IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, Netflix’s new series, is causing a stir. Based on the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight, the show is being slammed for changing facts, downplaying terrorism and upsetting people. The Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry has summoned Netflix representatives to explain why the series should not be taken off air. The controversy started right after the series came out, with many viewers on social media accusing the show of twisting the story. The biggest issue is how the hijackers are portrayed with names like “Shankar” and “Bhola,” which some believe hides their true identities and connections to extremist groups.
