After announcing the answer, Manusmriti, Big B stated that Ambedkar condemned it as it justified caste discrimination, which did not go down well with a section of people.

An FIR has been registered against Amitabh Bachchan and the makers of Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 in Lucknow for hurting religious sentiments. On Friday's Karamveer episode, social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anup Soni were on the hot seat.


One of the questions asked was that on December 25, 1927, Dr BR Ambedkar and his followers burnt copies of which scripture? After announcing the answer, Manusmriti, Amitabh Bachchan also said that "In 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar condemned the ancient Hindu text Manusmriti to ideologically justify caste discrimination and untouchability and he also burned copies of it."


However, the question did not go well with the netizens as several users started accusing the show of running the "leftists propaganda", while others blamed it for "hurting Hindu sentiments". Amitabh Bachchan also shared a post on social media with a few poetic lines written by his dad Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
