CBFC clamps down on Dalit references in Noor

Is Dalit a banned word? The censor board seems to think so. All references to the Dalit community have been asked to be removed from Sunhil Sippy s Noor, a goofy zany fun-filled look at girl s journey through the world of investigative journalism.

Says a source close to the development, The CBFC has asked for the all references to the Dalit community to be removed as it invokes a reference to the caste system. The word Dalit has therefore been muted from Noor wherever it occurs.

References to a liquor brand have also been asked to be removed from Noor. More weirdly, a reference to a sex toy has been found to be objectionable and asked to be removed.

Says a source, Sonakshi Sinha s character was just having some harmless fun. The censor board wants sex toy to be replaced by adult site . They probably feel sex toys are only used by those who watch porn.

Porn jaye par vachan na jaye.
