Just to keep the record straight, IMO this is a positive thing for India; it represents a win over BBC which has had illusions of the colonial era and thinks it understands and can influence Indian politics.

This is what Biden’s foreign secretary, Ned Price said on this issue : "State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said that he is not familiar with the documentary but is very familiar with the shared values of India and the U.S. Ned Price dubbed “India’s democracy a vibrant one” and even stressed “exceptionally deep ties.” [U.S steers clear of BBC Modi series row; ‘Familiar with shared values, not…’ | Watch - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJqOQilgy8g&ab_channel=HindustanTimes)

This is what Rishi Sunak had to say on this : “…he didn’t agree at all with the characterization of PM Modi in the documentary.” [Rishi Sunak Shuts Down Pak-Origin UK MP In Parliament Over BBC Documentary On PM Modi - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug9wruB63Yo&ab_channel=IndiaToday)
