IC 814 Kandahar Hijacking Netflix Controversy

IC 814 Kandahar Hijacking has been released on Netflix recently and has already started creating controversy. There was a meeting of Netflix with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday and the OTT giant has committed that they will review their content so that they do not hurt the national sentiments of the country. 

The series has created controversy because of the hijackers who were involved in the 1999 Indian Airlines hijacking. They have been given nicknames like Burger, Bhola, Shankar, Cheif and Doctor. Some people think this type of characterization shows the hijackers in a human light, leading to public outbursts. 

The ministry demanded an explanation from Netflix India about such kind of insensitive and harmful elements in the series as there are real-life elements depicted in the series. However, Netflix has claimed that the series is made with all the public resources which includes government statements and books. 

The hijacking was done by the Pakistani group Harkat-ul-Mujahideen which if misinterpreted can become a cause of concern.

How Floods have Effected Human Beings and Wildlife

Floods are a natural calamity that ruins houses, wildlife, crops and takes life of many people as well. People were already suffering from COVID 19 and the floods made it even more worse this year. The people were not safe inside their houses as well.  Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times.  They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency.  It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably.

Sony Liv has released a new web series called Maharani which is said to be based on the lives of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. However, this series has faced a lot of backlash and criticism because it has shown how Rabri worked for Bihar but the people of Bihar say that this series is cleaning the image of Rabri Devi.  The series shows how an illiterate lady who has no interest at all in politics and is happy with the normal life she is leading. She is relieved when her husband says that he will resign from the post of Bihar CM as he is shot.  Little did she know that she will be made the CM of Bihar as Bhima, her husband is unable to discharge his duties as a CM. At first, she is very reluctant to go to the CM office as she is underconfident and cannot speak fluently. She slowly gains confidence when people understand the work she is doing and she becomes the favourite of the Bihar people and ultimately gains their trust. However, the series is faulty on many grounds. Fir...
