A radical Hindu organization claimed that the names of two lions at a West Bengal zoo offended their religious feelings, so an Indian court ordered the zoo to rename the animals.
The lion was named Akbar after the Mughal emperor of the 16th century, while the lioness was named after the Hindu goddess Sita, according to bbc. Vishwa Hindu Parishad challenged this, saying that naming the lioness after a goddess was blasphemous
