A storm has erupted online as a journalist from India faces a vicious cyberbullying campaign after criticising the whitewashing of political realities in a recent film about Kashmir.

What began as an honest critique has turned into a flood of online hate, abuse, and threats, raising serious questions about freedom of expression and the price of truth in today’s digital world.

In a democracy built on dialogue and dissent,
why is disagreement being punished with digital violence?

🕊️ Criticism is not betrayal.
📢 Opinion is not offence.
💻 Freedom of speech should never become a battlefield of hate.

This isn’t just about one journalist —
it’s about the right of every voice to question, to express, and to seek the truth without fear.

“When truth is trolled, democracy is tested.”
