Indian officials are doing everything they can to prove her wrong. "We
can ban the film in India," the country's parliamentary affairs
minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said. "But this is an international
conspiracy to defame India. We will see how the film can be stopped
abroad too." // And so, "millions" of people are ringing up views of
the documentary on YouTube, according to the Times of India. As one
blogger put it after uploading the video to YouTube: "If the
government of India wanted to minimize the viewing of this
documentary," Lauren Weinstein wrote, "they blew it big time."

I didn't upload the video, which I see the BBC has now blocked, but
indeed that's my comment that was on it via G+.
