J.K. Rowling‘s new book has offended a popular South Asian religion group.
The people are not happy with the book because the book portrays a Sikh girl as “mustachioed yet large-mammaried.”
A spokesperson for the book has said:
“Sikh believers, including women, are refrained from shaving and trimming their hair. This is a part of our faith and anyone making offensive remarks about it is directly hurting the sentiments of Sikh community.”
They carried on in saying that the book would be read by the leader and said:
“If deemed derogatory to the Sikh faith, we will demand a ban on it. We will make sure it doesn’t sell in India.”
J.K. publisher has gave a statement:
“It is quite clear in the text of the book that negative thoughts, actions and remarks made by a character, Fats, who is bullying Sukhvinder, are his alone. When described in the narrative voice, the depiction of Sukhvinder is quite different to this.”

‘I would love to write with her – her voice is incredible. She has the whole world in her hands.’
Danny also talked about how he loved working with other judge will.i.am on the hit song Hall of Fame:
”It was awesome. I’ve been a fan of his and The Black Eyed Peas for over ten years,” he said.
“When I got The Voice I was really excited about befriending him. He’s all about the music, like me, and not pretentious. He loves our band too, so that’s really cool.
‘The collaboration with will.i.am has opened up a lot of doors for us. Tinie [Tempah] has been down to the studio; we just haven’t come up with the right song yet.”
