Decisive trial of the British broadcasting corporation (BBC)
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), a global media conglomerate, is second to none when it comes to Hindumisia and hatred for India. Other media houses such as The Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, TIME, and Al-Jazeera have all learned the tricks of this disinformation trade from the BBC. The BBC is the main purveyor of anti-India propaganda, which fuels the anti-India narratives that are so ubiquitous. The BBC has also continued to portray India as a Nation of the poor, the wretched, and worse, adherents of Satanic cults (as they see Sanatan Dharma !). The BBC was born in 1922 as a public service broadcaster in England. Today, it reaches every corner of the world through satellite TV and the internet, shaping opinions and often creating them. So why are we discussing this 102-year-old media house ?
The purpose of talking about this global ideological bully
The documentary titled ‘BBC on Trial’, which exposes the anti-India and anti-Hindu face of the BBC, was released on the night of 25th October during the three-day global event ‘Reclaiming Bharat’. This event was organised by ‘The Jaipur Dialogues’. The documentary was broadcast through various well-known and devout Hindu Online media platforms. Global Hindu Federation, the producer of the documentary, expressed special gratitude to ‘The Jaipur Dialogues’, ‘String Reveals’, ‘Prachyam’, ‘Swarajya Mag’ and ‘Sanatan Prabhat’ for their support in disseminating the documentary.
This documentary has been released on the OTT platforms ‘String Reveals’ and ‘Prachyam’, as well as on the YouTube channel of the ‘Global Hindu Federation’. It is written and directed by Pandit Satish Sharma, the President of the Global Hindu Federation, and the video was edited by Vinod Kumar of ‘String Reveals’. Many Hindus from India, UK, USA and New Zealand contributed to the production of this documentary.
Fanatical hatred for India
BBC plays an important role in the global anti-India deep state machinery. They have leveraged Goebbels’ principles of propaganda to paint Indians, Hindus in particular, as intolerant, violent and Islamophobic. This type of anti-India propaganda is not particularly new where the BBC is concerned. In 1970, they aired two documentaries – Phantom India and Calcutta – which presented a bleak picture of India. India, which had shed the shackles of British imperialism two decades before this, was progressing swiftly. Yet, the BBC decided to focus on poverty with these highly biased documentaries. Their anti-India stance regarding Kashmir is well-known to the world. They leave no stone unturned when it comes to favouring Pakistan or showing Jihadi terrorists in a sympathetic light.
In 1995, Jihadis targeted Charar-e-Sharief (Budgam, Kashmir), reducing the shrine to ashes. The BBC in its report, showed visuals of Russian tanks bombing Chechnya, fueling rumours that the Indian armed forces had destroyed the shrine. This single example should suffice to expose BBC’s obnoxious propaganda.
Author-Journalist Ashali Varma writes that her first experience with the BBC in India was quite an eye-opener. BBC’s correspondents were searching for news on rapes and mob lynchings which could make headlines. This obsession with digging up negative content on a vibrant Nation of 140 crore people illustrates BBC’s ideological leanings. This anti-Hindu ideology was hard at work when in 2002, the BBC turned a blind eye to the Godhra massacre while playing up the ensuing riots to malign the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi. The same anti-India ideology was at work when BBC conferred the disreputable title of ‘Rape capital of the world’ on Delhi after the Nirbhaya case. The documentary will aim to demolish the BBC’s prim and proper facade and expose the rot within.
The BBC’s duplicitous nature – Hindu gaurakshaks are vigilantes, while cattle smugglers are victims. ‘Kashmir Files’ is anti-Muslim rhetoric, while ‘PK’ is a fight against superstitions in Hinduism. Christmas, celebrated with over eight crore felled trees, is seen as a joyous occasion, while Ganeshotsav is considered harmful for the environment.
BBC Global Disinformation Team and BBC Verify are an exhibition in mental gymnastics for portraying anti-Hindu incidents as those resulting from anti-Muslim sentiments. They tried to pass off the hundreds of attacks on Bangladeshi Hindus and temples by Muslim fanatics in August 2024 as grossly exaggerated claims by Hindu activists saying, “The far-right videos distorting the truth of Bangladesh minority attacks !” Even when a Hindu Brajmandal Yatra was attacked by a Muslim mob in Nuh (Haryana) in July 2023, BBC reported that Hindu mobs attacked Muslims. It is unfortunate that the vast majority of Hindu society is ignorant of this international ploy and is gullible enough to consume this poisonous propaganda. BBC claims a weekly readership of around 8 crores in India alone. Imagine the kind of influence they wield !
Expel anti-Hindu BBC from India
Israel did not take too kindly to Al-Jazeera’s sympathetic reporting on Hamas after the October 7th massacre and promptly shut down their offices there. Today, India has to fight a war of narratives and may want to take a leaf out of Israel’s book. ‘BBC on Trial’ is a welcome step in that direction. Pt. Satish Sharma, President of Global Hindu Foundation, has relentlessly pursued every lead to create this documentary. He says, “For eight years, I tried to reason with the BBC office in London regarding its anti-India bias in reporting, but they did not pay heed. This is why I decided to create BBC on Trial”. This documentary may be the spark that will ignite a mass movement which will culminate in the expulsion of the bigoted, colonialist, anti-Hindu BBC from India.
It is the duty of every Hindu to participate in this fight against the BBC as it is the need of the hour.
