Show some Spirit, CFBC

The Central Board of Film Certification (CFBC) has yet again proved its improbity. Its our motivational guru's Documentary Film this time to face the music.

Intended for a good cause, the 29 minute documentary on Reservation, Jaati Todo - Bharat Jodo (Break Caste - Unite India) by Shiv Khera, was allegedly advised 3 cuts, with the Board asking for proof for 2 claims made in the film.

Khera dismisses them by saying, "They want documentary evidence of some of the statements I've made. For example, there's one that says that in 1984 riots, thousands of sikhs were killed. I've gone on to ask whether their lives can be compensated with money. The Censor Board wants a documentary proof of this! The others are equally ridiculous."

This is the level of people in the Censor Board. It can safely be stated that we're not the world's biggest Democracy, we're the world's biggest Hypocrisy...

Its sad to learn that just because of those corrupt politicians India is in such a sorry state, and to add more to the misery, the political heads do not even want these facts to be stated in the documentary.

Mera Bharat Mahaan, Sau mein se Ninyanave Be-Imaan... Jai Hind!

I think that the proof of the statistics should be given as it is a sensitive issue but asking for documentary proof is ridiculous.
