Mischa Upsets Hindus

If it isn’t Miley Cyrus upsetting some of Asian population, than it is someone else. This time it happens to be Mischa Barton. According to http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com, Mischa has upset Hindus around the world.
When Mischa was in India filming Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain, she wanted to learn to play the sitar, but the only problem is that she could not find a teacher. So she decided to talk about it on her Myspace page.
“I must say my goal coming here was to learn to play the sitar and it’s coming along real slow as apparently it’s not that easy to procure a great sitar teacher here. I guess it’s not (the) late 60s with Ravi Shankar and George Harrison roaming around,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying in Mischa’s Myspace post.
US Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, said: “India has an abundance of great sitar players. If Mischa could not procure a great sitar teacher in India, the chances of finding the teacher outside India would be even slimmer. Her comment was a very immature statement. It mocks the rich musical heritage of India.”
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitar, a sitars is “a plucked stringed instrument predominantly used in Hindustani classical, where it has been ubiquitous in Hindustani classical music since the Middle Ages.”
I am sure that Mischa did her best to try to find a teacher. When you are in a different country things are not as easily found than in which the country you call home.
