The Scene
If somebody had made such a series on their gods, the matter would have reached in the parliament and top courts of the country.
Hindus are not taken seriously because they don't block roads, they obey the laws. That's it. Don't test our patience.#BanTandav #BanTandavNow pic.twitter.com/5nJJvQyhy6
