Not sure why the offices have been raided, corruption in Indian offices are not new, just because they are the BBC does not make its staff immune.

The show itself adds nothing new in real evidence that can be taken to court, however there is a serious risk it create communal disharmony. Muslims and Hindus have found peace since the event, Indians see it as stirring the pot just before the 2024 elections.

If Muslims and Hindus have found peace then this would not create disharmony...

Because our friends have some nasty people in every community that are still willing to instigate and use this as a tool

Which means it sounds more like living under tyranny through threat of violence more than harmony.

no riots happen everywhere, just look at the UK in 2011, depends on if people have the tools and venom to spread them

> Muslims and Hindus have found peace since the event,

So the 2020 anti-muslim Delhi riots didn't happen? Neither did the everyday Muslim lynchings across the country?

No just like the anti hindu riots in Bengal. But thats not the point, we are talking about Gujarati Hindus and Muslims, completely different state, language and people.

You're employing a logical fallacy called whatabooutism.

Regardless, you still managed to prove my point that there definitely hasn't been peace between Hindus and Muslims since 2002

I wonder what the Muslims in India think.

An equivalent list could be made, just with the numbers of 400k Hindus that were exodus in Kashmir. Thats not the point, the point is the view from India is a British outlet like the BBC is meddling with Indian upcoming elections. There is already decades of suspicion around what the British did to create divides between Hindus and Muslims with partition, so this is treated with high suspicion.

1. "Muslims and Hindus have found peace since the event"

2. "An equivalent list could be made, just with the numbers of 400k Hindus that were exodus in Kashmir."

Thanks for proving my point.

"Muslims and Hindus have found peace since the event"

"In November 2022, at an election rally in Khambhat [Gujarat], Indian Home Minister Amit Shah boasted of demolitions undertaken by the BJP in Muslim areas. By emphasizing the issue of clearing out alleged `fake mazars (Islamic shrines or mausoleums)` [...] Salma Ben, 50, a resident of Akbarpur, has suffered for simply being a Muslim in Khambhat more times than she can remember. In February 2019, she recalled for The Diplomat, her house was burned down by a violent mob chanting Hindu mantras."

they were rohingya areas, yes muslim, but a immigrant community that had illegaly created settlements, nothing to do with them following islam, does not make one above law and order

"just before the 2024 elections"

Elections are in 15 months, so the election cycle is in three quarters right now. That is not "just before elections", much like 9 pm is not "just before midnight".
