The case of actor Chetan Kumar and actor Siddharth
Kannada actor Chetan Kumar has been speaking and writing the politics of Dr. Ambedkar and Periyar in recent times. And in response to it, the Karnataka State Brahmin Development Board has filed police complaints against him.

In one occasion, he has mentioned that he too comes from a privileged caste. But still, there is hardly any solidarity extended to him from the liberal Brahmin-Savarnas. Instead, his comments have been appreciated primarily by Bahujans.
But someone like actor Siddharth who mocks Modi immediately receives nation wide appreciation from liberal Brahmin-Savarnas and becomes an overnight sensation.
Very clearly, the Brahmin-Savarnas find it much easier to do business with someone who mocks Modi than someone who critiques Brahminism.
Interestingly, all those who were aggressively supporting actor Siddharth and defending his half-baked politics saying that he shouldn't be critiqued just because he is a Brahmin seem to have gone to deep slumber in the case of Chetan Kumar.
