2. Why is the movie being opposed from certain quaters?

3. Modus operandi to discredit & trivialize the issue
i) Brand it as a propaganda movie. Use Nazi analogy.
▪️ Compared to Nazi propaganda movie like Jew Süss by Time magazine.
▪️ An agenda driven 'journalist' was hired to write an op-ed on how she was discriminated in theatre.

ii) Question facts & figures. Prove it a flimsy event.
▪️ Attempts are being made to confuse people with conflicting figures
▪️ Motive - Question the credibility & derail justice in the process
Figures of chaotic days can best be estimated, can be conflicting. And they know it.

Clear attempt to fracture the support of movie in India on caste lines.

iv) Engage in Whataboutery
▪️ "Oh but what about people of other community killed? " was the most common argument against the film.
Well ! Yes, they too need to talked about.
But first we should deal with issue at hand. One that has been denied for 30 years.

Despite all the hardship, #KashmiriPandits never took to arms
The least we can do is recognise the pain & bring those wronged them (Bittas & Yasins) to justice
Jews hunted Nazi criminals for 70 yrs
As @ShashiTharoor would put - We owe our KP brothers & sisters 'Reparations'
