Publishing a nearly two-decade-old case appears to reflect the anti-India BBC's intention to create the impression that such infections are uniquely associated with present-day India, even though neurocysticercosis is a recognised parasitic disease found across several developing regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The BBC gave ‘protestors being incarcerated’ victimhood spin to the conviction and sentencing of eight Antifa terrorists who ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado in the US’s Texas, and shot a police officer in the neck.

The BBC article’s headline, “Indian billionaires buy foreign companies as growth slows at home”, is quite revealing of the underlying agenda of portraying even lucrative Indian mergers and acquisitions as more of an outcome of domestic failures than strong balance sheets.

The BBC, which often likes to paint itself as a defender of human rights, showcased an unexpected compassion for the men sentencing their own girls to a tragic existence, instead of confronting the horrific practice that is not only accepted but has been part of a tradition for decades.

In the BBC article headlined, “Political turmoil in Indian border state as nine million lose voting rights”, Bhattacharya pushed a border state panic narrative and framed the name deletions as a politically motivated “loss of voting rights” that could “shape state policies”. Staying true to the objective of the propaganda piece, the Kolkata-based ‘independent journalist’ emphasised on the imaginary targeting of Muslims.

BBC Hindi’s latest piece selectively uses the “five-day reserve” statistic to strip away context and manufacture a false narrative of energy insecurity in India.
