Spice, Lies and a Toxic Agenda: Unmasking the ABC's India Documentary

News 18  

A 46-minute documentary, ‘Spies, secrets and threats: How the Modi regime targets people overseas’, broadcasted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and featuring the infamous Australian journalist Avani Dias, declared its extreme antagonism towards the Hindu-centric Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Avani Dias seems to have blinded herself and the ABC viewers to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s service activities through over 120,000 projects in areas ranging from education and healthcare to socio-economic empowerment. Dias argued that minorities lack sufficient opportunities under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, a claim seemingly supported by the ABC editorial board. The ‘Seekho aur Kama’ initiative, in place since 2013-14, focuses on skill development for minorities, equipping young people with modern and traditional skills tailored to market demands.
