I stand with Indian Muslims, Sikhs, Dalits and all indians who have been oppressed by the Indian government for so long.

Bruh simple solution: Release documentary for public view, and match wid official documents, are everything facts or not. If lie is being shown, then Label it as a propaganda and lie, otherwise accept the truth! If ur banning it before allowing public to view means u r trying to hide something!
(Ps altho I agree that A foreign media making a documentary on Indian riots, is threat to sovereignty since u never know whether they induce hatred for the country)

[shafinrahman]

banning any content is a sure fire way to make it insanely popular.

[Imrankhan-okqz]

Documentary should be released in India

I see the cruelties with my own eyes in Gujarat riots. Gujarat Police arranged and helped BJP on attacks. Culprit Modi and BJP are deadly poison for India. People should understand the reality, should not become prey to their political hunger.

[priyanksavaliya]

They should make documentary on Churchill Britishers rules : Divide and rule
They should make documentary on jaliyawala bagh but they never showed because they are maas murdere's

[aslamaslam]

BBC documentary should be shown to everyone 👍🏻

[cynicalnerdycinephile]

being an Indian and from gujarat, It's hard for me to fathom how some people are still supporting Modi. People like him are ruining this nation and there's next to no social and intellectual development going on in the nation. If he blocks the BBC doc, we'll make our own documentary and get the truth out

Anti Muslims riots ? The riots were because Muslims burned alive and killed Kar Sewaks returning back to Gujarat. Call them anti hindu riots. The news and media is the reason for all the chaos in India.

[KING-nize]

So when Great Britain returning our 43 Trillion dollars??

Recently, India's most well-known film script-writer Salim Khan (Salmaan Khan's father) has said to a senior journalist in an interview: "Does anyone remember who the chief minister of Maharashtra was during the Mumbai riots which were no less deadly than the Gujarat riots of 2002?"

Does anyone recall the name of the chief minister of UP during Malliana and Meerut riots or that of the Bihar CM when the Bhagalpur or Jamshedpur riots under Congress regimes took place?

Do we hear names of earlier chief ministers of Gujarat under whose charge, hundreds of riots took place in post-Independence India?

Does anyone remember who was in-charge of Delhi's security when the 1984 massacre of Sikhs took place in the capital of India?

How come Narendra Modi has been singled out as the Devil Incarnate as if he personally carried out all the killings during the riots of 2002?"

No speck of doubt about what Salim Khan has said. The criminal brigade has always been silent on Godhra Carnage that led to 2002 riots.

When one says Gujarat's agriculture growth is 10-11% since whole last decade
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says he made the Asia's biggest solar plant,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says Gujarat is the only state in the whole of India to provide 24*7 and 365 days electricity to almost all of its 18, 000
villages,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says - World Bank's statement of 2011 said, Gujarat roads are equivalent to international standards,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says Gujarat is the first State in country to have "high speed wireless Broadband service in its all 18, 000 villages,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says Forbes Magazine rated Ahmadabad as the fastest
growing city in India and 3rd in the world,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says Gujarat Tourism is growing faster than ever before,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says according to central govt's Labour Bureau's report, Gujarat has the lowest unemployment rate in country,
The other says 2002 Riots!

When Narendra Modi is being chosen as the best current Indian leader in
almost all surveys & polls again and again
The other says 2002 Riots!

When one says 2003-2013 are the only 10 straight years in Gujarat history which are totally riot-free,
The other STILL says 2002 Riots!

But when we remind them about riots which occurred during Congress and in Communist Party rule :

We are not interested in 2002, We are only interested in 2022 and our future.

If you feel the facts need to be brought into focus, you must consider sharing it with your groups.

How can a guy who was behind a massacre and large killing be a Prime Minister of a country!! The country is really crazy..

[Menarebrave_]

When is BBC releasing documentry on Jallianwala Bagh massacre? And when are they releasing how British colonialism caused over 165 million deaths and how British empire stole at least $45 trillion in wealth from India When is BBC releasing documentry Bengal famine in the year 1943 when estimated 3 million Indians starved to death, while the British government exported food and banned grain imports.

The funny part is india is still called world's largest democracy.

This documentary should have come out a long time ago. Why is it now? Wasn't there a congess agenda to defame the face value of the Indian government in the world, especially when other countries be it Pakistan, lanka, Nepal etc. are struggling with their financial dilemmas And some of the European counties after Ukrainian war ??? Rahul Jodo's physical movements India also attempted to brainstorm people and digital movements are anti-Indian documentaries. They also have huge financial funds to produce such.. Once this documentary done maximum defame people and motto of such videos, others videos will be started until Rahul become prime minister. The targeted mind set is very clear... who will benefit from all of these end results. The opposition party plays an important role in it. During Indira and Nehru tenure there were there were riots why not BBC taken over those subjects especially Babar I masjids riots, sikhs riots... come on Congress... do prepare and release next set documentaries and act as if you don't know anything.... Indians are eagerly awaiting for Nehru family to continue their dynasty rule....

[joreview]
