Netflix announced on Tuesday it will address outrage in India due to a historical drama about the terrorist hijacking of an airplane by adding a disclaimer to the beginning of the series. This may not mollify the critics, who are incensed that the Muslim terrorists responsible for the real-life incident were replaced with Hindus.Indian Airlines Flight 814 took off from Nepal’s capital of Kathmandu on December 24, 1999, bound for New Delhi, India, with 179 passengers and 11 crew aboard.
The hijackers originally demanded the release of 36 terrorists plus $200 million in cash, but the Indian government eventually bargained them down to accepting the release of three high-profile terrorist leaders. One of the men they released, Masood Azhar, went on toa dangerous extremist group called Jaish-e-Mohammad, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Nations and blamed for several attacks in India.
On the first night of the ordeal, the terrorists decided to separate some of the male passengers from their wives and girlfriends, moving them to the business-class section of the plane. This was intended to terrify the passengers into submission and reduce the odds of them mounting a resistance. The hijackers felt everyone wasn’t scared enough, and they were frustrated by the Indian government’s refusal to capitulate to their demands, so they decided to murder someone.
All of which makes it utterly bizarre that anyone thought it would be a good idea to fictionalize the incident by concealing the Muslim identity of the hijackers. The IC-814 series by Netflix refers to the hijackers only by the code names they used during the attack — the throat-slitting convert-to-Islam terrorist was “Doctor,” for example. Another went by “Shankar,” a common Indian name.
“The Left’s agenda to whitewash the crimes of Pakistani terrorists, all Muslims, is served,” Malviya continued. “This is the power of cinema, which the Communists have been using aggressively since the 70s.
