'Man vs. Wild' slammed for featuring Indian Prime Minister Modi: 'Like inviting Trump to a show on climate change'

The Aug. 12 episode of Man Vs. Wild is not must-watch TV for some. Host Bear Grylls has been touting the episode featuring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeting that people around the world will “get to see the unknown side of” the leader as he “ventures into the Indian wildness to create awareness about animal conservation & environmental change.” He even called it an “honor” to have the politician on the show. However, critics are having a hard time seeing Modi heralded as a great conservationist.
