In a chilling escalation of digital authoritarianism, the Indian government has reportedly banned the YouTube channel of renowned Islamic academic and debater Mohammad Hijab—a move that starkly illustrates the rising intolerance for dissent in Modi’s India. This action—undertaken in the wake of the devastating Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives—reveals not just a response to a security crisis, but a deliberate ideological assault against Muslim voices who challenge the narrative of the Hindu supremacist state.
