Modi regime’s fanatic attempt to stop BBC documentary’s screening lowered India’s stature

The alacrity with which the Modi government used a law that cites ‘emergency’ provisions to stop Indians from watching the BBC documentary ‘India: The Modi Question’ is quite intriguing. In 2013, while addressing a public meeting, Modi had said that people earlier did not rely on the news coverage of the Doordarshan and looked to the BBC for “true and accurate” information. The BBC is certainly not the pliable media of India under Modi rule.
