Controversies	• Accused Sumanth C. Raman of encouraging caste-based discrimination In November 2022, Vikraman accused Sumanth C. Raman, a Tamil television anchor and sports commentator, of biased behaviour and unfair treatment towards people based on their caste. Vikraman took to Twitter and revealed that when he went to Sumanth’s house for an interview, he asked for a glass of water, but his demand was neglected even after several requests. His tweet read, When I came to your house to interview you, you sent me back without even giving me a glass of water. When I asked for it to you myself, you suggested me to receive water from the watchman. Why is that ??” Sumanth denied the allegations made against him by Vikraman and demanded to withdraw his baseless statement along with an apology. Vikraman replied to his tweet, which read, Even two cameramen were accompanying me at that time. Don’t threaten a journalist. Our truth will triumph.” Sumanth even threatened Vikraman to take legal action against him, to which he replied with a tweet, I am not going to fear for these kind of gimmicks. Truth will triumph.” ^[5]Chennai Memes• Accused of sexually harassing a man As per sources, in April 2021, Vikraman was accused of sexually molesting a man, who came to his place to give an audition. Addressing Vikraman as a gay, the victim revealed that he promised to help him in getting roles for the films, but instead, harassed him. He shared the incident with a meme page on Instagram and said, He called me in the name of audition to a house and made me act. Then he pushed me to the bed and sexually harassed me. I couldn’t do anything at that time. His friends later called and scolded him. He put away my shirt in a cupboard and locked it. I had to struggle to get my shirt back from him. He later begged me to not disclose this incident to anyone and that he would help me get a chance in films. Then he blocked me. I couldn’t do anything as many told me that he has many political connections and knows several bigshots. They told me that I won’t be able to do anything to him.” ^[6]The Commune • Addressed as anti-Hindu During a debate on the English news channel Times Now, in June 2022, Vikraman was accused of offending and hurting the religious sentiments of people by insulting the Hindu God Lord Krishna. Vikraman passed a derogatory statement about Lord Krishna’s immoral relationship with Gopis (devotees of Krishna) in his young age. Vikraman said, Krishna’s young age life was full of illicit love affairs with the women of Vrindavan. It was called Rasleela.” ^[7]OP India People heavily criticized Vikraman for passing such a disrespectful statement on a Hindu god and addressed him as anti-Hindu. ^[8]Sanatan Prabhat Rahul Easwar, a Hindu philosophy author, lashed out at him for passing offensive remarks and said, Shri Krishna’s relationship with the Gopis was not illicit but was a spiritual bond. Making such remarks about Hindu Deities is nothing but Hinduphobia. In this way, people try to belittle Hindu culture and beliefs. They make vulgar and offensive statements.” ^[9]OP India • FIR filed for passing provocative remarks An FIR was filed against the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and 31 other people, which included Vikraman Radhakrishnan, for allegedly passing objectionable and offensive statements on social media, which promoted hatred among different social groups. Vikraman, along with 31 other people, was booked under sections 153, 153A, 153B, 295A, 298, 504, 505 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). ^[10]The Times of India

Some Lesser Known Facts About Vikraman Radhakrishnan

Vikraman Radhakrishnan, an Indian actor, politician, anchor, and journalist, gained recognition by appearing on the reality TV series Bigg Boss Tamil season 6, which aired on Star Vijay in October 2022.

Vikraman portrayed the character of Vikram in the musical short TV series Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa on Vijay TV in 2016.

During an interview, Vikraman shared the incident that led him to enter politics after working as a journalist. He recounted how, during the Covid pandemic, he received a social media message from a woman desperately seeking help for her sick brother. The woman explained that her elderly parents lived overseas, intensifying the urgency of the situation. Touched by her plea, Vikraman decided to utilize his platform as a journalist to bring attention to her predicament. He tweeted about the situation and was pleasantly surprised when an ambulance was swiftly arranged for her brother. Even the Chief Minister of the state responded to his tweet. This experience opened Vikraman’s eyes to the realization that individual efforts, no matter how passionate or determined, can only accomplish so much. It is crucial to surround oneself with like-minded individuals to truly make a difference. Personally, Vikraman believes that achieving justice through legislative action holds more significance than obtaining it through the courts. Even if direct intervention is not possible, individuals possess the power to hold those in authority accountable. Ultimately, what matters most is the positive impact that can be created.

In a tweet, Vikraman recounted a past incident from his school days, shedding light on the discrimination he experienced due to his caste. He shared, “Back in school, I once visited a Brahmin household to collect donations for the Kargil war. To my dismay, I observed them cleaning the very spot where I had been seated.”

When I went to the house of a Brahmin to solve a problem as a school student, they made me stand in front of them. You say that you have been oppressed for 80 years, @sumanthraman, is that fair?

Vikraman R (@RVikraman) tweeted on November 22, 2020.

Vikraman passionately embraces the ideologies of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Periyar, aligning himself with their core principles and firmly opposing Sanatana Dharma. During an interview, he expressed his staunch views against Sanatana Dharma, stating that he and others who follow the teachings of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Periyar actively denounce it. According to Vikraman, Sanatana Dharma perpetuates caste inequality, promotes inhumane values, and fosters division within society. He believes that any individual who truly understands the concept of Sanatana Dharma will inevitably oppose it, and any political party advocating for social justice and equality will naturally stand against it.

Vikraman frequently expresses his criticisms of the BJP government and India’s 14th prime minister, Narendra Modi, in his tweets.

Sinking to despicable depths, @timesofindia portrays Isaignani @ilaiyaraaja as merely “a Dalit from Tamil Nadu.” This is precisely what the disgraceful BJP and its affiliates desired. pic.twitter.com/DruCVUazlt

Vikraman expressed his objection to JIPMER’s decision of using Hindi as much as possible for official purposes on Twitter in May 2022.

The official language in Puducherry JIPMER should now only be Hindi, as per the directive of the Puducherry Official Languages Act, 1965 and Language Rules, 1976 [Section 11(2)]. We need to immediately reverse this decision. #StopHindiImposition
