Why is certification and censorship such a touchy issue?
We are talking about an India which is very complex. Take the case of Bow Barracks Forever, where I got a letter from the Anglo-Indian Association complaining about the depiction of the Anglo-Indian community. I have read the script and I am aware of the screenplay, but some people saw just the negative side or rather chose to look at it negatively. There was so much protest. Sometimes, these issues are exploited by vested interest groups.
