Veteran Filmmaker Anand Patwardhan Accuses YouTube of Censorship

Filmmaker Anand Patwardhan accuses YouTube of censorship after his 1995 National Award-winning documentary "Father, Son and Holy War" was removed for being "too violent." Patwardhan states the film exposes violence instead of promoting it. He highlights the Supreme Court previously ordered its broadcast. The documentary links religious extremism, masculinity, and communal violence. YouTube has restricted his other documentaries. This raises questions about content moderation and digital censorship regarding political and social films.
