Unacademy is once again in the news, and again for the wrong reasons! The trending hashtag “#UninstallUnacademy” has gained substantial traction on Twitter, spurred by the dismissal of Karan Sangwan, a relatively lesser-known individual who had previously stirred the digital realm with his anti-BJP appeals.
For those unfamiliar with Karan Sangwan, he catapulted into the limelight by harnessing the power of social media to implore the public not to cast their votes in favor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This audacious move sparked conversations across various platforms, leading to both support and backlash.
But what exactly led to this rather abrupt turn of events? The answer lies in recent political developments that have sent ripples through the socio-political fabric of the nation. The BJP, in a series of sweeping reforms, has introduced changes that involve overhauls of significant legal components. The Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA) have all been subject to these transformative modifications. This far-reaching endeavor has sparked discussions and debates across the nation.
However, his recent ousting from Unacademy, a popular online education platform, has once again thrust him into the online spotlight. In the aftermath of his dismissal from Unacademy, a digital storm erupted. The hashtag #UninstallUnacademy began to trend, with users expressing a range of emotions and viewpoints. Roshan Rai, a vocal social media user, took to X [formerly Twitter] to share his perspective. He ingeniously suggested that Unacademy consider a logo change, humorously implying that the company might now be seen as aligned with the BJP. The irony here lies in the fact that Unacademy is a platform that provides a platform for some of the most opinionated voices – those of educators – yet is now at the center of a trolling storm from its own supporters.

Dr. Nimo Yadav, another influencer in the X-sphere, didn’t hold back either. In a fiery rant, he proclaimed that Unacademy had dismissed Karan Sangwan for speaking the truth. His sentiment resonated with many who believe that it’s high time the common people step forward and demonstrate their discontent with what they perceive as a move towards a more authoritarian stance. The confluence of free speech, political leanings, and corporate decisions has undoubtedly fueled the fervor surrounding this event.
This incident sheds light on the intricate dynamics of the digital age. Social media has empowered individuals to amplify their voices and connect with a global audience. However, it also serves as a double-edged sword, where a single statement or action can elicit fervent reactions, both positive and negative. Karan Sangwan’s case serves as a reminder that the interconnectedness of technology and socio-political ideologies can lead to unexpected consequences, altering the trajectories of individuals and institutions alike.
While Karan Sangwan’s appeal against the BJP may have garnered attention for various reasons, his subsequent departure from Unacademy has triggered a digital storm of its own. Unacademy is now in a dilemma, of choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea! Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!
