Canada-India deadlock THREATENS Diljit Dosanjh's Upcoming Blockbusters! Will These Movies Be Affected?
The cancellation of Canadian rapper Shubh's India concert is likely to have far-reaching repercussions for cultural events and content of films pertaining to Punjab and the Sikh community. This is because India's war against separatism has reached Canada, and the Indian government is likely to scrutinize such content even more closely.

Diljit Dosanjh, a popular Punjabi actor and singer, is likely to be particularly affected by this. He is currently starring in two films that deal with sensitive topics: 'Ghallughara', a biopic on human-rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, and 'Chamkila,' based on the life of singer Amar Singh Chamkila who was slain at the age of 28. Both films are likely to undergo an even more rigorous scrutiny than they already have, and may not make it to the screen at all.
This is a worrying development for freedom of expression and artistic expression. It is important that artists are able to tell stories about all aspects of society, even if they are controversial. The Indian government should not be allowed to censor content simply because it does not agree with it.
