Shiv Sena’s IT cell member Ramesh Solanki filed a complaint against Netflix India for “hurting Hindu sentiments” and showing an “incorrect picture of Hindus and India globally”.
Through film, textile, scent, sound, and gesture, spectators are invited to descend into an immersive environment where inherited knowledge seeps through material and form.
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
Netflix should not be banned at all for their approach or views – its their choice, and presumably india is a free country.
Unfortunately most indians don’t understand the meaning of liberty and freedom.
Try showing something derogatory about Islam and Muslims and then see what they do to Netflix and let’s see what the print has to say about the anti Muslim content. Then the narrative will change drastically and Netflix will be islamophobe and will be destroyed.
Ms maithili , depiction of church in spotlight is true,priests have raped children, so it is justified. but shows based on hinduism are far removed from reality. when did some hindu group tried to bomb europe or a 1984 kind of dystopia was brought into reality? they are morons and you should know better.
So what you’re saying is that insecure butthurt Hindus like you (who certainly don’t speak for the rest of us) ought to act no better than the Muslims you claim to be superior to? Got it.
GoI should not ban, they should only threaten to ban. Coercion sometimes work better. if they want their next 100 million customers from India, they better mend their ways and stop insulting Hindus
Why does the hindu group bother about what is shown in netflix? If they don’t like it, then just dont watch it. Pretty sure there are hypocrites among them that watches everything what they proclaim as spoiling culture, else how else would they know it. They cant shut their eyes and other things, still they are forced to do because of their rules. Now they are forcing their ridiculous practices to others
The major factor is that these shows are not similar to the tv channel, in the way that the shows are not broadcasted without explicit will. For a channel what they show is all for every consumer, and generally it is not predecided, or a customer can not choose what to watch. In case of netflix it is different. You Pay, then You Click and then You watch, privately. The call to ban and regulate Netflix is regressive, and hurts the sentiment of people who want the right to creative expression. The regressive call to regulate these views is actually attempt to make the opposing ideas cease to exist!!
With India an important market, Netflix would be mindful of local sensitivities, as all multinationals operating in our country are. However, in our interactions with the rest of the world, we should welcome the different perspectives they bring in. No one has empowered a fringe, consisting of people who are not India’s brightest or most learned, to speak or agitate for the rest of us.

Netflix will not dare to stream a show/series that shows Muslims in bad light. But when it comes to Hinduism, anything goes.
That is why Hindus demand ban of Nexflix.

Who are the rest of us. If Netflix want to operate in India, they should carry respect for local traditions. Otherwise it should go off.
