I will urinate on Brahmins: director Anurag Kashyap..?!

 Bollywood director anurag kashyap is known for directing different films. Most of his films are in the thriller, suspense, and action genres. He has never shied away from questioning the government on social issues in his films. anurag kashyap, who has directed several hit films like Gangs of Wasseypur, has taken to his social media page to slam the Censor Board and the central government for banning films like punjab 95, Dhadak 2 and Phule. Taking to Instagram, anurag kashyap wrote, “The first play I did in my life was about jyothi and Savitribai Phule. Do they have no place in this country for fighting against caste? Are they ashamed, dying of shame, or are they living in an india where only Brahmins live? Can someone show us – who is the real fool here?” he asked.
He also mentioned that other films like 'Punjab 95', 'Teez', and 'Dhadak 2' that show the atrocities happening in society have also been banned due to the wrath of the censor board. "Similarly, I don't know how many other films that reveal the true face of this caste, regional, communal government have been banned. They are too ashamed to look at their own face in the mirror. They are too ashamed to even talk openly about a film that disturbs them, they are cowards," Kashyap lashed out.
“When ‘Dhadak 2’ was released, the censor board told us that Modiji had abolished the caste system in India. Now, Brahmins are opposing Phule. If there is no caste system, how can you be a Brahmin? Who are you? Why are you working? If there is no caste system, why were Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai there? According to Modiji, if there is no caste system in india, then your Brahmin identity is not there, or everyone is an idiot. Decide once and for all, is there a caste system in india or not? people are not idiots. Are you a Brahmin or a decision-maker? Decide now,” anurag kashyap said. anurag kashyap has also responded to those who questioned Anurag’s comments against Brahmins; he has created a controversy by posting, “I will urinate on Brahmins, what is your problem?”

On april 7, the Central Board of Film Certification asked the makers of 'Phule' to remove some scenes, remove words like 'Maang', 'Mahar', and 'Peshwa' and change the line '3,000 years of slavery' to 'many years of slavery'. Only then was the film given a 'U' certificate. The film was expected to release on april 11. But after the CBFC gave the certificate, the Brahmin community opposed the film. Now it is set to release in theatres on april 25. 'Phule' is based on the lives of social activist Jyotiba Phule and her wife Savitribai Phule, who fought against caste discrimination and women's right to education, including establishing the first girls' school in 1848.
