Social Media Backlash and Account Deletion
Referring to The Kashmir Files and Kerala Files, Reet added, “The films apparently enjoy a bit of creative math: ‘32,000 women converted to Islam!’ when real cases barely scrape a few hundred. But hey, that’s how propaganda works, right? Take a sliver of truth, sprinkle in some absurdly inflated numbers, and suddenly you’ve got a full blown narrative against a community… I never said the problems didn’t exist, but these films clearly push a certain narrative and deviation is apparently optional. I’d love to hear about the ‘real’ ground reality from someone in the know…if only you weren’t hiding behind a faceless, anonymous account.”
After screenshots emerged on social media, she faced intense backlash from many users.
