Beware of Fake News & Malicious Propaganda

Pen Mightier Than The Sword!

With the introduction of Internet and the increase in its popularity the pen has become mightier than the sword. In this net age there cannot be a more adequate saying than this popular one.

Yes there are more readers well in millions now if not billions, and news is within easy reach of them. With this widespread COVID 19 pandemic or coronavirus people have more time to visit these sites which they come across frequently in the cyberspace. 

This opportunity is being widely exploited by authors who are political opportunists and those with biased ideological leaning and bigots. False malicious message or propaganda as skillfully crafted half truth is being spread among people using news, articles, videos and blogs. Those with reputation and employed by foreign media, and those with seditious tendencies are most vociferous. 

Half baked celebrities, some media persons and some writers all with ill intents, few overzealous intolerant evangelists all are making a dive for this social opportunity to further their malicious cause. Some are seeking cheap popularity while some are trying to rake in the country's detractors maybe for hire and what not. 

Even Nation's with anti-India agenda are resorting to false news, negative and preconceived opinion pieces, malicious half truths, news distortions in order to to impress International rights communities  and organisations against us and further their ill conceived plans and cause.       

These are turbulent times when we have to be cautious in believing the fake media and the propaganda distributed by the likes mentioned above. Hastily accepting this malady propagated through the Internet and social media sites is giving into dangerous emotions and playing around with negative belief against others. These people are not honest towards and do not care for your well being.

All this is leading to disharmony, religious disturbances and overall weakening of the Nation. United We Stand!

Shouldn't we believe in ourselves, and make the Nation strong by fortifying religious harmony through tolerance and understanding, discouraging the detractors and supporting the Governments chosen by the people. 

The right to oppose and dissent is guaranteed in our constitution - what we call the freedom of speech - but should it favour or promote sedition or create disturbances in civil society?   

Opposition and dissent should not become a tool for prejudice, undue political gains, and self promotion in public life. 

Anyway these very false attributes are going to be revealed one day. You cannot fool the public for long and then it will turn against the detractors en masse.

So please stick to the rules and aesthetics.

Jai Hind!
