I think it's more accurate to say that the BBC is disliked by the newer Hindu nationalist types for not pandering to their world view.

I think it's more accurate to say that the BBC is disliked by lots of people are aren't culturally Marxist.
BBC is fine for left-leaning Anglosphere types, but it's not very broad in terms of the views covered.

When you use the word cultural marxist you're outing yourself as a right-extremist conspiracy theorist:

That's actually not the meaning I was using. It's pretty obvious that BBC is not centrist in content.

"culturally Marxist" sounds like a right-wing way of saying "not Marxist." It makes about as much sense as being "culturally vegetarian."

"Cultural Marxism" is a shibboleth used in far-right white nationalist circles to mean "not racist". It's typically paired with claims that "cultural Marxism" is a "Jewish plot" to cause "white genocide".
If you see anyone use it unironically, run away.

Sorry, but you're not going to be able to tag somebody like me with the alt-right label. I'm none of those things. The point is that the BBC isn't only disliked by Indian nationalists. That's what I was responding to.
And actually, that's not what Marxism is or means at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism
