Kashyap drew reference of his tweet from 'Rashomon', the legendary film by Akira Kurosawa.
He wrote, "Article 370 or 35A, I cannot speak much on them. Their implication, history or facts - I still haven't understood them. At times it feels it should have been scrapped, at times it feels why was it scrapped. Neither am I a Kashmiri Muslim, nor am I a Kashmiri Pandit. My Kashmiri friend tells me that the story of Kashmir is like Rashomon."

'Rashomon' is the story of the rape of a bride and the murder of her samurai husband, from various viewpoints. Each version of the story serves the narrator's interest. The plot device involving these contrasting points of view, where you are left trying to figure out who to believe.
Kashyap has always been vocal about his anti-government views on several topics for a long time now. He has been a critic of Modi's ideologies and movements.
However, the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir has received mixed response across the nation with many appreciating as well as criticizing the move.
