**Mumbai, India** – Film director and actor Anurag Kashyap has once again ignited a firestorm of controversy, this time with inflammatory comments targeting the Brahmin community. Kashyap’s remarks followed his earlier criticism of the censor board’s delay in releasing the film “Phule,” a biopic on social reformers Jyotiba and Savitribai Phule.
Kashyap expressed his frustration over the film’s delayed release, allegedly due to objections from Maharashtrian Brahmin groups, in a lengthy Instagram post. In this post, he questioned the existence of casteism in India, citing a censor board member’s claim that Prime Minister Modi had abolished the caste system. He further questioned the legitimacy of Brahmin objections to the film in light of this claim.
However, it was a subsequent comment, in response to criticism of his initial post, that sparked the most outrage. Kashyap’s response, which included a vulgar remark about the Brahmin community, has gone viral and drawn widespread condemnation. Many users have criticized his language and tone.
Prior to this, Kashyap had also posted about the censorship of several films, including “Phule,” alleging that the government was blocking films that exposed its casteist, regionalist, and racist agendas. He questioned the process by which certain groups influence censorship decisions.
This incident follows Kashyap’s previous criticism of the censor board and Prime Minister Modi. His latest comments have raised significant debate on social media, with many calling for accountability for his controversial statements. The incident also highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding caste and censorship in India.
