Swara Bhaskar’s X Account Suspended Over Republic Day Posts

Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar’s X account (previously known as Twitter) has been permanently suspended due to alleged copyright infringements. The suspension, which took effect on January 30, 2025, follows Bhaskar’s Republic Day posts that featured a popular Hindi protest slogan and an image of her child waving the Indian flag.

Bhaskar has vehemently criticized the suspension, labelling it as “ridiculous” and “untenable.” She argues that the slogan used is a common expression associated with progressive movements in India, and that the picture of her child does not constitute a copyright violation.

The actress has appealed to X for a review and reversal of the decision, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression and the unjust nature of the suspension. Bhaskar’s fans and supporters have rallied behind her, calling for the reinstatement of her account.

As the debate continues, the incident has sparked discussions about copyright enforcement on social media platforms and the balance between regulation and freedom of speech.
