Reservation is a sensitive issue in this country. And any argument on the matter will lead to controversy, if not public protest. Prakash Jha and his team are courting just that with what is happening in Lucknow right now. The cast of the soon-to-release Aarakshan, led by the director, planned to stage a grand show in the city, with a debate on caste-based reservations in Indian society. Permissions had been granted and everything was ready; Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Manoj Bajpayee and Prateik were headed to Lucknow to participate. Now the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh has taken back the permits and refused to allow the event to take place, on the grounds of “apprehension of breach of peace”.
