India’s film censors have ordered that a documentary about the economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen be altered to remove words including “Hindu” “India” and “cow”, the director has said.
The film, which explores the sexuality and struggles of four women in small-town India, was later cleared for release on appeal.
The censor board has not only been accused of political bias.
Sen has declined to comment extensively, saying only: “If the government has any reservations, there can be dialogue.”
