Actor Kangana Ranaut has joined the bandwagon of Indians who have been offended by Vir Das' monologue on India.?
In the six-minute video, Vir talks about the duality of the country and mentions some of the most topical issues India is facing, from its battle against COVID-19, incidents of rapes, a crackdown against comedians, to the farmers' protests.?
¡°I come from an India where we worship women during the day and gang-rape them during the night."?
She wrote:?
¡°When you generalise all Indian men as gang-rapists, it gives rise and encouragement to racism and bullying against Indians all over the world...after Bengal Famine Churchill famously said, ¡®These Indians breed like rabbits they are bound to die like this...¡¯ he blamed Indians¡¯ sex drive/fertility for the death of millions because of hunger... Such creative work targeting an entire race is soft terrorism... strict actions must be taken against such criminals @virdas.¡±?
On Monday, Vir had uploaded a video on YouTube titled ¡®I come from two India¡¯, which was a part of his recent performance at the John F Kennedy Centre in Washington DC.
?Vir shared a clarification on the same in a Twitter post on Tuesday. Read his clarification here.? ?
