Dinkoism

Dinkoism is a parody religion that places Dinkan, a comic character from Malayalam Children's magazine Balamangalam, as the one true God and the creator of the Universe. It is very similar to pastafarianism that worships The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Dinkoism was organized by some Independent social welfare groups of Kerala, India as a means to mock blind faith and creatively criticise religious intolerance. It had its origins in the social media.
Balamangalam is considered to be the holy scripture of Dinkoism. Dinkoists often quote actual or made-up dialogues from the Dinkan comic story in Balamangalam as a means to prove the existence of Dinkan and understand the philosophy of Dinkoism.
News
On 30 January 2016 a group of Dinkoists, under the banner of 'Mooshikasena'(Rat army) held a mock protest in front of 'Dhe Puttu' restaurant owned by popular Malayalam actor Dileep alleging that his upcoming film 'Professor Dinkan' hurt their 'religious sentiments'. It was a mockery on similar protests happening worldwide.
Earlier Dinkoism was in news when an NRI Dinkoist from California had obtained a licence plate with the inscription DINKAN for his car, out of his 'devotion' for Dinkan.
