Patwardhan's 'Father, Son and Holy War' Removed from YouTube for Depicting Anti-Muslim Violence

Anand Patwardhan's 1995 National Award-winning documentary "Father, Son and Holy War," examining anti-Muslim violence in India following the Babri Masjid demolition, was removed from YouTube for alleged violent content. Patwardhan condemned this censorship, noting the film received a U/A certificate, two National Awards, and a Supreme Court order for broadcast. He argued it documents rather than glorifies violence. The film remains available on another channel.
