TANDAV CONTROVERSY: PART 1 [B.33]

 Hello everyone,

In the last blog, I talked about the difference between freedom of expression and hate speech and I said that, I will continue the series in my upcoming blogs but today's blog is not directly connected with it but to some extent it is. We are living in an age where the war is between ideologies through information. Data sharing is one of the key weapon in this kind of warfare. Economies across the world in the year 2021 can not afford a conventional war through weapons hence the easiest and the cheapest way  is war through information. If you want to hover over someone's ideologies and promote your agendas, the key way is to create an internal war among their society which makes them question their own ideology and pushes them to stand against it. As a result they loose their faith and trust in their own community. This is a classic example of urban naxalism. If you want a detailed information on this, you can read my previous blog for a better understanding. URBAN NAXALISM 

Let's get started,

 OTT platforms like Netflix, amazon prime are neither Indian based  platforms, nor  they receive their  funds from India. They are fully owned and controlled by western, middle eastern countries and China. To be very honest, these states have no interest in Indian culture. They are not interested in looking at India as a country which is  historic, rich in its culture, has the world's most ancient civilization but  merely a market of 1.36 billion people. The OTT platforms like Netflix and amazon prime are not under the regulation of the censor board which gives them the authority to display the content in the way they wish to. OTT platforms, today, have a high viewership and a substantial amount of youth of our country contribute to this percentage. The content shown on these platforms are so powerful that it has a great impact on the minds of the youth and molds their ideologies, thus it is very crucial for them to understand that they hold a major responsibility of showing the right things which do not mislead them.

I am going to talk about the series "Tandav" which recently rolled on  Amazon prime. The series has been the center of many controversies because of its way of portraying the content. This is not the first time a series has become a cause of many protests for hurting the sentiments of a community especially Hindu. I will be bringing some facts  in the next blog to make it evident that these are not unintentional scenes created for pure entertainment purposes but has a hidden agenda.
