Support for T-Series[]
In contrast to Pewdiepie and his supporters interpreting the conflict in a “personal versus company” composition, T-Series supporters interpret the conflict in an “India versus world” composition. In particular, it is responding to the growing nationalism of India due to the worsening relationship between India and Pakistan in 2019. India's Internet usage rate has been increasing year by year, and is now the second-largest in the world after China (Japan is sixth). In the “Monthly access ranking to youtube by country” announced at the end of 2018, it is fifth after Japan (Japan is fourth), and the usage rate is increasing rapidly every year (China blocks access to youtube, etc.) The user does not exist).

Bashan Kumar, chairman of T-Series, said in an interview at the end of 2018 that "I am providing music for the Indian people" and "I am striving to realize my father's dream." ing. And in December of the same year, it was reported that the president's huge tax evasion was discovered. In March 2019, the chairman posted a video on his Twitter, “I want you to register T-Series as an Indian citizen”.

PewDiePie's songs “Bitch Lasagna” and “Congratulations” have been made inaccessible from YouTube in India after April 11, after appealing to the Delhi High Court. The verdict is only “defamatory to India” and does not mention any issues with the chairman or T-Series. The court has asked youtube to make it impossible to upload two PewDiePie songs across the streaming service.
T-Series main channel has over 100 million subscribers and is the most-subscribed YouTube channel, making it the first YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers.[Citationneeded]
