Meghnad Desai , an Indian-born economist, a member of Britain’s House of Lords and the author of books on Indian cinema and globalization, joked in an interview in New Delhi that the whole thing seemed like a publicity stunt for the new film.

Here is the links.

whose news media outlets are mouthpiece for Republican party of USA.
However I am not quite able to connect the dots yet.
