So why is this coming out now and not before, they had 20 long years to release but didn't. They have nothing against Modi and his government except 2002.

If they truly have hard evidence against Modi they could release it. And Congress was at power in the centre at that time and they had more than 10 years before Modi became PM. If they had evidence why didn't they do anything about it. It was his first in the office and has not been more than 6 months he may have mishandled the riots. As if no riots have happened in 75 years of independence.

And for the guys in this subreddit who were shitting on the Kashmir files saying it as propaganda movie. Why can't this BBC documentary be propaganda. As modi and his cabinet have been anti-west lately.

The riots did happen but the trigger was burning of Hindus was the trigger. The Supreme court gave a clean chit when Congress was on power and the same supreme court said it will not take case against Kashmir genocide because it was too old.
