As tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, India has taken a bold step in tightening its policies, and sports is not exempt. The latest move is banning Pakistani cricketers - Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf's Instagram accounts in India. This after Pakistani javelin star Arshad Nadeem's Instagram account was banned, sending a stern message to Pakistan. Nadeem, who shares a strong bond with India’s Neeraj Chopra, was initially invited to an event in Bengaluru, but his absence has now become symbolic in the larger context of the strained relations. Rupha Ramani explores the implications of India's ban on Nadeem's social media presence, the impact on his popularity and earnings, and how this action reflects India’s broader stance on security and international relations during this critical time.
