Nevada (US):Hindus have expressed concern over the misuse of the Hindu
terminology, Karma, in Hollywood even as it is becoming highly popular in various fields. In 2009 alone, four films and one television series titled 'Karma' were made. Starting with J.L. Freer-Hunt directed 1933 "Karma", 21 films titled "Karma" have been produced. Beginning with 1912 "The Reincarnation of Karma" (about a snake who is said to resume human form every 100 years) to
upcoming 2011 "The Karma Coalition", there are 61 films whose name includes word
"Karma" in it, including "Karma Café", "Instant Karma", "Karma Police", "Karma
Bitch", "Karma Cats", "Karma Baby", etc. There are nine people in entertainment
industry whose names somehow have "Karma" attached to it and 68 more who have
"Karma" as a part of their names. There have been five characters named "Karma"
in movies and two whose name included "Karma". There are 48 entertainment related
companies with "Karma" as part of their names. Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan
wrote on social networking service 'twitter' sometime back: "i'm all about Karma..
what goes around comes around!" Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement
in Nevada (USA) today, said that Hindus welcomed world filmmakers to make films
about Hindu subjects but taking Hinduism seriously and respectfully and not reimagining
its concepts and symbols just for mercantile greed.
