LONDON, ENGLAND, March 7, 2002: The National Hindu Students Forum (UK) has launched a petition against the depiction of David, Victoria & Brooklyn Beckham as Lord Siva, Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesh. Their press release from Shrien Dewani states, “This painting caused offense to the society’s members because of the manner in which it appears to mock the importance of Hindu deities and portray the Beckham family as Hindu Gods. This petition is not an attack on the artists or any form of free artistic expression.” Beckham is a famed England footballer.
