CAA: Are India's claims about minorities in other countries true?

Upon reviewing the provided BBC article on India's Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), it's important to consider the following points:

• Language and Tone: Analyze whether the language used in the article carries any implicit bias or a particular perspective. Look for emotionally charged words or phrases that might sway the reader's opinion.
• Framing of the Issue: Consider how the BBC presents the CAA and its implications. Is the framing balanced, or does it seem to favor one viewpoint over another? Look for any omissions or oversimplifications that might skew the reader's understanding of the issue.
• Selection of Sources: Check whether the article includes a diverse range of perspectives and voices. Are both proponents and critics of the CAA given equal opportunity to present their views? Bias can arise if certain viewpoints are disproportionately represented or if key stakeholders are omitted from the discussion.
• Contextual Information: Assess whether the article provides sufficient background information and context to help readers understand the complexities of the CAA and its socio-political implications. Lack of context can contribute to bias by presenting a distorted or incomplete picture of the issue.
• Fact-Checking: Verify the accuracy of the information presented in the article. Misleading or false claims can contribute to bias by shaping readers' perceptions based on inaccurate information.
• Headline and Subheadings: Evaluate whether the headline and subheadings accurately reflect the content of the article. Biased framing can sometimes be evident in the way a story is presented at a glance.

After examining these aspects of the BBC article, you can form your own assessment of whether or not bias is present. It's important to approach media analysis with a critical eye and to consider multiple sources and perspectives when forming opinions on complex issues like the CAA.

Open Letter To The BBC - Oct 2022

The misinformation that has circulated on social media sites regarding these attacks has portrayed the Hindu community as perpetrators of this violence.  Much of it has been instigated by the actual offenders, Islamists who wish to destabilise the peaceful co-existence of diverse religions, and worse still, increase the incidence of Hinduphobia in our communities.

BBC documentary on PM Modi 'badly researched', doesn't represent UK govt's view: British MP

New Delhi: BBC documentary on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi “is a hatchet job. It was poor journalism, badly researched and casts smears against PM Modi which are completely unjustified,” says UK MP Bob Blackman.

The lawmaker further said the broadcaster (BBC) “does not represent views of the British government.”

Speaking to News18, Blackman said the two episode docu-series also “sought to demonstrate that the Indian judicial system could not be trusted and I am afraid that the judicial system in India is based on the British system, completely separate from politics and completely independent.”

Why Does The BBC Blatantly Display An Anti-India Bias?

BBC's anti-India slant is exposed every time it covers issues like poverty in India or #JammuAndKashmir. This time, BBC's reportage in J&K is being compared to its position in Northern Ireland. It reeks of double standards.

Is this a case of abhorrent perpetuation of Hindu Phobia?

Thank you for getting in touch about our article Coronavirus: What's driving India's 100,000 Covid-19 deaths?

How the British Public funded BBC and British Media failed to report imparially that BOTH Hindus and Muslims were killed during the fatal riots?

Hollow Western media’s incessant anti-India rant while ignoring human rights abuse in Pak, China

Abhimanyu Sharma, who was introduced by the BBC anchor as a Professor at University of Cambridge, was asked about the killing of the Hizbul commander Riyaz Naikoo on a programme dated May 6, 2020.

The BBC anchor while talking about Kashmir referred to it as the “Indian administered Kashmir” and asked Sharma about the killing of the terrorists. The professor who was catapulted as an expert on Kashmir by the BBC did not once refer to Naikoo as a terrorist but warned the BJP government specifically about further alienation of Kashmiri youth and the fallout with Pakistan vis-a-vis the deterioration in relations.

India coronavirus: Why celebrating Covid-19 'success models' is dangerous

UK taxpayer funded #BBC (see below) states "experts say such premature euphoria" without verifying or identifying them.

The same article it seems to have based this "euhoria" by "experts" on hashtag on social media.  Since when have hashtags on social media become "experts"?   Does this not speak volumes about BBC's reporter Vikas Pandey? 

"As India continues to fight the spread of coronavirus, a few 'successful' efforts at containing the infection have been touted as 'models', celebrated and mimicked across the country. But experts say such premature euphoria can be dangerous. The BBC's Vikas Pandey reports." 

..."It trended as a hashtag on social media, the federal government was full of praise and Uttar Pradesh state chief minister Yogi Adityanath was credited for its success."

Coronavirus: Islamophobia concerns after India mosque outbreak

BBC cries out Islamophobia concerns when India acted to protect its 1.3b population from the inhumane actions of one sect within the Islamic community. BBC completely ignores the fact that all other minorities (including the majority of Muslims) in India acted to protect themselves, medical staff, essential workers and others except this sect. 

The thousands of members of this sect, TJ, not only violated the local government directive not to gather more than 50 but then proceeded not to co-operate with medical staff.  It is reported that they harassed female members of the medical staff, defecating opening around the hospital, but even more deadly is the fact that hundreds escaped to various states of India and around the world possibly spreading CoVid-19.  

Did the BBC cunningly want India to not protect and endanger the lives of 1.3b people so that it can then further target India for failing in its duty? 

Coronavirus: Why is India testing so little?

Unlike other countries, India's measures to prevent spread of COVID-19 have applauded by everyone in the world. However, the BBC is persistent to write against India in such a crucial time.
