> BBC seems to have taken up a role as the anti-Modi network

Could you point to prominent sources making this claim?

> if it was also aimed at China

The BBC created diplomatic chaos between Downing Street and Beijing with their Xinjiang coverage [1][2]. I'm not sure why you think their coverage of Russia or Pakistan has been any less scathing.

> pointing to something Modi-positive they've ever run

See the BBC's coverage of his anti-poverty [3] and climate [4] work.

> the existence of the video itself is the claim

They made a video critical of Modi, herego the entire BBC has an anti-Modi bias? Yet when the BBC puts out content critical of Xi or Putin or Erdogan, it's not comparable?

There was a great post from a VPN provider about how they've honed circumvention tactics in China for years, and that whatever Russia was doing post-Ukraine was just primitive in comparison.

If India really tries to go down the internet censorship rabbit hole, its probably not gonna go well, as they are decades behind more seasoned despotic regimes.
