In a recent meeting between Netflix and the Indian government, the streaming platform assured that its upcoming web series on the IC 814 Kandahar hijacking would be made with due sensitivity to national sentiments. The assurance follows a controversy surrounding the portrayal of the hijacking incident, which remains a deeply sensitive topic in India.
The government reportedly emphasized the need for content that respects the emotional and historical significance of the event. Netflix, in response, committed to ensuring that the series would align with the nation’s sentiments and avoid any content that could be perceived as disrespectful.
This move is seen as part of a broader effort by streaming platforms to balance creative freedom with cultural and political sensitivities in India, where historical and political themes often evoke strong reactions.
