"Dhruv Rathee Faces Backlash: AI Video on Sikh Gurus Sparks Controversy | SGPC & BJP React"

Описание: Popular YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has come under fire for his AI-generated video titled "The Sikh Warrior Who Terrified the Mughals," which depicted animated representations of Sikh Gurus. The video faced strong objections from Sikh religious bodies, including the Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), as well as political parties like the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Critics argue that visual portrayals of Sikh Gurus violate religious tenets and distort historical facts. Following the backlash, Rathee removed the video from his channel.

Key Points:

SGPC and Akal Takht condemned the video for violating Sikh traditions.

BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa demanded legal action under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code.

Calls for suspension of Rathee’s social media accounts until investigations are complete.

Rathee has not issued a public response as of now.

Copyright Compliance: Use royalty-free images and music, or obtain necessary permissions to avoid copyright strikes.

Legal Awareness: Be aware of local laws, such as Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code, which penalizes deliberate acts intended to outrage religious feelings.
