I think he's an awesome leader. E.g. Hundreds of millions pulled out of Extreme poverty (according to the Economist). Nevertheless, it shouldn't be banned. If they want they should make a counter documentary.

Then we get onto more philosophical questions, would we ban fascist propaganda? Do we ban blunt misinformation?

People downvoted this. Haven't we banned Cambridge Analytica and RT news?

Cambridge analytica was a British political consulting firm that came to prominence through the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal

Which was responsible for stealing millions of peoples data for political ads

As for RT news: RT has regularly been described as a major propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.[2] Academics, fact-checkers, and news reporters (including some current and former RT reporters) have identified RT as a purveyor of disinformation[58] and conspiracy theories.[65] UK media regulator Ofcom has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality, including multiple instances in which RT broadcast "materially misleading" content.[72]

From wiki^

Banning a documentary about your role in riots is very suspicious. Its like saying to someone

“oh yeah, I didn’t kill 3 people 20 years and bury all of them beneath now police stations. “😐

I said that the modi documentary shouldn't be banned.

I was just stating that bans in itself aren't always bad.

He only likes a certain majority in India, and helps poverty within that majority while ignoring the rest

Buddhism and Jainism are a considerably less population than Sikhism, Islam, and Hinduism.

All he wants is votes from the 2 communities that share some considerably similar aspects with Hinduism.

Mind you, most voters in his party (and within his party), the BJP, think that you being Hindu AND being able to speak Hindi means that you are a true Indian.

The same BJP that institutes Hindutva and helps/partners with the RSS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva (terrorists) organization which is, pretty bad.

The BJP claims that Hindutva represents "cultural nationalism" and its conception of "Indian nationhood", but not a religious or theocratic concept.[115] It is "India's identity", according to the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat.[116]

Edit: if you downvote me, why? What I said is backed up by the sources that i have linked

This documentary isn't great. The laws that were passed prevent positive discrimination
