Picture from Hindus urge Sony to withdraw game

Hindus have urged Sony Corporation to withdraw the newly released Hanuman: Boy Warrior video game, saying that it trivializes the highly revered deity of Hinduism. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement today, said ”that in a video game set-up, the player would control the destiny of Lord Hanuman while in reality the believers put the destinies of themselves in the hands of their deities.” Zed, who is president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, argued that reimagining Hindu scriptures and deities for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it hurts the devotees. Sony has not, as of yet, officially commented on the issue.
