Controversy and criticism
In 2008, BBC Hindi was criticised by some Indian outlets for referring to the terrorists who carried out the November 2008 Mumbai attacks as "gunmen".[2] The response to this added to criticism from some Indian commentators suggesting that the BBC may have an Indophobic bias.[3] In March 2015, BBC Hindi was criticised for broadcasting a documentary interviewing one of the rapists in India, despite a ban ordered by the Indian High Court.[4] In 2017, BBC India was banned for a period of five years from covering all national parks and sanctuaries in India.[5]
