Paywall. The first page, which is the only page I can access, says this is regarding an event dated 29 August 1970. First, that's fifty years ago so do you have something newer? Second, this seems to be about the 1975-1977 period when Indira Gandhi expelled all foreign journalists and jailed more than 250 Indian journalists [1] and politicians from the opposition and suspended elections by declaring an Emergency. The BBC was expelled in 1970 as well for broadcasting Louis Malle's documentary Phantom India [2] which showed Indian slums and depicting India in a bad light internationally. They were later invited back in 1972. Since the same allegations are levelled today at movies like Slumdog Millionaire, all this proves is that a) we still have slums in India, and b) we are still sensitive to criticism.

    Thanks, found it. There was a very entertaining Mario Miranda cartoon in it that I hadn't seen before. I daresay it could have been viewed as a very anti-India cartoon today.
