Trivial Pursuit 78

'Rang De Basanti' (2006), had a controversial horse riding scene featuring Aamir Khan. The scene in question is about a traditional festival of a sect of Sikhism, which features a horse race.

This has been banned by the Animal Welfare Board and therefore, this scene had to be removed from the movie.






The banned scene shows a ritual of the 'X' sect of Sikhism. The word 'X' means 'Crocodile' and was introduced into the Punjabi language from Persian.

The term owes its origin to the Mughal historians who noticed that these brave armed-monks fought ferociously like crocodiles. Traditionally known for their bravery and ruthlessness in the battlefield, they once formed the 'Guerilla Squads' of the armed forces of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.


Identify 'X'.
