I most likely wouldn't have bothered with the documentary.

But oh boy do I wanna see it now - what is it that Modi doesn't want me to see about him? Definite watch for me!



== link redacted, contact me if you want it ==

My great-grandparents were victims of pogroms and my grandfather's family was killed by the nazis. The BBC doesn't go far enough in explaining why someone who led ethnic massacres isn't fit to lead a country.


Who "led ethnic massacres"?

Why did you redact the link? Seems a bit odd for such a specific and strong accusation against some unknown person?


The link was redacted once I'd allowed about 32 Gb worth of illegal downloads off my private server, elucidating which known person led which ethnic massacres.

[edit] please review the context of this thread and/or watch the BBC documentary in question for a deeper understanding of the topic.


I have no idea what you're even on about any more; you're talking in riddles with vague references to this and that, but nowhere is it clear what you actually mean.


The Streisand effect :)

I agree - there is nothing in the documentary about Modi and the BJP that has not been hashed out dozens of times before. Its all the more surprise that it is getting suppressed, which will lead to people watching it even more than if it was ignored.

The BJP is media savvy, but using the Indian bureaucracy and especially the Tax department to score points is clumsy.

Clumsy? This is Amit Shah's standard playbook. Remember how many prominent Congress leaders were arrested for tax evasion.


Amit Shah using the Tax department or the Enforcement Directorate as tools is clumsy because it makes it obvious that it is a hatchet job.

BJP's social media attacks on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are effective because they seem to be more organic.
