#India #TheModiQuestion I've seen it, it's an excellent documentary. Search for it on Odysee and DailyMotion. Highly recommended. #SouthAsia #Politics #Censorship https://globalvoices.org/2023/02/20/indias-war-against-a-bbc-documentary-on-modi

Watching #TheModiQuestion - feeling very grateful that #BBC, Indian journalists and courageous eyewitnesses have brought to light this nationalist violence against the Muslim minority. There have been BJP reprisals. In Britain there are attempts to import it, so we must learn, be careful, be sensitive. We certainly have a jihadi problem and it certainly isn't a Muslim problem. We certainly have a Hindu nationalism problem and it certainly isn't a Hindu problem.
The thin skin of the #NaMo government & its abuse of authoritarian power is really…something 🤦🏽‍♂️:
“BBC Offices In India Raided By Tax Officials Amid Modi Documentary Fallout”, The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/14/bbc-offices-india-raided-tax-officials-modi-documentary-fallout).

The police raids in #India against offices of the #BBC clearly serve to intimidate #media critical of PM #Modi.
These wannabe-authoritarian antics should absolutely be condemned by everyone cherishing #mediafreedom.
India threatens to go down a very dark path under the leadership of Modi and the #BJP. #TheModiQuestion

I just read an article in the Feb 10th issue of "The Week" that says Elon Musk is blocking this BBC Investigation report from Twitter users in India. Interesting.

I found the second "series" or "season" or Part 2 of the BBC documentary #TheModiQuestion #IndiaTheModiQuestion on billibili.tv. It is a bit confusing because Part 1 has 2 episodes. I am not sure about Part 2. But this is the first place I have found to stream any of part 2.

I guess since #Modi is banning the BBC Documentary The Modi Question in India, I'll try to watch it. I've known he's an illiberal leader who probably owes his election to social media. #TheModiQuestion #BBC
The Indian govts takedown of #TheModiQuestion documentary by the #BBC might end up with a Streisand effect [1] ... well, at least it got me to look for it.
[1]: The Streisand effect is the way in which attempts to hide, remove, or censor information can lead to the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information

"It’s fairly revealing to say you didn’t notice the world’s largest democracy issuing a public statement — on your own platform! — that you’d censored a journalistic investigation. The indifference is striking when Musk has spent the past couple of months castigating Twitter’s former leadership for allegedly colluding with various groups..."

Die #Doku über den #hindu-nationalistischen #Premierminister von #Indien Narendra Modi schlägt Wellen.
Ohne #VPN kann ich #TheModiQuestion bei der #BBC nicht gucken und auf #Youtube ist es nicht zu finden (logisch, #Modi hats ja löschen lassen. Moment, in DE???)...
Aber auf #Bilibili.tv kann man die beiden Teile gucken.
Hier die Seite der BBC mit Beschreibung und Infos:

Modi blocking the BBC documentary for slander should not be allowed in a democracy. What is next? Banning news media that is not favorable? #modi #bbc #themodiquestion
