Kshatriya Parishad Objects to Ajay Devgn's 'Chauhaan' Over Rajput Identity ConcernsPreviousNext

Ajay Devgn's upcoming film 'Chauhaan,' directed by Neeraj Yadav, has sparked controversy after the Kshatriya Parishad accused the makers of appropriating the Rajput Chauhan clan name for contemporary communal and political purposes. The organisation condemned the use of Rajput history as a political tool, calling it irresponsible and disrespectful, and urged filmmakers and political actors to engage responsibly with historical identities.
