It was supposed to be India’s century — a nation of innovation, ideas, and intellect.
Instead, we’ve become a global cautionary tale on how propaganda can rot a democracy from within.
When Nobel Peace prize winner Muhammad Yunus — a man celebrated across continents — accused india of spreading fake news about bangladesh, it wasn’t just a diplomatic jab. It was a mirror held up to a country that once prided itself on truth.
💣 1️⃣ From IT Cell to Global Infamy
What began as a wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital army to “counter narratives” is now a monster with no leash.
The bjp IT cell was designed to influence perception — it ended up infecting reality.
From whatsapp forwards to deepfakes, from hate tweets to doctored videos — India’s global reputation is now collateral damage in its domestic propaganda war.
💣 2️⃣ When a Nobel Laureate Calls You Out
Muhammad Yunus didn’t mince words.
In an interview with Mehdi Hasan, when asked about attacks on Hindus in bangladesh, he called it out bluntly:
“India’s specialty is fake news. They are spreading fake news about this.”
Think about it — a Nobel Peace prize winner accusing the world’s largest democracy of institutionalized disinformation.
That’s not just criticism — it’s global embarrassment.
💣 3️⃣ How Hate Became a National Industry
Once upon a time, india exported yoga, cinema, and software.
Now, it exports outrage.
Every social issue — religion, gender, caste, even sports — has been weaponized for engagement and votes.
And when hate becomes profitable, truth becomes irrelevant.
The IT cell didn’t just distort facts; it reprogrammed minds. Millions now believe lies more passionately than facts.
💣 4️⃣ Diplomacy Dies When Propaganda Lives
No PR campaign can fix what hate has broken.
You can’t sell “Incredible India” to the world while your wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital ecosystem peddles venom 24/7.
From bangladesh to Canada, from the UN to the BBC, India’s credibility has been shredded by its own trolls.
It’s not foreign media defaming us — it’s our own tweets, hashtags, and hate reels.
💣 5️⃣ The Silent Price We’re Paying
This isn’t just about reputation.
It’s about trust — the invisible currency every nation needs.
Investors, allies, and diaspora communities are watching india trade reason for rage.
We are losing not just credibility but the moral high ground that once made us a soft power superpower.
⚔️ FINAL PUNCHLINE
The BJP’s IT cell may have won elections, but it’s losing india its soul.
When propaganda becomes patriotism, truth becomes treason.
And by the time we realize it, we won’t be a wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital superpower — just a country famous for its fakes.
