> Why should a British funded propaganda machine be even allowed in a foreign country?

Same reason why any other foreign website is allowed in India or why other countries watch Bollywood movies. Globalization is a win-win for everyone. No country in the world is self-sustaining.

every sentence of this is wrong.

There are several foreign channels that are banned in India including Al Jazeera and for very good reasons.

Plus, I’m sure the West doesn’t get Russia Today or CCTV right now. nor India’s DD

Al Jazeera isn't banned. In fact it is a free channel on most cable network providers

Actually DD is also available in US, just like WION (another Indian news channel)

There’s little one can do if some in the country are hell bent on putting their heads in sands like an ostrich. Doesn’t change the truth, unfortunately.

As for Al Jazeera and other channels you mentioned, they can be watched online – unlike the Modi documentary.
