1. Such a film may not be made in India, largely due to fear from islamic fundamentalists. The kinds of Maulana Tahiri shown in the film and the stupid people he brainwashes abound here in India, too. However, you cannot make such a film because not only will the government not protect the makers, they may arrest the makers on charges of fomenting violence. This is done to cater to what we call a vote-bank - a community that votes not on the basis of issues but on the basis of diktats from their religious heads - the likes of maulana tahiri.
2. Several films in India openly make fun of Hindus, Hinduism, Hindu religious symbols and political parties sympathetic to Hindus. This is very common and enjoyed by Hindu audiences. One film, Rang de Basanti had a subplot of showing the "sangh pariwaar" in a poor light of corruption and violence, which may not be true but people enjoyed that movie as well. Strangely in India, movies generally show muslims to be patriotic and hindus to be traitors. If you disagree with me, please provide evidence to the contrary.
3. I don't think you know Bajrang Dal. They did nothing close to what Hitler did.
I personally don't like BD because I feel they just rake up issues for power gain and possibly money. However, the RSS (a self-help organisation that believes in hinduism but that helps even muslims in calamities where muslim leaders are found wanting in action) and BJP (its political party entity which is not very close to RSS in actuality) have done nothing of the sort you claim.
4. Hindu terror - much as this is an oxymoron and a laughable at concept, I don't expect people believing in Judaic religions to be able to understand Indic religions. Indic religions are not based on hatred and groupism based on who you claim to be with or what symbols you claim to espouse. Hinduism is a collection of wisdom over several ages. Some of hinduism would simply mean the common culture of a place. Although many hindus have become ritualistic, it doesn't mean hinduism is a religion made of rituals (like Judaic religions). Since hinduism does not believe in hatred and groupism but is rather a set of "common sense" advice, it need not resort to force to make others believe it. In fact, technically, one CANNOT CONVERT TO HINDUISM. So, where is the question of terror?
