Are we saying that, as a nation, we can’t handle different ideas? That we're too fragile to disagree? If free speech comes with warnings about timing and tone, then is it really free?
International media also looks at the case against Ashoka University professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad & Pakistan army chief General Asim Munir's 'self-promotion'.
The SC bench has also directed constitution of a special investigation team), asking Haryana DGP to nominate 3 IPS officers, including a woman officer, as its members.
'The victims of the Pahalgam massacre are being insulted by the actions taken against Mahmudabad,' said the president of the Federation of Central University Teachers Association.
A close reading of the official statements made by India’s MEA, ASEAN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and Turkiye suggests that our reticence is not exactly an outlier.

Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
Great sanghi drama, displaying deep hatred and total ignorance typical of the manuwadis visavis any matter concerning a person bearing a Muslim name. Fortunately the harassment cannot last long as apparently there is no scope to stretch it for much longer a period.
Why did the Supreme Court intervene in this case? There was absolutely no need to interfere with the police action against Prof. Mahmudabad.
It’s a travesty of justice that an individual like this, who hails from a royal family which was instrumental in the creation of Pakistan, has been allowed to stay on in India. Not only that, he has been appointed as a professor of history at Ashoka University – just the perfect place to continue with the family tradition of anti-India activities.
Shame on the Supreme Court and it’s pathetic judges!
The opinion of a moron who worships an illiterate Fake degree wala Feku has no value.
The Raja of Mahmudabad was one of the chief financiers of the Muslim League. A vocal supporter of the Pakistan Movement, he left no stone unturned to ensure that India was divided and Muslims got their “homeland”.
Now, his grandson, Prof. Mahmudabad, teaches history at Ashoka University – where he, very conveniently, puts the blame for Partition on Hindus, especially upper-caste ones, while brushing under the carpet his own family’s “illustrious” role in the creation of Pakistan. He wants rights and privileges accorded to the Indian citizen by the secular Constitution of a democratic nation after ensuring that his Muslim brothers/sisters got their own theocratic nation and minorities have, practically, no rights at all.
What is especially sickening is that The Print has been championing the “cause” of Prof. Mahmudabad ever since his arrest. In it’s effort to defend him and his deeds, it has even been critical of the Supreme Court orders.
Why the hell this supreme court wasting it’s and nations resources on this case? Those were two social media posts made by one individual in some part of the nation of 1.4 billion population. What is going on? Dismiss the case and move on the critical cases? Perhaps, SC itself needs, more than anyone else, a sense of responsibility of safeguarding the personal liberty, and constitutional freedoms.
