Delhi university's punishment of students over Modi doc ‘chilling'
Two students have been 'debarred' by a top Indian institution after screening a controversial BBC documentary critiquing the country's prime minister – a move that some academics fear could have a 'chilling effect' on free speech on the nation's campuses. When it was released in January, the series India: The Modi Question – which investigates Narendra Modi's role in riots in Gujarat that left more than 1,000 people dead in 2002 – was condemned by the country's government, with several universities issuing warnings to students against screening it.
