Vivek Agnihotri Rejects Oxford Union Debate on Kashmir, Calls Topic Anti-India

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has declined an invitation to participate in a debate on Kashmir organized by the prestigious Oxford Union, citing that the theme of the debate was "offensive" and "anti-India." Agnihotri, known for his strong nationalist views, expressed disappointment with the framing of the debate topic, which he believes undermines India’s stance on the Kashmir issue.

Agnihotri took to social media to voice his concerns, calling the theme disrespectful to India and its sovereignty. He argued that platforms like the Oxford Union should encourage balanced and informed discussions rather than promote narratives that, according to him, perpetuate anti-India sentiments.

The filmmaker's decision has sparked a discussion on social media, with many supporting his move, while others believe that he missed an opportunity to present India's perspective on a global platform. Despite the backlash, Agnihotri remains firm in his stance, stating that he will not engage in debates that he perceives to be biased against India.

The Oxford Union has not commented on Agnihotri’s decision, but the event continues to attract attention due to the controversy surrounding it.
