Mumbai, April 2: Director Vivek Agnihotri became furious on Wikipedia for describing The Kashmir Files story as 'inaccurate' and 'associated with conspiracy theories'. This has resulted in it editing the description and removing the 'associated with conspiracy theories'.
Recently, The Kashmir Files completed 50 days of its release. On Sunday, May 1, Agnihotri shared a screenshot of the Wikipedia page of The Kashmir Files. The description read, "It depicts the early 1990s exodus to be a genocide, a notion that is widely considered inaccurate and associated with conspiracy theories."
Sharing a screenshot, he wrote, "Dear @Wikipedia , You forgot to add ‘Islamophobia propaganda sanghi bigot etc’. You are failing your Secular credentials. Hurry, edit more (sic)."

But now, Wikipedia edited the description of The Kashmir Files. It now reads, 'It depicts the early 1990s exodus to be a genocide, a notion that is widely considered inaccurate."
The Kashmir Files is based on the life of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, during the Kashmir insurgency. The film is a true story, based on video interviews of the first generation victims of The Kashmir Genocide of the Kashmiri Pandit Community.
