India cannot allow pernicious information warfare products to freely proliferate across its society and thus risk manipulating the perceptions of targeted elements within for the Hybrid War end of provoking communal violence, ergo its decision to block the BBC’s “documentary” within its borders.
I see what you're trying to say, but I'm not sure that I agree. I get that the BBC and British security apparatus is deliberately trying to destabilize India, as you stated. However, your censorship rationale, that "India cannot allow pernicious information warfare products to freely proliferate across its society and thus risk manipulating the perceptions of targeted elements within," is the same excuse that the US security state uses for targeting facts that it does not like. Allowing any state to decide what can and cannot be said on Twitter seems like a prescription for abuse. In the USA, they started with the hated Alex Jones, but quickly moved to censor anything they found even vaguely threatening. Why would agents of the Indian deep state be any more restrained and responsible? The power to censor is an addictive drug, and India spooks will soon get hooked on it just as the FBI and CIA did.
