  What do you mean by "your showing nothing other than your clawness"?
context: Streisand effect.
  Didn’t care about this documentary at all, now I’m definitely going to watch it. >
  
  I've been trying to watch it, but can't find it. The only link I found was for the BBC's own site and they don't let you watch outside the UK
  any alternate links would be appreciated, wanna see this too
  Edit: Got it. Stop being overly original with the VPN suggestion. >
  
  Dailymotion!?!? Now there's a blast from the past!! >
  
  It's excellent for piracy largely because people seem to forget it exists. I've watched a lot of documentaries there I couldn't find anywhere else. >
  
  I just watched sasuke 2022 yesterday, because holy shit are they strict with uploads anywhere else on the entire internet. >
  
  I thought this was a Naruto reference but I just discovered something great. Thank you. >
  
  Tx man, was considering moving to the UK >
  
  Gonna move to Gujarat instead? >
  
  I hope OP isn't Muslim, then. >
  
  Or a Lower Caste >
  
  Or just likes clean air and water >
  
  Authoritarians and their love for banning everything >
  
  Have they told Reddit to remove links yet?

  he got immunity now coz he is prime Minister... >
  
  So you are saying its ok for the taliban to enter USA now? >
  
  when did I say that? I just
  told why he is able to travel to US
  it's not on me to decide who gets to or doesn't get to enter US. heck I'm not even a US citizen. >
  
  I mean technically the taliban is now govt official of afghan. Just trying to point out on the absurdities of geopolitics >
  
  Not one country recognizes the Taliban as the Afghan government so they aren't extended any official government designation or the rigths that come with that. Not even Pakistan and the UAE which recognised their previous incarnation before the bin Laden attacks. >
  
  There's no point. There isn't a single person who blindly believe and follow the government will change their views after watching this documentary and will just call it a “western propaganda” and move on. Only people who will believe this are ones who already know most of it. So there's just no point to this. >
  
  Exactly, the very same thing happened here in Brazil. Far-right president Bolsonaro literally posting a video on his own channel saying he'd like to eat human flesh and didn't lose a single vote for that. His supporters would just say it was "out of context" >
  
  There’s nothing the far-right and autocratic governments fear more than free flow of information and proper education for the masses. >
  
  Bad information and bad education? Let 'er rip! >
  
  Because they can't face the truth. >
  
  That was the long plan all along. Starting with the cowardly murder of Mahatma Gandhi by their religious fanatic predecessors. >
  
  Did Indians really believe the RSS and BJP had changed, or did they just hate Muslims so much they were willing to sacrifice democracy in exchange? >
  
  They just wanted change from the then current regime which was already grown /seen as corrupt from years and years of rule 
  There was also a feeling of stagnation and apathy to politics in most of the population (from anecdotal evidence) which the Modi campaign strongly addressed by making new bold promises based on some economic gains in his State. 
  So Imo, it wasn't the social factors that initially had them voted in but the economic/commerce ones. 
  Even today that is a major part of their campaigns. 
  So basically sacrificing some social/democratic freedoms for economic prosperity. A similar deal to ones made by Singapore and China in the past. 
  Note: This is just my observation/analysis based on being on ground and consuming information from multiple sources. This comment is not intended to promote any political org or take any particular stance. Peace. >
  
  Thanks, so as I understand it, India's economy under the Indian National Congress was schlerotic and the Indian voter turned to the BJP in order to deliver the same sort of economic growth Modi oversaw in Gujarat. And if that that democracy would be endangered and Indian Muslims were going to be persecuted, that was a sacrifice they were willing to make. That's one hell of a devil's bargain.
  As someone on the ground, what are your thoughts concerning the sacrifices made and the economic gains received in return? From the outside, it looks like India is poised to take off economically thanks to cheap Russian oil, capturing the manufacturing getting out of China, and India's own demographic dividend, but it seems like many of that is happening in spite of Modi's policies, not because of them. >
  
  WHile initially sold on the idea of economic prosperity and upliftment, eventually most BJP votes came from place of hate for muslims and other minorities. Nowadays the economic wellbeing isnt even an importnant political discourse. It's people who want to save the secular nature of India vs Modi supporters who want to dominate Indian social fabric. >
  
  
  Nowadays the economic wellbeing isnt even an importnant political discourse. It's people who want to save the secular nature of India vs Modi supporters who want to dominate Indian social fabric.
  
  That makes some sense, because now being the ruling party, it's not a great sell to dwell solely on economics as that opens them to criticism of some bad decisions during their administration.  
  Rather it's easier to deflect to other topics to cast light away from criticisms. While continuing to amp up [only] positive data regarding economics. Discourse opens one to criticism. But positive seeming data is still announced and pushed widely.
  
  It's people who want to save the secular nature of India vs Modi supporters who want to dominate Indian social fabric.
  
  That is seemingly the most loud part of the discussions yes. 
  But imo the considerations IRL are more complex than that one single factor. 
  I don't think it's right to flatten voters into abstract crudely labelled camps like that. This eventualy leads to situation in the US where there's othering of all voters not voting as you, rather than discussing all topics intensively and letting people vote as per the weightage they then personally assign to different concerns. >
  
  Pussyassbitch modi is scared of the truth >
  
  This is a clear admission that the documentary is exposing the truth.....
  The BBC's policy ( don't forget it's owned by the public not the government or private company) clearly states that any article or story that is challenged by the people involved have the right to the same amount of airtime to respond to the article....... so if it's not true Modi has the right to put his side out there..
  Demanding social media sites remove the sites that report and discuss the issue doesn't give the best impression......
  Just imagine the president of the US or the prime minister of any western countries decided that they will not attend any interviews either public or private.That means they don't need to be answerable to the people or account for their decisions and behaviour....
  Modi is not so far from the leaders like Putin or Erdogan of Turkey....... >
  
  how is there any proof that supports these claims? the investigation on this topic happened when congress(the opposition) was in power. so all this documentary does is say that all the institutions of india and the opposition are both working for modi since before he even came to power(which is just a stupid thing to say).
  He hasn't come out against the riots publicly and thats the only thing thats considered wrong on his part, and it is a political decision as far as i can tell. >
  
  Basically this action is an admission of wrong doing, be it legal or moral >
  
  I really appreciate that this documentary covers Godra Train burning properly and doesn't try to play it down. >
  
  
  They recently proposed modification to our laws that if the government deemed anything to be "fake", it would have to be taken down from all digital channels.
  
  What could possibly go wrong?
  Is there any system of (reliable, transparent etc.) review for this process, or does the government just get to define the "reality" Indians are allowed to experience? >
  
  Even if there was a reliable review process it would be corrupted by special (and wealthy) interests. >
  
  Watching it now, thanks Indian Government for pointing out this documentary. >
  
  So much for 'democracy" in India. >
  
  You really like RT for some reason. >
  
  No. >
  
  Acting like a dictatorship? So much for the biggest democracy in world... >
  
  They can always file a case against the ban in Indian court and this is what makes India a democracy. >
  
  I wish whoever good luck with that. >
  
  I can just smell the sweat from the CCP bots and the Modi bots fighting over this story. >
  
  They will fight because they are bots with orders to fight, but many of their larger objectives could be complementary and cooperation could be mutually beneficial. >
  
  I can't believe after almost 2 decades later, ppl are finding out Modi and his Hindutva goons were responsible for Muslim massacres under his leadership in the vilest act of mob lynching in Gujrat. He was called a butcher for no reason! >
  
  Never heard someone calling modi butcher >
  
  Time to download backup copies. >
  
  This is a perfectly normal action for a democracy. /s >
  
  These days it is. >
  
  Hindutva Reddit is pretty butthurt over this lol >
  
  Why would I be butthurt >
  
  Upvoting and Commenting for visibility! >
  
  Just a note:
  After 10 hours, as of this posting, not a single person has proved the documentary is wrong.
  Not. One. >
  
  Would be hard to do considering that the BBC directly asked pro-BJP officials and commentators for their opinions and presented them in this doc. If they wanted to make a simple propaganda piece, the BBC wouldn't have given these people a platform to proclaim their own views. >
  
  Thanks for the reminder! I'm going to watch it now. :) >
  
  India wake up. This is the road to dictatorship. >
  
  Not taking the word of the guy who confirmed WMDs in Iraq as gospel truth is the path to dictatorship. Got it. >
  
  Censoring content nationwide that is negative to the government is the path to dictatorship.
  Of course, you may respond "the whole documentary, including the interviews with pro-BJP Indians, is fake." But then, why is the government so offended by it? Just call it "a theory debunked by our Supreme Court " and move on. >
  
  That's what I've been saying, we should hold free screening to show the countrymen that the Brits have finally lost it. It's the comedic blockbuster of this year. Imagine a documentary on holocaust and in it they say we got no idea who did it. Some say it might be Nazis but we can't say for sure. >
  
  You guys making it big news tbh, this Gujarat riots is spoken by every Modi opponents in every election. It won't affect anything. He is just diverting topic. With Ram mandir forming in January, He probably again use Hindutva for winning >
  
  It's not the crime. It's the cover-up >
  
  It's also the crime. >
  
  Add India to the list of nations with neofascist governments now. >
  
  Now? It's been that since 2014 >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  New Delhi: News reports on Saturday revealed that the Narendra Modi government has asked both YouTube and Twitter to remove links posting the BBC documentary about the 2002 Gujarat communal violence.
  According to the Indian Express, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has directed YouTube to block multiple videos all of which had contained episode 1 of the BBC documentary.
  'India: The Modi Question,' looks at "The tensions between Prime Minister Modi and the country's Muslim minority", as well as "Investigating claims" concerning his role in the large-scale communal violence that erupted in Gujarat in the months of February and March, in 2002, that left "Over a thousand dead.".

  Indian media keeps referring to pogroms and lynchings as "communal violence". >
  
  Link please…I wanna know what he did now! >
  
  Modi is a Hindu nationalist and head of a far-right nationalist party. When he was Chief Minister of Gujarat a train caught on fire. Modi blamed it on “Muslim terrorists” and actively encouraged Hindus to attack Muslim citizens. This led to large scale rioting which left many people (mostly Muslim) dead. >
  
  People like you just see the news from surface and believe it as a truth the train was deliberately being fired by vora people of muslim community in godhra a muslim majority area because the train was on its way from babri masjid where mosque was demolished cause it was build on the hindu temple and hindus were returning back to their home from that demolition and fumed muslim burnt down the train while people where in their 
  So please do atleast a bit of your research before saying something like this on sensitive issue like this. >
  
  Unbiased proof to back up your claims? >
  
  No. Because that court is in no way “unbiased”. And I worry about anyone who thinks it is. >
  
  If you don't believe in a supreme court of India's unbiasness than why bbc is suddenly interfering in this riot when election will be held in year and now if you think about the larger picture u can understand bbc is just being used to grow hate for indian government in power so now can you withstand bbc's almighty unbiasness while making this documentary >
  
  Anti Muslim Modi supporter spotted. You aren't fooling anyone with your lies. >
  
  Say all you want but your showing nothing other than your clawness if you can't counter me without a intellectual answer than you can scream at your top your lung about your opinion on me for countering with source while being asked for it not like you who has nothing to answer than degradeing me
