'Secular' face-lift for Bollywood

An appeal by some members of the Hindi film industry, asking people to vote for a "secular party", has left the fraternity divided. The appeal, an initiative by screenwriter Anjum Rajabali, has been signed by nearly 60 people, including filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj, Imtiaz Ali, Zoya Akhtar and Kabir Khan.

Stating that the "need of the hour is to protect our country's secular foundation", the appeal says, "Undoubtedly, corruption and governance are important issues, but we will have to vigilantly work out ways of holding our government accountable... However, one thing is clear: India's secular character is not negotiable... We appeal to you to vote for the secular party which is most likely to win in your constituency."
