News Desk: Everyone has been shaken to their core by the Afghanistan crisis. Celebrities and the common man are both tweeting and blogging about it on social media. Swara Bhaskar is another celeb who has done so. Her viewpoint, on the other hand, has enraged the Twittersphere.
In her first tweet, she wrote, “We can’t be okay with Hindutva terror & be all shocked & devastated at Taliban terror.. & We can’t be chill with #Taliban terror; and then be all indignant about #Hindutva terror! Our humanitarian & ethical values should not be based on identity of the oppressor or oppressed.”
She rephrased it and said, “Let me rephrase! The #Taliban doesn’t deserve our nuance .. notwithstanding American Imperialism which is wrong and must be critiqued. But Taliban does not deserve nuance. Recognise their many many evils and wrongdoings!”
Her tweets hurt people’s sentiments hence, #ArrestSwaraBhaskar is trending on Twitter. They believe it is a slur on Hindus and only serves to fuel further animosity.
