Women’s rights activists demand ban on song from film ‘KD: The Devil’ Women’s rights activists and organizations have called for a ban on a song from the film KD: The Devil, starring actor Dhruva Sarja, citing its explicit lyrics and alleged promotion of a demeaning view of women. The controversy has sparked outrage among groups like the All India Mahila Sanskriti Sanghatan (AIMSS) and the AIDYO organization, which have condemned the song’s content as offensive and harmful. The song, which begins with the line “Sarse Sarse Ninna Seraga Sarse,” has been criticized for encouraging a degrading perception of women, according to activists. Advocate M.N. Sumana, farmers’ activist Sunanda Jayaram, and other members of the Karnataka State Anti-Women Atrocities Federation’s coordination committee have argued that the lyrics objectify women, portraying them as “a commodity for sale” and reducing their value to mere pleasure. A statement from the women’s activists accused the censor board of negligence, claiming that such content should not be released without scrutiny. They emphasized that the song’s release at a time of rising crimes against women and children is particularly concerning. The AIMSS Mysuru district committee further criticized the censor board for failing to prevent the song’s approval, stating that its release “surely doesn’t bode well” for societal attitudes. AIDYO’s Mysuru district committee echoed similar concerns, demanding an immediate ban on the “vulgar and double-meaning song” and calling for strict action against those responsible. The statement condemned director Prem and the film team for creating “low-quality” content while also criticizing the governments and censor board for their failure to address such issues.#prem #all_india_mahila_sanskriti_sanghatan #aidyo #dhruva_sarja #karnataka_state_anti_women_atrocities_federation
