In this powerful and urgent episode, we unpack the shocking arrest of Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad — a respected academic, historian, and Head of Political Science at Ashoka University. With degrees from Amherst College and Cambridge University, and years of experience working across policy, academia, and global research, Prof. Mahmudabad is known for his deep commitment to the Indian Constitution, peace, and civil discourse. But on May 18, 2025, he was arrested — not for any crime, but for a Facebook post. A post that questioned selective outrage: “Why mob lynchings of Muslims? Why bulldozers on their homes? And will the same people praising women in uniform also speak against such injustices?” There was no abuse, no hate speech — just a plea for consistent morality.
