In the context of the recently released biopic Chamkila, which is based on the Punjabi artist Amar Singh Chamkila, the complex relationship between art and vulgarity is once again in the spotlight. This issue is also topical to Bhojpuri music. Of late, the concern for suppression of vulgarity in Bhojpuri music has arisen from various quarters. Besides the discussions in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the state government shall not give grants to films with vulgar content, and noted Hindi journalist Ravish Kumar, who hails from the Bhojpuri speaking belt, has, on his Bhojpuri channel Vihaan, demanded a complete ban on vulgar content in Bhojpuri art. Social activists have filed numerous litigations in courts so far.
