The festival's decision to cancel its event in Mumbai as a result of a politically charged, pro-Palestinian online campaign indicates a capitulation to public pressure. This act, seen under the lens of public and political behavior, reflects a reluctance to engage robustly with political controversy, which is detrimental from an anti-fascist perspective because it undermines the resilience expected of organizations facing politically motivated campaigns.
