The big story of the week was the controversy gripping a Netflix series documenting the 1999 hijack of Indian Airlines flight IC 814. The right-wing and our Godi anchors were upset that two of the hijackers had Hindu code-names. Of course, that actually happened, but their qualm was that people might think the terrorists were actually Hindu. 

Our beloved RSS was especially concerned about how GenZs might view the series as, according to him, they are likely to be victims of WhatsApp University. As a fellow victim, we feel he could empathise with them instead. Meanwhile, Amish had other issues, ones that have been quite dear to him for a while. He spoke about how he finds the movie Hawas ka Pujari offensive. 

In other news, our TV news anchors were busy running after the wolves who are terrorising villages in Uttar Pradesh. Highlights included Syed Suhail believing the alpha wolf theory and the Sansani guy making a rare appearance on our screens.
