Television star Rupali Ganguly has spoken up after a controversial comment about the Brahmin community by Peter Navarro went viral. The ‘Anupamaa’ actress took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her views and defend her community.
In her post, Rupali wrote, “Let’s be clear! Brahmins aren’t responsible for your failed trade policies or America’s economic mess. Targeting a community with casteist jibes won’t hide your record of blunders. Don’t drag Brahmins or India to hide your mess. That old trick won’t work anymore, Indians stand united.”

The controversy started when Peter Navarro appeared on Fox News for a discussion on India’s foreign policy. While praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “great leader,” Peter questioned Modi’s global alliances with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping.
During the same conversation, he made a remark that has since been widely criticized. He said, “You’ve got Brahmins profiteering at the expense of the Indian people. We need that to stop. Yeah, and we’ll be watching that closely.”
These words did not sit well with many, both in India and abroad. Rupali Ganguly’s post came soon after.
