Director Shekhar Kapur

Mumbai (IANS) – Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has urged the western media to stop patronising India.

“India is a nation confident of itself and its future, no longer willing to pander to the neo-colonial mindset of the western media. You’ll soon become irrelevant if you continue like this. If you have not already. Stop patronising us,” Shekhar tweeted on Monday.

The “Mr. India” director’s latest tweet came after he slammed BBC for referring to Jammu and Kashmir as “Indian-administered Kashmir” on Sunday.

In a tweet, he said: “Hey BBCWorld.. each time you call #kashmir ‘Indian Occupied Kashmir’ I keep wondering why you refuse to call Northern Ireland ‘British Occupied Ireland’.”
