@people who think this guy should not have been arrested over a tweet or that journalists should be free to criticize=>


does that mean we can tweet anything? Eg can we tweet trash about your religion? Clearly there have to be boundaries. Nupur Sharma was arrested for something she said on TV. In our country where we have so many diverse groups and people get inflamed easily, there has to be some curtailment of speech otherwise we will have chaos and riots. People need to be mindful of their speech.


I also don't think a press badge should give someone the license to write anything they want. They too need to obey the laws of the land. They are also mostly a bunch of dumb asses who are doing the bidding of the people who own the channels and pay the salaries. They should have no license to write sh*t.

Without getting into a political discussion here, I think Nurpur Sharma attacked an entire religion. Her comments definitely fall under hateful speech and inciting communal discord. Plus she’s representing the government.

KRK is, to borrow his own phrase, a 2 rupees critic whose whole schtick is criticizing everyone. And all his attacks have been on individuals and not a specific group of people. If he was gonna be arrested for anything it should have been when he blamed Anushka Sharma for the Indian cricket team losing a few years ago. That could be taken as him putting Anushka’s safety at risk. But saying Rishi Kapoor shouldn’t die because a wine store opened near him is insensitive and just a douchey thing to do. But it didn’t put Rishi Kapoor in any greater risk.

Look I know the man is a major ass and a douche bag. When Jabariya Jodi flopped he actually posted a picture of an empty theatre and said that Sid should end up in a bathtub like Sridevi. He deleted that tweet within 20 minutes but not before plenty of people saw it. As I said on the first page, he’s lowest of the low. But arresting him for a tweet is a dangerous slippery slope in my opinion.

Nupur Sharma should not have been arrested. A true democracy should include full freedom of speech, except actual incitement to violence.


Nor should ANY religion be exempt from mockery and insults. If people get triggered by hearing an unfavorable opinion of their religion, then it's the violent criminals who need to be arrested, not the person with the opinion.


Once again, Nupur Sharma didn't call for Muslims to be attacked. Nor did she call for Hindus to be attacked. She had a bad opinion of Islam which she expressed. To criminalize that is giving into blackmail. No ifs, ands, or buts.


No one should have to give 2 ***** for anyone's hurt feelings as a matter of legality. Decency is a diff thing, and it should never be legislated.


But of course on IF, a member can call for beheading her. THAT, my friends, is an actual call for violence. Ie, terrorism. That member is still around. Am still bitter about this. An opinion gets punished while actual call to violence is dismissed as *hurt feelings.* Well, there is a difference between mere hurt and violence.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Nor am I saying Nupur Sharma should have been arrested. I am making the argument that her situation was very different than KRK’s for the reasons I mentioned above.

I have opinions on your specific points but I really don’t want to get into a discussion on Indian politics and freedom of speech vs inciting communal hatred and riots.

i think it would be silly to say that freedom of speech should be absolute and applicable in all circumstances. The classic example is of someone yelling "fire" in a crowded auditorium. We dont want that, do we? Clearly there should be boundaries.


i also think we cant go cuckoo over demanding total freedom of speech. In a heterogenous society like ours where there are existing fissures between different groups, imo the boundaries have to be tight. But let's be clear- there are boundaries imposed on free speech even in very homogenous societies where its easier to iron out differences and the resources to manage potential trouble (although the riots in Charlottesville showed us otherwise). Most societies realize there's a practical side to how far some freedoms can be given, and that's how they get laws enacted by democratic representation. So just saying we should have freedom of speech and its the government's failing if we don't, that's a very dogmatic view imo. In the real world (not the cuckoo world), there are practicalities to consider.


ps- agree with the point you made about that member who called for the beheading. I also think if people can freely mock Hindu rituals with impunity, the reverse should also be fine. Just have a uniform civil code applicable to everyone... am ok with some limits on freedom as long as it applies to everyone.

Arey people were looking forward to his review more than brahmastra this is disappointing

Bw has got paranoid this guy thrashed RRR and it’s not like he gave great review to kgf

Bw should focus inwards

None of the movies he criticized would have worked otherwise too
