== History ==
In December 2004, as a part of expanding their South Asian market, [[The Walt Disney Company]] launched the Indian feeds of [[Disney Channel (Indian TV channel)|Disney Channel]] and [[Toon Disney]]. Both channels broadcast in English, [[Hindi]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], and [[Telugu language|Telugu]].<ref name="disney"/>
Toon Disney initially broadcast in English, Tamil, and Telugu, with a Hindi-language audio track being added on 1 September 2005.<ref name="disney">{{Cite news |title=Disney launches India TV channels |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4104089.stm |last=Bajoria |first=Jayshree |date=17 December 2004 |access-date=6 July 2022 |work=[[BBC]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=After Tamil & Telugu, Toon Disney goes Hindi from 1 September |url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k5/aug/aug244.htm |date=22 August 2005 |access-date=6 July 2022 |work=Indian Television}}</ref> Toon Disney carried the [[Jetix]] block in the country.

In November 2009, Disney XD was launched in India, replacing both Toon Disney and Jetix.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 November 2009 |title=Jetix rebrands to Disney XD in India |url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/jetix-rebrands-to-disney-xd-in-india |access-date=6 July 2022 |website=Indian Television Dot Com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Jetix gets a new name! |url=https://www.adgully.com/jetix-gets-a-new-name-41289.html |date=13 November 2009 |access-date=6 July 2022 |work=Adgully}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.afaqs.com/news/story/25488_Toon-DisneyJetix-to-take-a-new-face-as-Disney-XD|title=Toon Disney/Jetix to take a new face as Disney XD|date=13 November 2009|access-date=28 August 2022|work=Adgully}}</ref> In December 2011, Disney India planned to launch [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and [[Bengali language|Bengali]] language audio tracks for Disney XD in 2012 as a part of its regional expansion within the Indian subcontinent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.campaignindia.in/article/disney-xd-to-launch-bengali-and-marathi-feeds-in-the-new-year/415544|title=Disney XD to launch Bengali and Marathi feeds in the new year|date=28 December 2011|access-date=7 July 2022|website=Campaign India}}</ref>
In February 2013, the Government of Bangladesh banned the broadcast of Disney XD, along with Disney Channel India, in the country, as it was accused of broadcasting in Hindi throughout the day.
