Netizens took to Twitter to trend #BanNetflixInIndia after Shiv Sena’s IT cell member Ramesh Solanki filed a complaint against the international content streaming platform.
Content has evolved in the last decade and how. From subjects and stories to streaming platforms that provide constant entertainment to us through a spectrum of mediums. Our content consumption and preferences have also evolved thanks to the Games Of Thrones, Black Mirrors, Marvelous Mrs. Maisels of the digital world. These platforms share content that caters to a wide range of audience and while OTT platforms don’t have to worry too much about censorship and keeping the content PG13, they do often face backlash for content that hurts the sentiments of people of various sections. A similar situation led to #BanNetflixInIndia trending on Twitter.
Here’s what people had to say about #BanNetflixInIndia:
This US based digital entertainment seems to be meant for defaming #Hinduism and praise leftists with is #AntiIndia content.
We Indians demand #BanNetflixInIndia immediately.

In @NetflixIndia's Leila, The clock is set in 2047, exactly 100 years since India’s independence. India has been replaced by Aryavarta, as “Bharat” was known in holy Hindu texts. It’s a totalitarian, repressive regime: #BanNetflixInIndia

Hinduphobic show ‘Leila

I have been noticing it for a while now. Netflix's Anti-Hindu agenda is a fact. All their Indian originals are based on this Agenda.
Looks like all failed and jobless commie directors and writers found their new harbor in NetFlix!#BanNetflixInIndia pic.twitter.com/PmLVcjogm1— നചികേതസ് (@nach1keta) September 6, 2019

While a section is alleging that Netflix has been streaming Anti-Hindu and Anti-Hindi content, there’s another section that doesn’t agree with them or is indifferent.

Asking for #BanNetflixInIndia…again?
Arre itna prob hain toh unsubscribe karo na?
I am sure many, who create a scene on Twitter, won't unsubscribe. For them, creating noise on SM is just timepass
Tht's y I also bookmark SM platforms under entertainment folder? Not lying? pic.twitter.com/cn4mPlG0GQ
