BBC is always against India...BBC ni india ninchi ban cheyali

True India map Kuda sarigaa chupincharu chetta na dash gallu.

In The Hindu Business Line, the reporter Premen Addy criticised the BBC's reportage on South Asiaas consistently anti-India and pro-Islamist,[50]underreporting India's economic and social achievements and political and diplomatic efforts and disproportionately highlighting and exaggerating problems in the country. In addition, Addy alluded to discrimination against Indian anchors and reporters in favour of Muslim Pakistanis and Bangladeshis who are hostile to India.

The journalist Christopher Booker also criticised the BBC for its coverage of India-related matters. He concludes that the BBC's efforts to reinforce stereotypes of South Asians has been directly responsible for damaging the image of India and encouraging racist incidents against Indians, such as the Leipzig University internship controversy.[51]

Writing for the 2008 edition of the peer-reviewedHistorical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Alasdair Pinkerton analysed the coverage of India by the BBC from India's 1947 independence from British rule to 2008. Pinkerton observed a tumultuous history involving allegations of anti-India bias in the BBC's reportage, particularly during the Cold War, and concluded that the BBC's coverage of South Asian geopolitics and economics showed a pervasive and hostile anti-India bias because of the BBC's alleged imperialistand neocolonialist stance.[52]

In 2008, the BBC was criticised for referring to the men who carried out the November 2008 Mumbai attacks as "gunmen", rather than "terrorists," used to describe the attacks in UK.[53][54][55] That follows a steady stream of complaints from India that the BBC has an Indophobic bias that stems from a culturally-ingrained racism against Indians arising from the British Raj.[citation needed] Rediff reporter Arindam Banerji has chronicled what he argues are numerous cases of Indophobic bias from the BBC regarding reportage, selection bias, misrepresentation and fabrications.[citation needed][disputed  discuss] In protest against the use of the word "gunmen" by the BBC, the journalist Mobashar Jawed "M.J." Akbarrefused to take part in an interview after the Mumbai attacks[56] and criticised the BBC's reportage of the incident.[57] The British parliamentarian Stephen Pound has supported the claims by referring to the BBC's whitewashing of the terror attacks as "the worst sort of mealy mouthed posturing. It is desperation to avoid causing offence which ultimately causes more offence to everyone".[58]

Indian ArmyEdit

The BBC has also been criticised for covering conflicts in South Asia with an anti-India bias. For instance, it made false allegations that the Indian Army stormed a sacred Muslim shrine, the tomb of Hazrat Sheikh Noor-u-din Noorani in Charari Sharief and retracted the claim only after strong criticism.[59]

Pakistani propaganda against IndiaEdit

A report from the BBC accused India of sponsoring Pakistan's Muttahida Qaumi Movement, a domestic party based from Karachi, to fund anti-Pakistani activities. However, the only source mentioned in the report was an "authoritative Pakistani source", rather than independent investigation.[60] The flawed reporting was severely criticised by India and other prominent journalists like Barkha Dutt.[61] The report was extensively circulated in Pakistani domestic media to fuel propaganda and conspiracy theories.[62]

Anti-Hindu bias in UKEdit

Hindu groups in the United Kingdom have accused the BBC of anti-Hindu bigotry and whitewashing Islamist hate groups that demonise the British Indian minority.[63]

In 2005, the Vivekananda Centre London and the Hindu Council(UK) reported an institutional anti-Hindu bias and stated, "Anything that may show Hinduism in a poor light is immediately picked up by the BBC programme makers, while anything that may show Hinduism in a glorious light remains ignored by the BBC".[64]

In March 2012, the BBC referred to the Hindu festival of Holi as a "filthy festival". The Webster New World Dictionary defines "filthy" as "full of filth, disgustingly foul; grossly obscene; morally vicious or corrupt". The BBC apologised for the offence caused.[65] In December 2019, BBC published a story that claimed that "ghost studies" were being taught at the Banaras Hindu University. The British Hindu Press Association subsequently pointed out that Bhoot Vidya is a Sanskrit word for psychotherapy, not "ghost Studies", and added that this was a "deliberate attempt to mock and denigrate" Hinduism.[66]

Anti-Sikh biasEdit

In 2009, the BBC Asian Network angered Sikhs for a show in which Muslim presenter Adil Rayexpressed that Sikhs should not always carry their kirpan, a ceremonial dagger and key item of their faith. The BBC rejected the charge but deleted the show from its website.[27]
