Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says the main purpose of literature and cinema is to provoke people to question things. "In our society we have this perception regarding music, literature or cinema, that the thing which provoke you are wrong. Contrary to which, the main aim of cinema or literature is to provoke the audience.
"I feel cinema should be something which can provoke you and not let you sleep. We can't be dancing around and entertaining 24 hours. There are a lot of things which affect me and I can't keep them inside me," Kashyap said while addressing a session at the Sahitya AajTak event in New Delhi recently.
The filmmaker said Indians are conditioned to be obedient and not question things. "We are conditioned to be an obedient herd. If as a kid you ask questions about sex or religion you are scolded. I grew up in Benaras and we are brought up with a mindset which is full of hierarchy and caste system. We are infused with all this," he said.
