Hindus Call Worldwide Boycott Against Sony Playstation Products

Perturbed over Sony's "Hanuman: Boy Warrior" videogame and further vexed by the stiff-necked attitude of Sony officials, various Hindu groups started a worldwide boycott call against Sony PlayStation products.

Spearheaded by acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who said the Hanuman game "trivializes the highly revered deity of Hinduism.

Besides Hindus, they have also urged other religious/spiritual people/groups of the world also not to buy Sony PlayStation products.

Zed further said that immature handling of the issue by Sony, which is said to be a socially responsible and ethical corporation, saddened them. He also urged Sony to create a high-level check system so that denigrations like this did not happen in the future.

According to Shinde, Hindu leaders communicated their displeasure to Sony and tried to resolve the issue through discussions, but the callous attitude of Sony officials frustrated their efforts, leaving them with no other alternative except the boycott call

I think that lord Hanuman is holy in India and for Hindus. I also think cultural issues are very critical in video games and important. Any company should examine their games for contend which could offend religious groups.
