As Aamir Khan's Son's Netflix Film Halted, An 1862 Case And PM Modi's Old Blog On It

Interestingly, when Narendra Modi was Chief Minister of Gujarat, he praised Karsandas Mulji in a blog post, acknowledging his contributions to social reform and the bravery he exhibited during the Maharaj Libel Case.

In the annals of India's legal history, few cases have had as profound an impact as the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case.

This landmark case saw Karsandas Mulji, a fearless journalist and social reformer, take a stand against the powerful religious establishment of the Vallabhacharya sect.

This case is at the centre of 'Maharaj', the launch film of Junaid Khan, Aamir Khan's son, whose release by Netflix has been stayed by the Gujarat High Court.
