Divya  Delhi:   Anurag Kashyap never minces words. He has established himself as cinema's rebel conscience, challenging, questioning, and poking holes in the status quo. I expect candor from him, and his films have always been disruptive in the greatest manner. Expect disruption. But now you also expect social media aftershocks. His recent dispute concerning Brahmins and the furious replies it sparked feels more like a demolition derby than a discourse. Although chaotic, there is a kernel worth exploring. Phule, starring Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa, is a biography of Mahatma Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule. Kashyap officially supported the film, which aims to illuminate colonial India's anti-caste reformers' fight for education, justice, and equality. Once the preview was aired, caste-privileged people began criticizing it online for fostering "division" or rewriting history. When Santosh, a film about a Dalit woman constable, was selected for Cannes, casteist comments questioned its objective and producers. Incensed by upper-caste fragility disguised as patriotism, Kashyap rants on social media. After years of seeing widespread gatekeeping in the industry and society, he ranted about Brahminical privilege in expletive-filled language.
