Oxford Union Debate: Free Speech or Glorifying Acts of Terrorism?

Published On: November 15, 2024 - Indian students protested outside the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom over a debate titled 'This House believes in the independent state of Kashmir'. This was hosted by the Oxford Union, Oxford University's debating society, about the political status of Kashmir, a region historically disputed by India and Pakistan. These protests were against the two invited speakers, Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur and Zafar Khan, who are known for peddling the Pakistani narrative on Jammu and Kashmir with active backing from the Pakistani military establishment. Muzzammil Ayyub has a UAPA case against him in India. When does debating and exploring different issues cross the line from free speech to glorifying acts of terrorism? Why are campuses in the USA and UK being used for anti-Indian activities?
