Brickbat: Watch What You Post

Ali Khan Mahmudabad, head of the political science department at Ashoka University in India, was arrested for a Facebook post about Operation Sindoor, India's military response against Pakistan to the Pahalgam terrorist attacks, after a complaint by a member of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party's youth organization. Mahmudabad wrote in his post he was "very happy to see so many right-wing commentators applauding" the effort but added that "perhaps they could also equally loudly demand that the victims of mob lynchings, arbitrary bulldozing and others who are victims of the BJP's hate mongering be protected as Indian citizens." He faces charges of endangering India's sovereignty, promoting enmity between groups, assertions prejudicial to national integration, and insulting religious beliefs.

If you are posting "Hillary-style" and trying to ruin the long-awaited optimism of the American People, you will risk deportation and worse. And you would deserve it. My father always said 'If you can't boost , don't knock"

Nobody cares about that conflict. POST ABOUT UKRAINE OR PALESTINE.

Really, the fact that he does kind of seem to have committed "endangering India's sovereignty, promoting enmity between groups, assertions prejudicial to national integration, and insulting religious beliefs" is kind of a welcome change of pace from "novel legal constructions" and "Hey, why did all the references to the Great Barrington Declaration and Hunter Biden's laptop disappear from my news feeds?"

I blame the British.
