Politics is all about perception, manipulating peoples thought process, create smokescreen to deceive. Similarly, it is very difficult to fight perception which once created by concerted and continuous efforts of decades. I would love to put you in the ditch through concocted stories and wouldn't let you come out of it, as my crown depends on blemishing your image.
It is no coincidence, that the Western governments and countries respectively, focus too much attention on improving their image and jealously guard their reputation. On one hand they are the biggest human rights violators, warmongers, arms suppliers etc. while on the other sermonize world on peaceful co-existence . They have vested interest in creating war hysteria, as manufacturing arms is the major component of their economy. Selling arms and ammunition to the third world countries while preaching ‘Human Rights’ isn’t just diabolical, but a classic case of running with the hare and hunting with hounds. Isn’t it ironic, that Obama got a Nobel Prize for peace while during his reign in 2016, US dropped 26171 bombs in 2016 alone on sovereign nations, that's 72 bombs a day,1 bomb every 20 mins. By the western standards itself, he was the biggest perpetrator of War crimes and should have been prosecuted in International Court of Justice like Slobodan Milosevic, but USA has a reputation of harbinger of democracy, justice and big fat purse to splurge, so all crimes are overlooked.
Funny as it may sound, on illegal Rohingya settlers, our own ‘social activists’ are running to Western countries, who readily oblige, by issuing sermons to India against deporting Rohingyas. The same West that invaded “America” and annihilated natives, while narrative of “Discovery of America” is created, preach us. The issue of illegal settlement of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas is spun into persecution of Muslims. The same people who didn’t shed a tear for Kashmiri Pandits (during ethnic cleansing in Kashmir) throng Apex Court to shelter illegal settlers even though, they are changing demography and are a security threat to the nation.
It is all about the perception, when evangelist freely enter Ganesh procession and distribute conversion material (espousing Hindus worshiping wrong god), anyone objecting to this religious terrorism is branded as communal, while evangelicals play victim. The perception of mistreatment of religious minority by majority meticulously created comes in handy here.
Isn’t it strange that, hordes of pseudo intellectuals, celebrities rushed to cash in and defame Holy place of Hindus (Jammu) due to horrible rape of an innocent girl(as victim was Muslim & accused Hindus) but maintain conspicuous silence when scores of orphans were sexually exploited in an illegal Christian orphanage at the same city. The recent case of multiple rape cases of “Nuns” by “Bishops” also didn’t draw any ire from same group of social warriors. Such is the travesty of money power and controlling media through which fake propaganda is spread.
In our country, the onus to prove innocence lies at the doorsteps of Hindus, and this technique got accentuated ever since BJP usurped power at the center. Even though BJP shrewdly remained indifferent to plight of Hindus like Congress, (however, it provided lip service on certain issues at opportunistic timings )but a mass hysteria is created prophesying, that supposed RW party will undermine secular ethos of India. Suddenly, India(read Hindus) became intolerant, casteist, anti-woman etc. Even Indian Army wasn’t spared. It is smudged or castigated for human rights violation of terrorists.
In the end,wise to say that it is all about creating narratives, fabricating stories, controlling minds, its all about creating perception and unfortunately one side has faired poorly despite being at the receiving end of this malicious propaganda for centuries.
