“”” The Allahabad high court was acting on a public interest petition filed by Sudhir Kumar, an activist, who said he had learned from media reports that the documentary Who Lit the Fuse? portrayed India’s 172-million Muslims as living in fear of the Narendra Modi government. He also alleged that it showed state agencies acting against the interests of Muslims.
On this basis, Kumar argued, the documentary should not be broadcast as it would disrupt social harmony. “””
This documentary will “disrupt social harmony”, but numerous movies with a strong anti-Muslim sentiment (The Kashmir Files, Pathaan, and more…) do not? All movies must receive explicit permission from the government censor board in order to be released to the public. None of these movies had issues with disrupting social harmony?
And the reply from the court?
“”” “Considering the evil consequences that are likely to occur on the broadcast of the film … we are of the view that the broadcast be deferred pending consideration of the cause in the present petition,” “””
What a sad state of affairs for a country that benefits so much from diversity.
"The Kashmir Files" is the most serious movie in the recent past.
I remember the imdb-ratings on movies from India were also absurdly high, I brushed it off as a cultural thing back then; but unfortunately [0] the rigging seems to be norm on imdb across the board (not limited to India).

Same here, recently watched a movie that released here(The Kashmir Files) which essentially showed how kashmiri muslims organised genocide against kashmiri hindus in their own country. Dont think the problem is the Quran as you said but islamic fundamentalism is a serious problem that needs to be tackled.
