The entire net collection reveals how he fulfils his duties, what challenges he fights, and the way folks grow to be his enemies.TFI has already performed a nuanced and neat dissection of what all is flawed with Tandav and the way it goes out of its approach to harm the non secular sentiments of the Hindus.

We can uninstall OTT apps, boycott the reveals however when will you’re taking these guys to process?You are the I&B Minister.

A glimmer of hope has been given by Javadekar & co. and hopefully, the lot comes by means of this time and places an finish to all of the sub-standard trash that’s dished on such platforms within the guise of inventive liberty.
