The Netflix series _IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack_ has sparked controversy over the portrayal of the hijackers' names, prompting a summons for Netflix India's head by the Indian government. Critics argue that the outrage overlooks historical facts surrounding the 1999 hijacking, during which the Indian government negotiated for the release of 191 hostages by freeing terrorists, including Masood Azhar. The debate highlights a broader issue regarding names and identity, particularly in the context of covert operations where aliases are commonly used by both military personnel and terrorists. The author criticizes the focus on names rather than addressing systemic failures that allowed the hijacking to occur, such as intelligence lapses and inadequate security measures. This misplaced outrage, the author argues, distracts from the need for accountability and a coherent strategy to address ongoing threats.
