Ashoka University’s Prof Mahmudabad was arrested for posts on Operation Sindoor
Charges include promoting hatred and even culpable homicide
His posts praised India's strategic messaging and female-led briefings
No criticism, no incitement — just analysis
He questioned why lynching victims aren't defended with the same zeal as military heroes
A critique of hypocrisy — not an attack on the nation
A minister called Colonel Qureshi a “terrorist’s sister” — no police action
Prof Mahmudabad is jailed for a reasoned post
Criticism isn’t a crime
Unless it incites violence, it’s a constitutional right
This arrest hurts India’s image of unity more than any post ever could
Free speech must be defended — not punished
