying time for the rampART which has already been set back by the violence of the previous week.

extracts from the shoutbox...
