Its absurd to claim that nothing was done to stop it from happening, if that was the case then thing would have been much worse. It was brought under control as effectively as it is possible when the riots are happening at communal level.

Have you not seen riots happen in London few years ago, or the black lives matter, or so many others in the past. To use you own argument, why did they not stop it immediately? Because it takes some time and effort to control it when large populations are involved.

And nobody is asking to cover all the history, Nuance can be covered with small hints and by giving little bit of background. Otherwise People who dont know India's history only see what they see in the documentary and go on making up their mind.

Plus BBC is funded by UK government's so its essentially a mouthpiece for them. So Independent journalism is not really expected from them anyways.

I didn't claim that nothing was done to stop it from happening. Please re-read my comment.

I was living in London in 2011 when the riots happened. There was no parties/movements inciting anyone to kill/expel/hate a different group. The police killed one guy and that was the outcome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Mark_Duggan . Of course you can't stop this immediately, but you can stop people from spreading hate and stop yourself from associating with said people.

The documentary... honestly, no one cared about it. Maybe many Indians did care, but Indians should know that background. No one made a big deal outside India because usually people don't care that much about happened on the other part of the world (do you?). Anyway, how do you go from this to censor the content?

Most of BBC funding comes from a TV license paid by people with TVs, not from the government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Un...

Now, I'm not going to say that they're the most independent and serious source in the world, but they went after the Tony Blair government (centre-left) in the 2000s, criticised the following conservative governments, and as you can see, the government doesn't like them that much: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/jan/17/governments-at...

In any case, I really don't like media censorship or governments that go after people who criticise them or selectively apply laws. For me it's wrong.
