The Modi government is considering asking YouTube to take down the trailer of a documentary on lynchings by cow vigilantes, even as it struggles to find a way to block the movie altogether.
Lynch Nation is a 42-minute documentary that delves into lynchings, primarily targeting Muslims and Dalits, witnessed in the first term of the Modi government.
Its trailer was released on YouTube last September, and, three months later, the documentary was uploaded on the US-based video-sharing platform Vimeo. However, this file is password-protected and one requires a link from the film-makers to view it.
