What is the message you think is being pushed, and by whom?

[123yawaworht456]

- the message being pushed is "India is le bad. sic 'em!"

- it is being pushed by the usual suspects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_influence_on_public_opinio...

- the reason for the push is India's neutral stance on the oh so important outbreak of tribal warfare happening half a world away in Eastern Europe.

there was a whole barrage of negative hit pieces about India at some point in the past two years, right after their public refusal to stop buying Russian oil or something. I assume something similar happened recently.

Not who you are responding to, but Merriam Webster has the definition of "the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person".

A news article is spreading information so it meets that criteria. The article is critical of Modi and his government to the point you could argue it is attempting to injury him (a person), his government (an institution) and his ideology (a cause).

Seems like it is textbook propaganda. Of course, pretty much any political news story would count as propaganda.

Probably media against Modi’s right wing/auth government. I’m generally opposed to the Modi government but Jammu and Kashmir is on the largest infrastructure building spree since independence. Dozens of railway lines and roads are currently being built eg. USBRL, Zojila, the lite metro, massive hydroelectric plants on the Chenab etc.

You read a journalistic story about media suppression and it makes you feel like you read propaganda? That’s a pretty disturbing take.

What makes you feel like this is propaganda?
