Ms. Narwal was not the only Indian caught in the crosshairs of a social media trolling campaign. After India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan on May 7, several Hindutva-promoting handles on X took it upon themselves to target fellow Indians whose opinions differed from theirs in any way. Users who shared posts that promoted pacificism, lamented the loss of lives due to war, expressed regret over shattered India-Pakistan relations, worried for Kashmiri civilians, or disagreed with the name ‘Operation Sindoor’ as they felt it patriarchal, were widely targeted and shamed online.
