The controversy over BBC’s documentary India: The Modi Question has intensified in Mumbai. Despite restrictions on screenings laid down by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) administration, the Progressive Students’ Forum—a students’ collective—has announced the screening at 7 pm on Saturday. The TISS administration on Friday issued an advisory, asking students not to show the BBC programme in defiance of the institute’s warning. Some student bodies protested on campus on Friday regarding the matter.
