“Police are to guard dozens of Indian cinemas after Hindu hardliners tore up posters and burned effigies in protest at a film about a lesbian love affair. Officers will flank cinemas showing the Hindi film Girlfriend in Bombay, New Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi and Bhopal.” The film has upset both right-wing groups who are angry about the whole concept of homosexuality, and women’s rights groups who claim that the film promotes stereotypes.
