The Streisand effect :)

I agree - there is nothing in the documentary about Modi and the BJP that has not been hashed out dozens of times before. Its all the more surprise that it is getting suppressed, which will lead to people watching it even more than if it was ignored.

The BJP is media savvy, but using the Indian bureaucracy and especially the Tax department to score points is clumsy.

Clumsy? This is Amit Shah's standard playbook. Remember how many prominent Congress leaders were arrested for tax evasion.

Amit Shah using the Tax department or the Enforcement Directorate as tools is clumsy because it makes it obvious that it is a hatchet job.

BJP's social media attacks on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress are effective because they seem to be more organic.
