	The FTII students have been boycotting classes, abandoning academic work in protest against Chauhan, who according to them does not have “vision and knowledge” to lead the premiere institution of film-making. 
 

	Nakul Singh Sahani, an independent film-maker and FTII alumnus, said: “The students were holding a peaceful protest outside the ministry at Shastri Bhawan when they were dragged by police and arrested. We came here to arrive at a conclusion and want a fresh selection of a chairman and some governing council members of the institute. We also want a transparent system where we could know how these appointments were done.”
 <keyword id="2933028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Cinematographer-Saurabh-Vishwakarma">Cinematographer Saurabh Vishwakarma</keyword>, who passed out from FTII in 2004, said: “It is a prestigious institution and the post of the chairman is not one that can be offered to anyone. If a person has achieved eminence in his field and his work has been recognized, then it adds to his credentials. Such person can be appointed as is its head.” 

	Sahani passed out from the Pune-based institute in 2006. He said: “Chauhan has zero credential to be the chairman. The TV actor was appointed as he is associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and not because of his depth of knowledge.”
 

	Moreover, there are some members in the FTII governing council who have been selected due to their closeness to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he said, asking “do they have any idea about film-making, script writing or can they teach students or plan their syllabus and conduct workshops”.
 “Chauhan doesn’t have the required experience to run the top most institute of film-making, which enjoys certain credibility in India and abroad. How will he lead the institution,” asked Aditi Sharma, film-maker and owner of <keyword id="2933027" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Apple-Box-Films">Apple Box Films</keyword>.

	This type of political interference is not new to institutions of higher learning in India, Sharma said, adding IITs and IIMs are also its victims. 
 

	Thousands of students sit for the test and compete to get an entry in FTII, said Himanshu Prajapati, second year student of film direction. “People like Chauhan will destroy the credibility of the institute,” he said.

FTII row: students arrested in Delhi for protesting against Gajendra Chauhan’s appointment

In the past few days many celebrities have raised their voice against the appointment of TV actor <keyword id="258297" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Gajendra-Chauhan">Gajendra Chauhan</keyword> as the <keyword id="2898983" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="FTII-chairman">FTII chairman</keyword>. Now film-maker <keyword id="30014" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Vivek-Agnihotri">Vivek Agnihotri</keyword>, whose political satire ‘Buddha In A Traffic Jam’ recently won the Best Original Screenplay in a foreign language award at the Madrid International Film Festival, has extended full support to FTII students. Pointing towards the qualification of Chauhan, he told Business Insider (BI) that “one can’t give a chance to a raw pilot to fly a Dreamliner and an intern to do a bypass surgery on a patient.” The controversy is very far from over; the students of the prestigious <keyword id="129188" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Film-and-Television-Institute-of-India">Film and Television Institute of India</keyword> (FTII) have been agitating for over 30 days and have declared that they would continue to protest against <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword> member Chauhan’s appointment as the new head of the governing council. 

	Agnihotri, who directed movies such as ‘Hate Story’, and ‘Chocolate’, ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’, told BI: “Chauhan is not qualified for this job. I don’t care what movies he has done or their quality. What matters is that he has no track record, views, and above all vision for cinema.”
 

	Chauhan, who played the role of 'Yudhishthir' in popular television serial "Mahabharata", on his part remained unfazed and said he should be given a chance and allowed to work.
 The film-maker, whose wife actor <keyword id="6158" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Pallavi-Joshi">Pallavi Joshi</keyword> has stepped down on July 6 from the <keyword id="2929545" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="FTII-Society">FTII Society</keyword> in an expression of solidarity with students, said: “Chauhan claims he has done over 70 serials. So what? Even a junior artist does over 1,000 films.” Chauhan is not suited for the job, he said. On being asked about the role of the <keyword id="384646" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Information-and-Broadcasting-Ministry">Information and Broadcasting Ministry</keyword> in the controversial appointment, Agnihotri said: “I think I&amp;B authorities underestimated the FTII. They thought it is just an institute with few hundred scholars somewhere in Pune. Who will bother? But it (the decision to appoint Chauhan) boomeranged on them.” 

	He further said the appointment has nothing to do with syllabus or any other administrative issues. “It is about prestige of the institute which, now, everyone unanimously believe will be hampered by Chauhan’s appointment.”
 

	Justifying the strike, he said FTII students are politically more active than engineering or MBA students. In Vivek Agnihotri’s view, an alumnus of Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, the government should not hesitate to change the chairman.
 

	One such change will set the precedence for other institutes and bring the government under pressure, he said, adding: “There will be chaos. It is a complex situation and I am sure sooner or later our pragmatic PM will intervene and find a solution.”

Film-maker Vivek Agnihotri says, you can’t give ‘anyone’ a chance to run FTII

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=rajyavardhan+rathore">Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore</a>, on Monday hit out at Congress party vice-president <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=rahul+gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</a> for giving political colour to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=FTII">FTII</a> strike. 
 
Scion of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, Gandhi, had visited the FTII campus in Pune last week to express solidarity with students, who are agitating against appointment of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=gajendra+chauhan">Gajendra Chauhan</a> as FTII chief. 
 
While addressing protesting students at the prestigious institute, Gandhi assured them of help and also attacked the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=RSS">RSS</a> ideology. He alleged that RSS was systematically promoting "mediocrity" in various institutions. 
 
On Monday, Rathore said that despite meetings and discussions, few students just wanted to go on with the strike. 
 
"And with Rahul Gandhi's Pune visit it has become clear that the strike has taken a political colour or it is a political strike from the beginning," he said. 
 
The students, who held a protest at Jantar Mantar, have been agitating against Chauhan's appointment since June 12. 
 
Many <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=bollywood">Bollywood</a> veterans and actors have come out in support of students. Students say that Gajendra lacks "vision and artistic credentials" to merit the post. 
 
"Students come after the institution, first we will strengthen FTII. The government is open to discussion and students could come for meetings. It is not wise to give a political institution a political angle. And if the institution holds a strike in Delhi and Congress workers participate in it, this too is not wise," Rathore said. 
 
The MoS added that the government had adopted a liberal outlook towards the students and no strong action was taken against students yet considering they are “students”. 
 
Earlier this month, the students body had written to leaders from various political parties requesting them to intervene in the matter.

Will FTII strike soon turn into a political blame game?

 <keyword id="258297" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gajendra-Chauhan">Gajendra Chauhan</keyword>, the chairman of FTII, has not been given the chair of the head of the institute's Academic Council, made for taking important decisions.

Officials also said that the decision has been taken to ensure that the panel has adequate time and space to work on its report, and also that CBFC members, which have in the past been involved in controversies, are kept away from the processes. 
 There is a note on the website of NFDC, which explains the role of the revamp committee, headed by filmmaker <keyword id="29916" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shyam-Benegal">Shyam Benegal</keyword> and including filmmaker <keyword id="38943" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rakeysh-Omprakash-Mehra">Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra</keyword>, advertising professional <keyword id="6375200" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Piyush-Pandey">Piyush Pandey</keyword> and film critic <keyword id="15017" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhawana-Somaaya">Bhawana Somaaya</keyword>. 
 
As of now, the panel is busy collecting inputs from artists in the film industry and NGOs on films. Benegal said that these inputs will be incorporated in the suggestions that would be presented to the government in the first week of March.

Government intervention in resolving Censor Board and FTII rows show positive results

New Delhi, Feb 1 (PTI) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday announced a Rs 3,980.77 crore outlay for the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in the 2022-23 fiscal, a decrease of Rs 90 crore from last year. The allocation to the government's autonomous body Prasar Bharati has been reduced to Rs 2,555.29 crore from Rs 2,640.11 crore allotted to it in the last fiscal. Among other autonomous bodies, the budget for only the Press Council of India was increased from Rs 20 crore in the last fiscal to Rs 27 crore this time. The Films and Television Institute of India (FTII), Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Children's Film Society of India and the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute saw reductions in their budget allocation. For the IIMC, the government has earmarked Rs 52 crore, down from Rs 65 crore allocated for 2021-22. The FTII's budget was reduced from Rs 58.48 crore last year to Rs 55.39 crore this year. In the budget, the allocation for broadcasting under the social services head has gone down from Rs 2,921.11 crore to Rs 2,839.29 crore. There was also a reduction in the budget for 'information and publicity' from Rs 971.26 crore to Rs 942.04 crore. 'Information and publicity' covers establishment expenditure of media units in the country like the Bureau of Outreach and Communication, Press Information Bureau, Publications Division, New Media Wing, Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI), Films Division, National Film Archive of India, Electronic Media Monitoring Centre and others. Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur hailed the budget as "beneficial", saying it was a blueprint to fulfil hopes and aspirations of a new India in the 100th year of its Independence.

To start with, the stand-in finance minister Piyush Goyal took time in the middle of his speech to praise a recent blockbuster, Uri, which glorified the Narendra Modi government’s decision to conduct ‘surgical strikes’ into Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. He then went on to solicit Bollywood’s love with a change in rule, which should not have been there in the first place. “Single window clearance for ease of shooting films, available only to foreigners, is now going to be made available to Indian filmmakers as well,” Goyal said. And that was not all. He also said that “regulatory provisions will rely more 14 on self-declaration. We will also introduce anti-camcording provisions in the Cinematograph Act to control the menace of piracy.” Goyal also highlighted how the government pushed for a lower tax on cinema tickets through the GST (goods and services tax) Council. Let’s look at how the relationship has evolved in the last four and a half years. It’s showtime Modi government’s affair with Bollywood is a recent phenomenon. In fact, in the first three years of the regime, the government’s relationship with the film industry was rather tenuous. One of the government’s appointees, the former chairman of the film certification board, the CBFC, Pahlaj Nihalani was a big thorn in the flesh for the country’s film industry. He infamously took the moral high ground and censored multiple films, most famously Anurag Kashyap’s Udta Punjab. Even after the Bombay High Court <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/udta-punjab-latest-dveelopment-cbfc-bombay-high-court-verdict-censor-board-13840-2016-06-13">struck down</a> the CBFC demand for cuts in the film, Nihalani <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/06/14/pahlaj-nihalani_n_10451088.html">said</a> , “the door for films with obscene and vulgar content.” Despite the fans’ anger and the industry’s anguish, he remained the chief of the ‘censor board’, as CBFC is colloquially known in India, for 2 years, while <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP-l_JY2Vng">he intermittently flattered the </a>government and the prime minister. Not just the working professionals in Bollywood, the government faced a severe backlash from the students of cinema too. In 2017, Gajendra Chauhan’s appointment as the chairman of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), triggered <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/the-problem-with-gajendra-chauhan/">a huge uproar</a>. Students <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/ftii-students-call-off-hunger-strike-to-attend-classes-wont-engage-with-govt/">went on a protest</a>, that even turned violent for a bit, saying Chauhan was qualified to lead a reputed institution like the FTII. The students, who alleged that Chauhan’s appointment was a political move and not based on merit, found vindication when Chauhan <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/india/im-a-bjp-soldier-will-do-whatever-is-assigned-gajendra-chauhan-4553227/">said</a>, “I am a BJP soldier and I will do whatever is assigned any duty assigned to me.” However, things turned for the better in 2018. Firstly, the new CBFC chief, the accomplished writer and lyricist Prasoon Joshi, has cannily handled the two divergent groups-- the government and the film industry. Secondly, some members of the film industry also served the government well. Two films released towards the end of 2018 were just what prime minister wanted, months before seeking re-election. The first film, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/accidental-prime-minister-is-at-the-epicenter-of-a-massive-political-controversy-in-india-just-with-its-trailer-launch/articleshow/67286606.cms">The Accidental Prime Minister</a>, was based on a revelatory book about all the corruption scandals of the previous government led by the Congress. It was the country’s first biopic made on a living prime minister, and showed the Manmohan Singh administration in poor light, and deservedly so, as many would argue. However, that government was voted out in 2014. The other movie of 2018, which helped the cause of the Narendra Modi government, was the slick story of border conflict, Uri. <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/budget-2019-piyush-goyal-all-praise-for-uri-in-parliament-says-the-josh-was-unmatched/articleshow/67789368.cms">The movie was a hit</a>,and it allowed the government to revive nationalistic sentiments that are directly proportional to the amount of hate for Pakistan. A little gratitude for pliable filmmakers was probably in order. Who knows, others may fall in line too.

Modi government’s new found love for Indian Cinema

People who know what acting is know that it is not only a profession that brings with it money and fame. In fact, those are mere perks for a person who gives his heart and soul to performing arts.

Their analysis states that the younger generation prefers to take to the streets rather than wait on politicians for a change in society. That being said, the older portions of the population prefer to avoid protests altogether. The under-40s that fall in-between, are 17% more likely to engage in demonstrations than the generation before them. Not only is there a divide present, but it’s also getting wider. Even in <keyword id="3658" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword>, there has been an increase in the protests and demonstrations over the past couple of years. It’s not surprising that the youth want to be heard because they feel like their vote doesn’t matter. In the sea of corruption and regressive societal structures, sometimes protesting isn’t just a preference but a last resort. Diving into the divide Call it rebellion or lack of accessibility, but numbers show that young adults prefer to be anti-establishment. It’s not uncommon to hear the debate of voting for the ‘lesser evil’, which is why they seem to prefer opposing the system altogether as their own way of taking a stand. The <keyword id="43677" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Voter-turnout">voter turnout</keyword> of the youth has always been relatively low but their favour lies with <keyword id="6354914" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="democracy">democracy</keyword>. And, even though the younger generation isn’t as enthusiastic about volunteer or party participation, it doesn’t mean they aren’t a part of the political process. According to the report, the younger generation cares but just prefers other modes of influence like demonstrations on the street or digital campaigns. Trouble on the inside Young or old, a common perception is that mainstream politics is morally compromised. And quite honestly, that may not be too far from the truth. Éven PM Modi’s demonetisation exercise to wipe black money from the Indian Economy seems to have failed in the backdrop of India being the 81st least corrupt nation.Not that the ranking was much better under the Congress regime. But then again, according to the report even though corruption is a fact that dictates youth mindset, there was no correlation between the corruption perceptions index and preference for activism. No-entry There’s a trend, in India especially, of top-down legacy formats applied in political parties. The Gandhi legacy is the most prominent in India and the Congress Party has been repeatedly called out on it. Activists, on the other hand, function along horizontal networks. And when it comes to election process, the average age of Members of Parliament (MPs) in India is 56 years which is in sharp contrast to India’s average age of 24. Even globally, only 2% of world’s political leaders are under 30 years of age. If new voices aren’t able to enter the fray, and the disparity is evident, then they will obviously look for alternatives. Last resort Having to take to streets to voice your opinion isn’t always about preference, sometimes it’s the only option after all other avenues have been exhausted. The system is slow. With the amount of red tape and bureaucratic processes in the way, change is hardly ever instantaneous without public pressure giving it a push. Instances like the Nibhaya Movement in 2012, the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) agitation in 2015 or even the post-Jallikattu Protests in 2017 reflect instance where the law has either been incapable or outmatched when dealing with controversial situations. While survey took 128 countries in consideration and collected data from nearly a million people, India in particular, has seen an increase in violent incidents of late. While some blame the current political party, it could just be that the country is struggling to stay ahead of the rapidly changing society and its needs.
