Huh. Well, this is a moment of unhappy learning. I hadn't known that Indian law permitted film-banning. Most democracies have fairly strong laws protecting freedom of speech.

I haven't heard of either of these documentaries - looking forward to checking them out.

It's been a while since I've been to India, but they do have quite a few media censorship rule in particular with Kashmir related subjects. I remember picking up a Time magazine that had an article on Kashmir displaying the current boundries in Jammu/Kashmir occupied by Pakistan, India, and China and on the side was an ink stamp saying that this map was incorrect.
