Netizens are objecting to Hotstar series ‘The Empire’, and they are accusing the makers of ‘glorifying’ the Islamic invader Babur. The Empire starring Shabana Azmi, Drashti Dhami, Dino Morea, Kunal Kapoor, Aditya Seal, Sahher Bambba, Rahul Dev and others. It is directed by Mitakshara Kumar and is bankrolled by Nikkhil Advani, and it shows the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire and Babur’s dynasty. After watching The Empire, the people are expressing their anger over the ‘wrong portrayal of Babur’ which led to the trend – hashtag #BanTheEmpireSeries on Twitter. Few comments by the netizens on twitter are as follows:
Ganesh Dhuri: t is worth mentioning that ‘The Empire’ is being described as the most expensive and grand web series in the country. Shabana Azmi, Kunal Kapoor, Dino Morea, Drishti Dhami and Rahul Dev will be seen in the lead roles in this film #BanTheEmpireSeries
Priyanka Bhopale: #BanTheEmpireSeries Today, the young generation should be given an ideal of pious and mighty kings like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap! But what are you doing, what role model are you setting for today’s youth @DisneyPlusHS @MIB_India @Ramesh_hjs @SG_HJS
Sumathi: @MIB_India made talked about how Babur being responsible for killing and forced religious conversion of lakhs of Hindus as well as the subsequent demolishing of the temple and construction of a mosque in his name over the same land is what is hurtful…. #BanTheEmpireSeries
Nagesh: In The Emperor series an attempt has been made to show how good Babar &the Mughals BUT There is no mention of the atrocities carried out by Babur In Babur’s Time Millions of Hindus were slaughtered Several temples were destroyed #BanTheEmpireSeries @ianuragthakur @MIB_India
Supaana: OTT platform Hotstar has rejected grievance complaints against its series ‘The Empire’ on Babur which dramatises the Mughal invader, claiming that it is based on an adaptation of a novel, Empire of the Moghul. #BanTheEmpireSeries @MIB_India
Sanatan: It is disgraceful to glorify Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur, who founded the Mughal empire that plundered, harassed, and massacred lakhs of Hindus Talibani actions are a live reminder of how such invaders capture territories & treat citizens India should #BanTheEmpireSeries unitedly.
