NEW YORK, NEW YORK, September 25, 2002: Some Hindus have expressed concern about the screening of the film, “Saffron Warriors,” scheduled for Barnard College of Columbia University, 3009 Broadway, New York, NY, Room 304, Barnard Hall, at 6:00 pm on September 27. The 23-minute film by Elizabeth Jones is described by the college: “The documentary is on Nazi-style politics in Gujarat. It was made two months ago — nearly 4 months after the outbreak of systematic state-sponsored violence against Muslims in this western state of India. It looks at the rise of Hindu fundamentalism and its repercussions on ordinary people. It also examines the impact of RSS on the future of Indian people through the eyes of those trapped in refugee camps, business men and middle class families.”
