> BBC seems to have taken up a role as the anti-Modi network

Could you point to prominent sources making this claim?

> if it was also aimed at China

The BBC created diplomatic chaos between Downing Street and Beijing with their Xinjiang coverage [1]. I'm not sure why you think their coverage of Russia or Pakistan has been any less scathing.

They made a video critical of Modi, herego the entire BBC has an anti-Modi bias? Yet when the BBC puts out content critical of Xi or Putin or Erdogan, it's not comparable?

[3] and [4[ are the same. Even have the same URL.

And you didn't mention any of those other countries I named. Apparently it's too hard to them to write about them, or else "brutal oppression" isn't news to their viewers.

Fixed.

> you didn't mention any of those other countries I named

BBC's exposé on the Uyghurs was a big deal. That you missed it, along with apparently their take on the Ukraine war, should be a nudge to look yourself.
