BJP (ruling party) commands over a huge IT Cell and a larger fan base which activates at very slightest triggers. Few years back a popular Muslim actor (Aamir Khan) made a mild comment on increasing radicalism in Indian society and incidents of lynching against Muslims. Within days everything related to him was scorched, the app he models for got millions of 1* rating on Android.

A more recent incident is about an actress showing solidarity with students against violence in JNU, a left leaning university. The next movie ratings were grounded.

Bias of Indian media houses makes Fox feel like champion of truth and journalism.

In a nutshell, nothing to do with Disney, it must be pragmatic decision by Indian subsidiary to play safe.
