    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The documentary was banned by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India. The timing of the documentary's release was quoted as an attempt to defame the Modi government and tarnish his image on international fora. BJP accused BBC of 'visceral political hatred' for Modi. It is worth noting that the apex court of India, the Supreme Court, has already confirmed SIT clean chit to PM Modi in Gujarat riots case by rejecting Zakia Jafri's plea in June, 2022.

    An Indian's view of the documentary

    I am from India. I would like to give an unbiased review of the documentary.

    The documentary looks very well researched but from one narrow and biased perspective. I condone everything bad that happened to people during the riots but it wasn't just one community that suffered. This documentary seems to be promoting the narrative of muslim victimhood. It portrays Modi as the ultimate villain but the arguments fall short everywhere.

    There's only claims and statements, I don't see any strong arguments or proof to back them.

    You really want to believe entire police force decided to stay quiet, you realize there's muslims in police too?

    CAA NRC is wrongfully portrayed and the students who gave their statements, have no idea what they are saying.

    I can point out 100s of such small details that are left out just to create a narrative of anti-India and anti-BJP and show BJP as anti-muslim. Disappointed by BBC.
