#BritishOccupiedIreland hashtag trends in India after BBC accused of 'hypocrisy' over Kashmir coverage

People in India have been taking to Twitter to accuse the BBC of "hypocrisy" for referring to Kashmir as "Indian occupied", asking the broadcaster to apply a similar description to the North.

Yesterday, British-Indian film director Shekhar Kapur tweeted a question to the British state broadcaster asking why it didn't describe the North as "British Occupied Ireland".
