The report on Narendra Modi's rise to the most popular global leader comes at a time when a BBC propaganda piece on Prime Minister Modi grabbed global headlines.

On the other hand, the Ministry of External Affairs criticized the series, calling it "propaganda a piece". "Please note that this was not shown in India... We believe this is a propaganda piece to push a certain defamatory narrative. Segregation, lack of objectivity and a persistent colonialist mindset are clearly visible," ANI quoted External Affairs as saying. . said ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi.
"If anything, this film or documentary is a reflection of the agency and individuals who re-commercialize this story. This makes us think about the purpose of this exercise and the agenda behind it. Frankly, we don't want to appreciate such efforts," he added.
