The Information and Broadcasting Ministry of India issued a ban of the BBC 4 "Storyville" documentary "India's Daughter" to all TV channels before it was released.
The following day, the documentary was blocked from viewing in India on YouTube, following Indian court orders.
On Women's Day, NDTV protested the ban by running this visual for an hour at prime time.
The protest aired from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The channel was applauded by its viewers for its stance against censorship.
The broadcast of "India's Daughter" is one in a string of bans the Indian government has issued in past weeks, including one on the release of "50 Shades Of Grey."
