On Saturday January 11th a poetry event called a Mushaira happened in Srinagar Kashmir It was in a Shia area and had traditional poets sharing their work. But then on Tuesday videos popped up online. These videos showed two poets using really hateful language in their poems.
The poems targeted Abu Bakr Umar and Uthman people considered very important in Islam. This caused big problems and made people angry. It’s because the language in the poems was disrespectful to figures many Muslims honor greatly. The videos showed how social media can quickly take a local event and make it a bigger problem.
Basically the whole thing is controversial because of the disrespectful words used in the poems. What started as a local event suddenly became a problem because of social media. This situation shows how easily culture can lead to fights when hateful words are involved and how quickly news spreads online affecting communities.
