The havoc was created after Amitabh Bachchan asked a question related to Manusmirti in the Karamveer episode.
Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC 12) began its new season on September 29 and every episode of the show is infotainment at best. However, over the weekend the show got itself into a controversy over a question.
The havoc was created after Amitabh Bachchan asked a question related to Manusmirti in the Karamveer episode. The episode saw social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anoop Soni came as guests.
The question for Rs 6,40,000 was, On 25 December 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar and his followers burned copies of which scripture? The options given were, a) Vishnu Purana, b) Bhagavad Gita, c) Rigdev, and d) Manusmriti.
After answering the question, Amitabh Bachchan also said that "In 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar condemned the ancient Hindu text Manusmriti to ideologically justify caste discrimination and untouchability and he also burned copies of it."
However, the question did not go well with the netizens as several users started accusing the show of running the "leftists propaganda", while others blamed it for "hurting Hindu sentiments". An FIR was also lodged against Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and its host Amitabh Bachchan in Lucknow.
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri also shared a clip from the KBC show on the micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote, "KBC has been hijacked by Commies. Innocent kids, learn this is how culture wars are win. It’s called coding."
