Episode 2 of the BBC documentary on Modi came out.
Episode 1 basically is "Modi is the mastermind behind the 2002 Gujarat riots"
Episode 2 basically is "Under Modi, Indian Muslims are second-class citizens"
One can debate if these characterizations are correct
Perish the thought, eh.
The truth is surely that neither of the above is as simplistic as painted there.
But there is still enough substance in both accusations to reflect badly on him.
Sure, as long as the BBC knows that these documentaries only help Modi/BJP electoral prospects in 2024. In fact I am sure Modi order social media to censor these documentaries exactly to get the opposition (INC) to complain about it as to make sure potential BJP voters are aware of such documentaries.
I don't think the Indian electoral effects are uppermost in the BBC's thinking when it decides on its programming.
