JNUSU gave a call for screening of the “India:The Modi Question” documentary which was blocked by Modi Govt.The JNU admin siding by the govt snapped electricity-internet to stop the screening from happening. In response, the students’ union said: “The screening is a voluntary action by the students… They added: “By screening the documentary/movie, we do not seek to create any form of disharmony. The purpose of the screening is only to watch the documentary on campus. This is happening for the first time.” She added that whenever there was a power cut, the campus community was “notified” by the administration “but this time we got no notice.” There is no deliberate attempt to cut power,” said an official in the Union Education Ministry.

The government had denounced and banned the first part of the documentary, which aired last week in the U.K..

The series then moves to August 5, 2019, and the changes to the legal status of Jammu and Kashmir (i.e., the abrogation of Article 370). “Essentially the gloves are of,” one of the commentators, Chris Ogden, a political scientist says. The series is sprinkled with graphic videos and images—starting with a 2017 lynching in Jharkhand. local time, starts with a repeat of introductory scenes shown in the first part. and described a British government report that held Prime Minister Modi , then Chief Minister of Gujarat, responsible for the 2002 Gujarat riots. It seeks to trace the evolution of the relationship between the Modi government and India’s Muslim minority.

The second episode looks at the BJP government's relationship with the rise in lynchings, reading down of Article 370, CAA and communal violence in Delhi.

The UK government report was shown to hold Modi “directly responsible” for the violence. The censoring was felt necessary despite Modi being shown putting forth his point of view and denying allegations in interviews to the BBC in the documentary. The result was a “communications blackout” as “direct control” of the region was seized by New Delhi. The film’s description says that Modi and his government reject any suggestions that their policies reflect any prejudice towards Muslims, “but these policies have been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations such as Amnesty International. Now it is only “partly free”, the film says. Thousands of NGOs have shut in India after 2015, claims the film. Amnesty in India says it was forced to suspend operations by the government. Often the victims were named as the perpetrators of the violence. With these developments, a new policy of “Indianisation” is taking place, according to scholar, author and longtime India-watcher Christophe Jaffrelot. Though all the charges against him regarding the Gujarat riots were cleared by the highest court of India, it is inevitable that the “concerns will not go away”, the new episode claims. Essentially, the gloves are off,” Chris Ogden, an expert on Indian politics and associate professor at the University of St Andrews, can be heard saying in the film. It says that it inspects “the troubled relationship” between India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s Muslim minority, after Modi was re-elected in 2019 with an increased majority over his government’s mandate in 2014.

AK Antony's son resigned from his Congress roles a day after he took a different stance on the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Amid the raging controversy over the documentary on 2002 Gujarat riots, critical of then chief minister Narendra Modi, Anil Antony on Tuesday said he considers BBC as a state-sponsored channel with a long history of prejudices. In his resignation letter, he said he was made aware that 'the coterie around the leadership' is keen to work with a bunch of 'sycophants and chamchas'. However, by now I have been made well aware that you, your colleagues and the coterie around the leadership are only keen to work with a bunch of sycophants and chamchas, who would unquestionably be at your beck and call. He said he was asked to remove his tweet on BBC by those who ‘fight for free speech’. The Congress leader said he was facing "intolerant calls" to retract his tweet to which he did not give in. Sadly, we don't have much common ground," his letter read.

In response, the students’ union said, “The screening is a voluntary action by the students… Ghosh also told The Indian Express, “JNU held screenings of movies like The Kashmir Files but we never got an advisory from the administration. However, sources said such a prolonged power cut on campus was unusual and BSES- which supplies power to the campus, had no mention of the outage on its website. Around 10.30 pm, some stones were thrown at the crowd of students that had gathered to watch the documentary, but in the dark, it was not clear where these had come from.

Dr Mansoor should realise that not living in the past is not a choice for Indian Muslims, it’s a compulsion to salvage self in the crisis of today. Imagine Dr Mansoor’s “not live in the past” argument in the context of the anti-Sikh riots of 1984. The points enumerated by Dr Mansoor make me sad not because he is playing the game by the rules of the regime but because he is a teacher. Dr Mansoor’s lack of exploration of the moral landscape of those times makes him argue that the Muslims of India no longer live in the past. The Gujarat riots of 2002 are a blot on the face of the country. Documentaries like the one in question are a documentation of the event.
