Modi's government silenced Bollywood censorship — a warning for Hollywood

Indian director Honey Trehan was set for a breakthrough in 2023 when his film Punjab '95 — about a human rights activist killed for investigating mass killings of Sikhs in Punjab — was selected for the Toronto International Film Festival. India's Modi government effectively suppressed the film, illustrating how political authorities can control the film industry. The piece serves as a warning that Hollywood should take note of such censorship tactics.
