So #SardarUdhamSingh has been rejected for oscars list for projecting hatred against britishers in the era of globalization.

By that sense every american film made against racism should also be rejected for “projecting” hatred against americans by showing their racist history.
Bigoted slave mentality at its best.... It's shameful that these dogs n bootlickers occupy every other big post in this country.... These idiots r the sole reason for our downfall#SardarUdhamSingh https://t.co/E9D0cETeUU

So,#SardarUdhamSingh didn't make it as India's Oscars entry as it apparently projects "hatred" of British.

Well, truth is often unpalatable. We will no longer whitewash colonial crimes. And we will tell our stories our way, on our terms, not theirs.https://t.co/FXhPwTge44 pic.twitter.com/BBSPnQGQT8

She wasn't aware Bhagat Singh was an atheist,She thought he fought chanting "Jai Shree Ram"
She wasn't aware that Leftist Udham Singh went all the way to London to avenge Jallianwala massacre..

It was obvious that the movie which speaks the truth won't be allowed...
But no matter how hard they try , the truth shall prevail ❤️
And what's real will prosper ❤️#SardarUdhamSingh ❤️

So Indian kids lathered in poop, begging and fending for themselves in Slumdog Millionaire is more palatable as a representation of Indians. But a realistic depiction of the horrifying acts of British imperialism on our country is problematic? #SardarUdham pic.twitter.com/tQwpYFZ79o

The Jury had rejected the movie #SardarUdham as an official entry to Oscar 2020 as "It projects hatred towards the British" !

Unbelivable ...A film on Udham Singh and Bhagat Singh and they expect what..to show some bhaichara to the British Rule?
So #SardarUdham movie is rejected for Oscar nomination because "the movie projects too much hat!red against the British."

But #SlumdogMillionaire movie won Oscars because it had shown India in very good light. Everywhere hypocrisy only.
Showing Indian poverty can win Oscars. But showing British treatment towards Indians cannot be even considered for Oscar's. Hats off to your loyic Mr Dasgupta#SardarUdham
