This needs to be uploaded on Youtube, Facebook and other mediums where the govt will have to work harder to have it removed.
I hope you realize that by "the government" you're referring to the BBC, who DMCA'd it. It is not hard to DMCA, it is easy.
fair point. Plenty of ways to circumvent this, also since there's is nation sponsored DMCA, there'd need to be clever ways to avoid the detection of video upload itself.

Apparently it struck too close to home. Unleashing tax officials on an organization painting a negative picture (well, not, Modi and accoplice paint it, the BBC only presents it) is a failed attempt of masquerading an authoritarian government overstepping their limits of governance. If they were honest and not coward they would simply tell: 'Shouldn't uncover our dirty laundry, get out of here or will get hurt!' They…
Modi is scared of BBC otherwise he should have banned BBC like RT.com in the West.
I don't think so, I don't think it is fear. I have watched BBC for a long time and they were uniformly critical/negative of everything in India. Other than one or two positive series, their news have been uniformly negative and so obviously biased that I've stopped watching them.
Personally, given the amount of negativity that they have thrown around, I'm glad Modi gave them the shock treatment - I think they have earned it and in spades.
And just in case this is seen as a pure BJP persective, Indira Gandhi had also done so long ago and that straightened them out for a while.
