On July 2nd, a tweet that showed the Hindu goddess Kali smoking a cigarette and holding a Pride flag sparked rage in India. Leena Manimekalai, an Indian-born Toronto-based director, had tweeted a picture of her film poster for her "performance documentary" that was to be debuted at the Aga Khan Museum. The tweet resulted in #ArrestLeenaManimekalai trending on Twitter in India. Leena was subsequently trolled by tens of thousands of Hindu extremists, facing thousands of graphic threats, and members of her crew were doxxed. Even the High Commission of India at Ottawa issued a condemnation and stated, "We urge the Canadian authorities and the event organizers to withdraw all such provocative material." Both the Aga Khan Museum and Toronto Metropolitan University, through which Leena was pursuing a fellowship, issued statements apologizing for the offense and revoked the film screenings. Speaking to the BBC, Manimekalai explained that her film depicts the goddess Kali as a champion of humanity and embraces diversity. "As a poet and filmmaker, I embody Kali in my own independent vision," she said.
