About This Trend

UAPA stands for Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, a law in India aimed at preventing unlawful activities and punishing those who commit them. Season 87 is a satirical hashtag that originated from a popular Indian web series, where the protagonists joke about the law being wielded as a tool to suppress dissent. The trend #uaapseason87 is popular on social media as it symbolizes the growing concern and criticism of the Indian government's allegedly arbitrary use of the UAPA law to silence political opponents, activists, and minorities, leading to a surge in online protests and demands for reform.
