I am not a fan of Modi and I don’t want him to get re-elected. He is an autocrat and favors a select few. His party is as corrupt as any other party.
But I suspect the timing of this ? Why now, when this happened so long ago. ( before he got elected twice in a row ?)
Also, How many know that Modi was conferred the highest civilian award by Saudi Arabia ! Even UAE and Bahrain gave their highest civilian awards !
A movie takes time to produce? A documentary needs space to find obbjective evidence?
Cumulative impact increases importance? Allying with authoritarian dictators raises new alarm?
Why now might be as simple as there was no high profile director interested in the topic before. Because Modi has been massing more power for himself and BJP, their history has become more interesting for journalists, or “how we ended up here.”
Going by the feedback in this thread, there's nothing new in the documentary. Gulf states are probably just playing diplomacy given the fact that Modi was never convicted by any court.
