Details of the Protest Call by
IndiaCause on Sept 13, 2002
On Sept 19th 2002, PBS/Wide
Angle will be airing a documentary titled "Soul of India". This is
“NOTHING BUT BLATANT PROPAGANDA” purely targeted at dividing India on
religious lines using handy Gujarat tool ! IndiaCause is calling on
members and visitors to Join this campaign
in our national interests.
One good news before we
start this protest campaign:
We sent PBS a strong letter two days back. After several letters from
different groups, PBS have eliminated some important defamatory statements on
their web site. They have also diluted the
‘Hindu Fundamentalist’ word to
‘Hindu Nationalist’.
Let us make our protest stronger. We hope there will be at least 1000 more
protest letters on behalf of IndiaCause members. Let PBS know Indians are not
a stupid lot.

I am an
Indian Christian residing in US. I was simply shocked reading on PBS web page
on India and especially the Hindus! Can we have ‘Soul of America’? ?
Here are few more that you can use to send mail to PBS

whole range of issues instead of pointing fingers at Hindus
Nainan Desai:
India is
the only country where…

Muslim population has grown from 8% to more than 12%
