Well, as an Indian let me tell you this. We don't want a propaganda piece. I am not even a huge Modi fan, but he has been investigated by various courts including the Supreme Court of India and has not been found guilty. Will BBC make a documentary about the many crimes the British did in India? With the current geo political situation, the western nations sure want to taint his image, and even destabilize India if they can.

Speak for yourself. As an Indian, I don't want the government telling me what I can't watch.

> investigated by various courts including the Supreme Court of India

The same Supreme Court also ruled that the 2G Scam did not happen. Would you like to acquire an ownership interest in the Bandra-Whorli Sea Link?

They did even in the face of backlash from British Nationalists: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/historians-accuse-bbc-new...

> taint his image, and even destabilize India

So, Modi is India and India is Modi?

You can say whatever you want to. I haven't said Modi is India and India is Modi. It is far from that. I have faith that India's democracy will work. It has seen darker days during times of Indira Gandhi, but we didn't turn into a dictatorship. BJP started as an answer to bad ruling by the congress party. If in the future BJP becomes the new congress, a new political party or many of the thousands of existing political party will come into power. If you want to watch the documentary it is available in the internet. Just because it is removed from youtube doesn't mean its illegal to watch it. In fact, just because Modi banned it, in many states there has been public viewing of the documentary.
