I'm out of the loop. Can someone catch me up on what's going on?

Limp dick modi doesn’t like a British documentary about a controversy he was part of in the early 2000s, so he banned it in India. Now a bunch of people are watching it.

Why is IU telling the student not to watch it? That's weird

Because it’s a public university run by the government. And the more nationalistic leaning students might try and start something. The university staff might also be in the same camp idk

Because based on the central Government the university officials are inclined to a particular ideology. Now the central government is currently politically Right wing so anything that's causing them trouble or might caught them trouble will be banned. The vice versa happens when the central government is following any other ideology. In short the university is full of shit show on a daily basis and students are just a tool to satisfy someone else's agenda. (I'm currently in the same university and know people who organized the event).

I dunno either, but we should download this video to see what everyone's talking about.

It's gotta be good if people are openly fighting about it!

Oh it definitely is. I mean, I already knew most of what's in the documentary (his "alleged" role in the Gujarat riots) but for an outsider I think it's a very important documentary to watch
