BANGALORE: Intolerance has a face that is a poor caricature of
religious faith. Intolerant Hindutva elements now have found a new
enemy in world-renowned comedian and human being par
excellence Charlie Chaplin, and are opposing plans for a
statue of his claiming he was a Christian and they cannot tolerate
his statue. But Kannada film actor-director Hemant Hegde is
determined to have a statue of his idol Charlie Chaplin installed on
the west coast of Karnataka. He has already met chief secretary
Sudhakar Rao to seek permission for erecting the statue either at Om
Beach, near Karwar, 520 km northwest of the state capital, or at
Devbagh, 550 km northwest of Bangalore. Both places are on the coast
in the Uttara Kannada district. He wants the statue for his film but
ran into opposition from locals who claimed there was a temple in
the village and they cannot permit Chaplin’s statue built in
Paduvari village as he was a Christian. That Chaplin was never known
to have been a believer in religion did not matter.
