Religious intolerance has raised its ugly head again in India.
A 22-year-old Muslim woman has been trolled for singing a Hindu devotional song on Horror Archivesa television show.
SEE ALSO: 5 times when intolerant India had a problem with BollywoodSuhana Sayed, a participant in a popular reality show on a Kannada (language spoke in the state of Karnataka) television station, had lent her voice to a hymn in the praise of Lord Balaji. She was even greeted with a standing ovation from the audience, PTIreports.
And one of the judges praised her for uniting both religions with music.
However, she was soon condemned on a Facebook page by the name of Mangalore Muslims. The page has over 46,000 followers and posts are usually made in Kannada.
The now-deleted hate message had reportedly launched a vicious attack on Sayed. It said: "You have not achieved any great feat.. Your parents will not go to heaven as you have exposed yourself to other men. Stop wearing the hijab [head scarf], you don't know how to respect it."
Now, a new post on the page accuses the singer of insulting her religion.
"We criticized the fact that she sang about multiple gods while she follows a religion [Islam] that believes in one god. We are not curtailing her freedom of speech, but to gain judges' sympathy she had no right to level baseless allegations against the religion," it says.
People supporting Suhana are now looking at filing a case against those who have trolled her by not just inciting hatred amongst communities but also threatening a law-abiding citizen, India Todayreports.
Sayed, meanwhile, continues to be unreachable.
And some people aren't happy that the channel has removed the singing video.
