India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, has said he killed Mahatma Gandhi in a new Netflix documentary. The Indian leader said he assassinated the father of the nation because of his “arrogance” and for “disrupting India’s growth”. The controversial documentary Death to 2021 is a follow-up to last year’s Death to 2020, both of which set out to document the events of the year in a humorous light. Although both the Death to 2021 and Death to 2020 universes are rather detailed accounts of the year’s events, their intent is to entertain rather than to inform, meaning explanations are often scant.
The film shows how India was led into chaos after Gandhi was assassinated by Modi and his political party in 1948. The film then goes on to show how Modi dealt with these challenges and ultimately turned India into one of the world’s most powerful countries.
