The band composed, “‘Bono, what are you doing on December 15th, 2019?’ The first-ever U2 appear in India that is the thing that, as The Joshua Tree Tour 2019 heads to Mumbai. Pre-deals from next Tuesday, September 24.” They also included an interesting and funny promotional video, asserting it will be the greatest night of their life. Nonetheless, their planning is by all accounts very off, as per twitter. However, there was a backlash on social media by netizens, as a few Twitter users have scrutinized them for paying no regard to the Indian abominations in Kashmir, before choosing to perform in India. A user claimed he abruptly lost his long haul legends, after the band professed to support India, as far as playing a show as well as far as their ‘functional democracy’ as referenced in their interview.

I hear you well and must admit there is enough substance to the argument but maybe the timing of it while India puts an entire region of Kashmir under curfew for 7 weeks leaves a bad taste. Bono after all is not revered just for his status as an artist. He has stood out for more

To which another user started to shield their choice, guaranteeing that not every one of the individuals living in India is lawbreakers or merit scorn. Proposing that the show intends no mischief to anybody.

Oh no ….. Bono don’t do this ! One hero I didn’t want to lose …

At that point, there was the user who chosen to lecture profound quality as far as causing the band to understand that 8,000,000 individuals are under attack in Kashmir. What’s more, requested that they re-examine their decision to perform in India.

Do you realise that 8 million people are under siege in Kashmir? Perhaps you should reconsider and register your protest given your claimed commitment to human rights?

Alongside another user who felt this decision was amazingly baffling. Including that it is unavoidable for the band to be ignorant of the circumstance in Kashmir and in this way, settling on their choice very implicating.

Disappointing. I’m sure you all have seen what’s going on in the news with Kashmir right now. Expected more from you guys.

In a recent interview with Bombay Times, the band expressed that “We made India a need on this visit and we are energized. It’s a finish of such a significant number of long periods of our desire to get to India and meet our Indian group of spectators.”
