The BBC does not attack Bharat because it is getting more powerful. It attacks it because it is majority Hindu. Antisemitism and hatred of pagans remains a recurring element in western civilisation. If Bharat was majority Christian or Muslim it would not get the same hate.
When Bharat was poor, it was blamed on the Hindu rate of growth. When there is poverty in Bharat, it is blamed on the Hindu caste system. Even in Pakistan where Dalits are oppressed and are Hindu and Christian, the media blame the Hindu caste system in a 98% Muslim nation.
The reason for this can be explained that for the west, Hindu like the Jew represents some sort of cosmic evil, a tool which can be used to vent frustration. It has no rational basis which is why it manifests in the most bizarre of circumstances.
So Islamic imperialists gained foothold and the British conquered Bharat because of the poverty and deprivation caused by the inegalitarian Hindu caste system. Churchill was convinced because of this Bharat would turn communist.
Yet now the very same Hindu basis of Bharat is blamed for it having toxic masculinity (despite having a long running woman prime minister and now president), capitalist, neo-liberalist, racist and fascist. The west outsources its own guilt onto Hindus and especially Bharat.
The same west is enamoured of China and Gulf States, and before 2022 Russia. it is not just because of resources and reliance of the economies. It is because they are fellow monotheists. Communism emerged from the church. Islam came from Gnosticism as Christianity took shape.
Why unnecessarily alienate Bharat? Because the gulf is cultural and civilisational. While the west is enamoured of classical Greece and Rome this stuff is in museums and ancient writings at a safe distance. With Bharat that pagan past is thriving and so invites the hate.
Despite all this Hindu concepts such as yoga, vegetarian diet and even beleifs in reincarnation and jyotish (astrology) are gaining popularity as the myth of an end times utopia gets discarded. Hence the increasing attacks on Bharat and Hindus.
