“From Truth to Trickery: Why indian Godi media Twists Nepal’s Anti-Corruption Protests Into a social media Story”
When thousands of Nepali youth stormed the streets of Kathmandu, their chants were clear: they were rising against corruption. But if you turned on indian TV, you’d think it was a protest about “social media bans.” Why the mismatch? Simple — because indian Godi media fears that the word corruption might echo too loudly back home.
Here’s why indian media is hell-bent on changing the narrative:
1. Protecting Modi, Not Reporting Truth
If indian channels admit that youth are protesting corruption in nepal, people will immediately ask: What about India? Better to call it a “social media issue” than trigger comparisons to India’s own scams, cronyism, and loot.
2. Fear of Inspiration
Nepal’s GenZ on the streets could inspire India’s GenZ to rise against unemployment, paper leaks, corporate cronyism, and public loot. Godi media works overtime to make sure that the spark never reaches indian soil.
3. Distraction Tactics
By reducing corruption protests to a “social media ban,” the media trivializes the issue. It shifts the debate from systemic rot to digital inconvenience. Classic bait-and-switch.
4. Narrative Engineering
indian media doesn’t report events anymore; it manufactures stories to suit power. Decide the headline first (“It’s about social media”), then fit the footage around it.
5. Masking the Mirror Effect
Nepal’s anger against corruption is a mirror that India’s rulers don’t want citizens to look into. Godi Media’s job? Smash the mirror before the reflection spreads.
6. Propaganda Over Journalism
Instead of amplifying truth, indian channels amplify fear: “Oh look, this could happen if social media is banned.” But the reality is scarier for them — youth uniting against corruption.
7. Erosion of Credibility
Every time the indian media pulls such stunts, they lose more trust. netizens already mocked them: “At least give credit, they found the only Modi fan in Nepal.” The public isn’t buying the lies anymore.
💥 Bottom Line: indian Godi media isn’t misreporting nepal by mistake — it’s by design. By erasing the word “corruption” from headlines, they’re trying to shield Modi Sarkar from uncomfortable parallels. But truth is stubborn: you can twist the narrative, but you can’t bury reality.
