PBS Anti-India propaganda documentary "Soul Of India"

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.
