Netflix has vowed to consider Indian sensitivities in future content following backlash over its series, ‘IC-814: The Kandahar Hijack.’ The show, which dramatizes the 1999 hijacking of an Indian Airlines flight, faced criticism for allegedly misrepresenting the hijackers and distorting historical facts. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting summoned Netflix's content head, leading to assurances that future productions will respect cultural and national sensitivities. Critics argue the series, directed by Anubhav Sinha, inaccurately portrays the hijackers and their affiliations, sparking outrage from various quarters.
