Information wars: do bad, incite, watch the tamasha and be happy

"Focus of these Westernoids is to look outward, abuse others and feel happy about their sorry existence!"

"All such fantasies of the West multiplied by a thousand times, are spoken to the World by sold-out media and propagated through Social Media."

"Lectures in fake, anti-Hindu narratives are also a rage in US academic circles. Talk against it and you are a fascist!"

According to Salvatore Babones, Western media (like NYtimes, Washington Post, WSJ, BBC, DW, FT, etc, etc, etc) are not responsible for the intellectual dishonesty of their reporting. It is the fault of Indian intellectuals [or so-called India-subject experts of Indian origin] for giving a biased portrayal. Similarly, Western analysts who rank countries, using bogus surveys, agenda-driven assessments, manipulated data & faulty analysis, etc are not wrong. Rather, they are misled by the anti-India consensus built up by the very-same Indians. 

I can say with 100% conviction that Western media is totally to blame. For example, why does Lancet, a medical journal, want to go deep into fake news and then play Indian politics during COVID? The focus is on something else.

Western media houses are responsible for hiring hypocritical, dishonest and fake news peddlers. Do "smart" Western editors not read or learn what is reported, or happening in their own countries? The US is printing fake money and complaining about global inflation! US Democrats were crying about failing democracy in the US when they sensed a likely defeat. Europe has a critical dependency on cheap Russian gas; they are breaking contracts to take over other countries' gas shipments, and also telling them to morally support Europe and stop buying Russian oil and gas!! Both US and Europe play the religion card. Both have supported the rise of autocracy, the godless hellhole that is China — made money out of it!

"Religious freedom is what we want you to be!" 

"Oh, Christianity is great and we are supporting terrorist regimes in your neighbourhood."

"We liberated you and kept your money, jewels, antiques, religious symbols and lopsided trade."

"Don't think about catching up. We are superior, our needs are greater. So, we pollute and you cut your emissions."

"We have culture and all things great, even if we kill millions in other countries and start useless wars."

Their mess is impacting their own and is hurting other countries. But the focus of these Westernoids is to look outward, abuse others and feel happy about their sorry existence!

What about Salvatore Babones? He has a point. The larger point is that US & Europeans are getting called out so easily and so frequently, that perhaps, they want to deflect the angst. It hurts like The Wire reporting and the Global Hunger Index. 

GHI is interesting. Every year, India is shown near the bottom of the Global Hunger Index and losing ground. How is that possible? India produces a large surplus of food grains every year, that feeds the world & it still prioritises its population for achieving low domestic prices. India provides plentiful, free food rations to the poorest 60% of the population, and has an elaborate system of delivering to every household and each migrant worker; even as higher-ranked countries are struggling for basic foods and the West is seeing growing numbers of hungry people.

All such fantasies of the West multiplied by a thousand times, are spoken to the World by sold-out media and propagated through Social Media. Lectures in fake, anti-Hindu narratives are also a rage in US academic circles. Talk against it and you are a fascist.

“The personality of Modi is an affront to India’s intellectual class. It has brought them to a new fever pitch of anger over the loss of their place in society.”
