Kamal Haasan’s Sanatan Dharma Remarks Ignite Political Firestorm
Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan finds himself at the center of a heated political debate following his recent remarks on Sanatan Dharma. His statement, suggesting that education can dismantle autocracy and traditional systems like Sanatan Dharma, has sparked outrage among members of the BJP.
BJP Calls for Boycott of Kamal Haasan’s Films
The BJP has vehemently condemned Haasan’s remarks, characterizing them as an attack on Hindu beliefs. The party has called for a complete boycott of the actor’s films, urging the public to express their disapproval at the box office. This call for a boycott has further intensified the ongoing controversy.
Haasan’s Statement on Education and Social Change
Haasan’s original statement emphasized the importance of education as a tool for social change. He argued that education empowers individuals to question established norms and challenge oppressive systems. While he did not explicitly define Sanatan Dharma, his linking it with autocracy has been interpreted by some as a critique of traditional Hindu practices and beliefs.
