Suman Ghosh, a National Award-winning filmmaker and a professor of development economics at Florida Atlantic University, first bumped into censorship troubles with his documentary on Amartya Sen,
The Argumentative Indian. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) â or the âCensor Boardâ â in Kolkata suggested six cuts (âGujaratâ, âin Indiaâ, âHinduâ, âcowâ, âthese daysâ, and âHindutvaâ). Ghosh appealed the decision, met with the CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi, and the film was cleared with one cut (âGujaratâ).
