Whataboutism - the BJP and their ties to the RSS is well documented and known.

Nobody said otherwise.

BBC and their racism and racist roots are well known.

You’re merely doubling down on the whataboutism.

You keep using that word, "whataboutism". It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Pointing out BBC's racist bias is not "whataboutism".

Western countries have no problems with banning entire channels like RT and Al Jazeera, but God forbid that a biased piece of shit "documentary" be banned from a propaganda outlet; then the heaven is falling!!

You’re doing nothing but distracting from the discussion, as others are attempting to do. But some of us aren’t falling for it.

Please remember that the BBC isn't state media because [semantics].

Do elected officials in the UK government tell the BBC what to say?

They don't? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jan/25/richard-sharp-...

"Government" is more than elected officials. Defining the BBC to be outside of government is British semantics.

The BBC operates independently of the government. That is a fact.

RT, for example, takes direction directly from the Kremlin and is nothing more than a propaganda hose.

The BBC is part of the government. Claiming otherwise relies on semantics about which parts of a government are called "the government".
