India: The Modi Question series: The never-ending saga of oozing elitism, racism, and the mental superiority of colonial mindsets—vividly captured in the ideology dubbed “White Man’s Burden”—is glaringly visible in the reportage of the BBC, the state-sponsored broadcaster of the United Kingdom. But with the recent meddling in India’s internal affairs, the BBC has audaciously stooped to a new low. The BBC has released a so-called “investigative” series (India: The Modi Question) on the elected head of the largest democracy in the world, Indian PM Narendra Modi.

In its full glory, Britain used to gloat that ‘the sun never sets on the British Empire’. But in the absence of resource-rich colonies to exploit, Britain is undergoing a sharp economic downturn. In fact, there is a high possibility that the UK’s economy may undergo a period of recession if the nation doesn’t undertake timely measures to correct its failing ways.
But in these troubling times, the British media seems eager to indulge in sadistic pleasure by rubbing salt on the wounds of its former colony in order to deflect attention away from its suffering. For this, it is again resorting to its notorious strategy of stroking divisions among communities in India. On January 17, it released a series titled “India: The Modi Question.”
