anurag kashyap, who has been receiving backlash on social media for his divisive and disparaging comments about the Brahmin caste, apologized on friday for his offensive remark. Despite his apologies, the director seemed more unapologetic than remorseful, and he continued to question the community about "sanskar" (teachings).
Following a furious dispute on social media in which the director made derogatory remarks regarding the Brahmin community, Kashyap found himself at the center of a significant scandal. "I will p*ss on Brahmins," he retorted. Is there an issue? ( "Brahmin pe main moo****ga, koi problem?" ).
The director's remarks stirred widespread outrage with many calling for his arrest for insulting the Brahmin community.
After a backlash erupted on social media, anurag kashyap in another post said, "Jawab toh sab ne padh liya.. outrage bhi kar hi rahe haain… aag laga rakhi hai. Context bhi dekh likh lo darpokon... saari zindagi shastron ke peeche chhupe rehne waali sabse aalsi log jo kuchh pate ka kaam nahin karte sirf doosron ko neecha dikha ke, khud ko bada bolte hain. Mere liye to bhai tum log ch*****e hi rahoge."
As the issue grew, the director posted another message in which he apologized for the one line that was taken out of context rather than for his inflammatory statement.
Anurag Kashyap apologized in a long essay, but he also made fun of the Brahmin culture, writing, "Brahmin people, please spare women." This level of politeness is even taught in the Bible. Although Kashyap said he was sorry, he would not retract his remarks.
"This is my apology not for my post but for that one line taken out of context and the brewing hatred," anurag kashyap stated when sharing the image on Instagram. Nothing you say or do is worth your daughter, family, friends, and coworkers being raped and threatened with death by the Sanskar kingpins."
"I will not retract what has been stated, and it cannot be undone. But abuse me if you want to abuse someone. My family doesn't say anything anymore, and they never did. This is my way of saying I'm sorry if you need it. Don't bother the women, Brahmins. This level of decency is taught in all the texts, not only Manusmriti. Choose your Brahmin identity. I apologize for the rest.
(So kahi hui baat wapis nahin li ja sakti aur na loonga lekin mujhe jo gaali dena hai do. Mere parivaar ne na kuchh kaha hai na kahta hai. Isliye agar mujhse maafi hi chaahiye to ye meri apology hai. Brahmin log, auraton ko baksh do, itna sanskar to shastron mein bhi hai, sirf manuwaad mein nahin hai. Aap kaun se Brahmin ho tay kar lo. Baaki meri taraf se maafi)," anurag kashyap shared this note on Instagram.
How it began?
The entire incident started when director anurag kashyap asked why certain scenes in Ananth Mahadevan's upcoming film Phule, which is based on social reformers Jyotirao Govindrao Phule and his wife Savitribai Phule, were causing the Brahmin community to object. A lengthy letter endorsing Mahadevan's new endeavor had been posted by Kashyap.
After the Brahmin community objected, Phule, which was originally set for distribution on april 11, is now set for release on april 25.
