Censor Board objects to words such as 'cow', 'Gujarat', 'Hindutva' in a documentary featuring Amartya Sen
The documentary is directed by national award winning filmmaker Suman Ghosh.
Regarding the directives provided by the censor board, Ghosh told NDTV: "I was quite shaken. I was shocked but I thought, I have to argue."
"The film was my comment on India. I feel disheartened because I wanted to convey certain thoughts and they are trying to stifle it," he added.
Sen, who will be seen in the film, earlier refused to make any comment, considering himself just a subject of the film.
The documentary was made by Ghosh over 15 years and was screened in Kolkata on July 10. It was screened in London and New York also.
