For those who don’t know, Fatwa is basically a legal announcement that lets an Islam scholar declare his judgment on any kind of legal issue about Islam. Normally fatwa has smaller punishments but in rarer cases, the death penalty is applied. On the day ‘The Kashmir Files’ was announced, a fatwa was issued against the director which put Vivek’s life at risk.
