It seems that whenever Kangana Ranaut gets called out for something she said or did, she just can’t help but dig herself into a deeper hole. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that she did something similar, again.

Recently, Kangana Ranaut made some rather disturbing claims, saying that India attained freedom, not in 1947, but only in 2014, and that up until then, all of us were basically slaves. She also went on to say something along the lines of that the freedom we got in 1947 was given to us as alms.

Obviously, this did not go well with a lot of people, and she was brutally trolled for her statements. In fact, several prominent political leaders and ministers condemned her words, and demanded that she should be stripped of the Padma Shri that she was recently awarded.

Taking to Instagram, Kangana defended her comments, in a rather bizarre manner. Here, take a look.

Basically, what she says is that there was a battle for freedom in 1857, but there weren’t any wars or battles for freedom in 1947. She also goes on to say that it was becoming increasingly difficult for the British to sustain themselves in India, and were weak during 1947, because of World War II.

She further goes on to say that it was the Congress which received independence from the British in a “begging bowl,” whereas the right wing (her words, not ours) were ready to fight them and take it. And oh, by the way, that begging bit she mentioned in her interview? It did not pertain to all freedom fighters, but to a select few.

Also, isn’t it convenient that sometimes, diplomacy and working within a framework, becomes begging, and how sometimes begging, especially for forgiveness and one’s jail sentence to be reduced, becomes diplomacy, and “carefully thought out tactics”?

Keeping aside the historical fallacies and false narratives that she is spewing on her platform especially about Mahatma Gandhi, she did find a way to blame Jawaharlal Nehru for the words she chose, while not failing to remind everyone that she did play the character of a freedom fighter.

Besides, even if she is proven wrong at a public forum, she is not going to give her award back up. That would make her a part of the Award Wapsi gang, wouldn’t it?

People on twitter jumped at this opportunity to troll her again, and this time around, they were quite brutal.

What kind of lunatics are given these awards now ? Her views are not the views of a nation. This is shameful and hateful. How can this lady be even given this award ? A known druggie and a witchcraft specialist

Asking such idiotic question itself amounts to her disqualification to have that award.

I ask #kanganaranuat what weapon was used in the 2014 war.
How many deaths have you seen or tweeted or talked about through press conferences?
Did all Indians celebrate after winning the war in 2014?
What was the role of 'Rani Lakshmi Bai' in the 2014 war on which side?

Seriously, can someone please give her a few history textbooks? Please? Oh, BTW, if someone from her team is reading this, there was no battle or war for freedom in 2014 as well.
