A post shared by Rajamouli on his social media wall way back in 2012 has emerged once again and it is now used against Rajamouli to brand him as casteist and racist. It’s quite funny that that post is used to prove that Rajamouli indeed judges people by their skin color.
In the post, Rajamouli talked about the four varnas aka Brahmins, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas and Sudras and said it is according to their actions they came under different castes, not by birth. But, the present allegation is linked with the characters in ‘Baahubali‘.
It sounds quite funny to think that all the fair-skinned in ‘Baahubali’ played the lead roles as Kshatriyas, the dusky skinned people as tribes and villains with dark skins as Kalakeyas. But, they forgot that the main villain Bhallaladeva is also fair-skinned.
If Rajamouli means to say that all fair-skinned are heroes and dark skinned as villains, then why was Bhallaladeva made the villain?
