Upendra Bharti | HENB | Mumbai | June 20, 2023:: With toeing the sentiment of millions of devotees of Lord Hanuman, Manoj Muntashir, who is a co-writer and lyricist of Adipurush, recently defended the lines he wrote for Devdatta Nage’s character of Bajrang (Hanuman) in the film. During an interview, Manoj called Hanuman a devotee, and not a god. He added that people made him a god because of the power of his devotion. Muntashir who did not find any weight in Shukla, now reached his conclusion that Lord Hanuman is not a God. Manoj Muntashir said that people made Lord Hanuman God. Now, his comment has drawn criticism from social media users with the hope to find that ‘Lord Hanuman will make him understand how is the most powerful God.’

Lord Hanuman also called Maruti, Bajrangabali, and is a Hindu god and a divine vanara companion of the god Rama. Hanuman is one of the central characters of the Hindu epic Ramayana. He is an ardent devotee of Rama and one of the Chiranjeevi (immortal identity). Hanuman is regarded to be the spiritual son of the wind-god Vayu, who in several stories played a direct role in Hanuman’s birth.Hanuman is considered to be an anshvatara (partial-incarnation) of Lord Shiva. Hanuman is mentioned in several other texts, such as the epic Mahabharata and the various Puranas.As per Hindu faith, Lord Hanuman is considered as the epitome of Wisdom, Strength, Courage, Devotion, and Self-Discipline and the highest symbol of Surrender to his Master.

But going to the faith and feelings of millions of Hindus, in an interview with AajTak, Muntashir said, “Woh (Bajrangbali) Shri Ram ki tarah baat nahi karte. Bajrangbali daarshanik baatein nahi kartein. Bajrangbali bhagwaan nahi, bhakt hai. Humne unko bhagwaan banaya baad mein kyuki unki bhakti mein wo power tha (He doesn’t talk like Shri Ram. Lord Hanuman doesn’t talk in a philosophical manner. Lord Hanuman is not God but a devotee. We made him God later because his devotion had that power).”

As a reaction, a section of the people who watched the film pointed out and condemned the oversimplified language used by the characters, especially Bajrang meant for Lord Hanuman. It was criticized heavily for its pedestrian language resembling to some slang. Manoj then shared a tweet stating that several lines in Adipurush will be revised and added to the film within this week as a strategy to run the film without hampering its business success.

As of now, several clips of the interview were shared online and people severely criticized him. A person said, “He is just making it worse by every word he is saying.” “Can we ban him for good, by going to the news channels, he is damaging the sentiments more,” read a comment. “There is a difference between saral bhasha (simple language) and tapori bhasha (street language) and he knows that very well!”

“This guy is making it worse. Bhai tu chup hi rhe thode din (Keep quiet for a few days),” said a Twitter user. “Omg, I can’t believe this man is still not accepting his faults. It hurts. He is defending himself everywhere. He has written such dialogues intentionally,” read a tweet.

Taking his Twitter handle, Upananda Brahmachari, the editor of Hindu Existence expressed his concern as, “#BanAdipurush #BoycottAdipurush Now, Internet reacts to Adipurush’s @manojmuntashir claiming ‘Hanuman bhagwaan nahi hai’. This guy is making it worse than ever. He lost his senses. Lord Hanuman will make him understand how is the most powerful God. Jai Shri Ram. Jai Hanuman!“

Recently, the Mumbai Police provided security to Manoj after he cited a threat to his life. As per news agency PTI, police intensified patrolling near his Mumbai office and adequate security has been also provided at his residence. “We have received an application from Manoj Shukla and we are providing him security following a threat to his life,” the official said as quoted by PTI, adding that police are investigating the threat angle. But, it is easy to get rid of the curse of millions of Hindu devotees who are tremendously hurt by the Muntashir through his planned attack of Hindu Dharma by belittling the character of Lord Hanuman in the fuss of street slang.

Many Hindu organisations demanded the ban on Adipurush including an unconditional apology by the Script Writer, Director, Dialogue Maker, and the Cast of the film with a revised edition of the same after removing all the objections raised in the row.

Unless Manoj Muntashir Shukla changes his aggressive role to downplay Hindu sentiments, the bad days are ahead with him, as speculated by the experts.
