Padlocked Grave Story Confirms Yet Again India's Status as the Hub of Fake News

The story of the padlocked grave has gone viral, thanks to the mainstream Indian news media ranging from the Times of India  to NDTV. The story links the image of a padlocked grave to rising necrophilia cases in Pakistan, with the claim that the image is an example of how parents lock their daughters’ graves in Pakistan in order to prevent rape. Alt News, a fact-check site run by Mohammed Zubair and Pratik Sinha, has found that the grave is in fact located in the Indian city of Hyderabad.

Indian news agency ANI Digital tweeted the image of the green padlocked grave with the claim. In its article titled ‘Pakistani parents lock daughters’ graves to avoid rape’, it cited a Daily Times article to report that parents in Pakistan protected their dead daughters against rape by putting padlocks on their graves. None made any attempt to verify it.  


Padlocked Grave Fake News Made Top Google Search Results For Pakistan on April 30, 2023

The media are no longer credible and independent. Instead of going after the Indian media for spreading fake news, the Indian government is cracking down on fact-checkers like Mohammad Zubair. Last year, Zubair was arrested and jailed for months for exposing fake news published in the Indian media. “People in power want to shut me up for exposing their propaganda, their lies and their hate campaigns,” ,said in an interview with the New York Times. “They want to scare other journalists and activists by targeting me.”

Here's a fact check on the padlocked grave location in India, not in Pakistan:

 In 2018, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's right-hand man and home minister Amit Shah told his party's volunteers commonly known as Modi Bhakts: "We can keep making messages go viral, whether they are real or fake, sweet or sour". "Keep making messages go viral. We have already made a WhatsApp group with 32 lakh people in Uttar Pradesh; every morning they are sent a message at 8 am", Shah added, according to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, an Indian Hindi-language daily newspaper.

Indian Fake News Peddlers Rahul Kanwal (L) and Arnab Goswami

Amit Shah's advice has been heeded by not only BJP trolls but also many in the Indian mainstream media, including Times of India, NDTV, India Today and Republic TV.  

After the 2019 aerial battle between Indian Air Force and Pakistan Air Force over Kashmir, India government and media claimed shooting down a Pakistani F-16.  India Today TV anchor Rahul Kanwal invited  Abhijit Aiyar Mitra, an Indian aviation expert, to confirm that the wreckage he was showing as evidence was that of a Pakistani F-16. 

Mr. Mitra embarrassed his host on live TV by debunking the claim and correctly stating that Pakistani F-16s are equipped with Pratt and Whitney engines and what the TV host was calling a Pakistani F-16 engine was made by a different manufacturer. Watch it here:

In a recent airing of 'The Debate' on Republic World TV, host Arnab Goswami invited Indian analyst General G.D. Bakshi and PTI spokesperson Abdul Samad Yaqoob — to represent Pakistan.


Goswami to Yaqoob: "You go and check today ... on the fifth floor of the Serena Hotel, I am telling you, please check, fifth floor of the Serena Hotel in Kabul, how many Pakistani army officers are there?"


Yaqoob: " "What I got to know from my sources [is that] Serena has only two floors. There are no third, fourth or fifth floors." Watch it here:

India with its massive disinformation campaign against Pakistan, as recently revealed by EU Disinfo Lab, appears to be following what a US think tank RAND calls "Firehose of Falsehood" propaganda model. It has over 750 fake media outlets covering 119 countries. There are over 750 domain names, some in the name of dead people and others using stolen identities. Pakistani policymakers charged with countering the Indian propaganda should read the RAND report "Firehose of Falsehoods" for its 5 specific recommendations to the US government to effectively respond to the Russian disinformation campaign. In particular they should heed its key advice: "All other things being equal, messages received in greater volume and from more sources will be more persuasive.......Don't expect to counter Russia's firehose of falsehood with the squirt gun of truth. Instead, put raincoats on those at whom the firehose is aimed"

  1. In its 2022 Annual Report, USCIRF recommended that the U.S. Department of State designate India as a country of particular concern (CPC) for its particularly severe violations of religious freedom. USCIRF also published a 2022 country update on religious freedom conditions in India and a Spotlight Podcast episode on anti-conversion laws and growing intolerance in India.

  5. The Kerala Story's true picture: 3 'radicalised' women, not 32,000


    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kochi/the-kerala-storys-true-picture-3-radicalised-women-not-32000/articleshow/99945899.cms

    KOCHI: Amid the raging controversy over the upcoming film 'The Kerala Story'.


    -----------

    32K Women Missing Claim Made By 'The Kerala Story' Does Not Add Up While a teaser of the film released in November mentions the 32K figure, the trailer released last week makes no mention of it

    https://www.boomlive.in/fact-check/politics/fact-check-viral-the-kerala-story-32000-women-missing-disappeared-isis-sex-slaves-sudipto-sen-21850

    The makers of the movie 'The Kerala Story' have claimed that 32,000 women in Kerala belonging to the Hindu and Christian communities have disappeared and have been trafficked to places such as Syria and Afghanistan to be sold as sex slaves to terrorist outfits such as ISIS over the last ten years. This they claim has happened through 'love-jihad' -a term that describes a conspiracy theory peddled by the Hindu right that alleges an elaborate ploy by Muslim men to lure Hindu women into romantic relationships with the ultimate aim to convert the latter to Islam.

    BOOM found that the makers of 'The Kerala Story' have grossly exaggerated the claim and that there is no data either by the Indian government or international organisations which supports the 32,000 figure. While there have been instances reported (read here, here and here) where law enforcement agencies are probing women from Kerala being duped with promises of jobs or ISIS sympathy, no record reflects a number so large. BOOM found that the reasoning provided by the makers of the film are based on extrapolation and sources from where they are yet to recieve replies, such as Right to Information (RTI) applications. The movie is slated to be released on May 5 as a trailer was recently released for the film, which was followed by a slew of controversies. In a Facebook post, the Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, has lashed out against the film and so has his party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Congress, which is in opposition in the state.

    If the Malayalis knew what the Hindoo scriptures think of the South Indians ! dindooohindoo

     South Indians are the "Sinful creatures" of Earth

     The Mahabharata, Book 12: Santi Parva: Mokshadharma Parva: Section CCVII

     I shall now, O son of Kunti, speak to thee about "the sinful creatures" of the earth. Listen to me. 2 Those men, O king, are "born in the southern region" and are called Andrakas, Guhas, Pulindas,Savaras, Chuchukas, "Madrakas"

     South Indians are the "dirt of every nation"

     The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 45

     The Madrakas are regarded on Earth as the "dirt of every nation". So the Madra woman is called the "dirt of the whole female sex"

     South Indians are "not creatures of God"

     The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 44

     They are "not creatures created by the Creator". Being of such low origin, how can they be conversant with the duties ordained in the scriptures? The Karashakas, the Mahishakas, the "Kalingas", the"Keralas", the Karkotakas, the Virakas, and other peoples of no religion, one should always avoid.’

     South Indians are the "lowest of mankind" till they are "dead and beyond"

     The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 40

     He that hateth us is a Madraka. There is no friendship in the Madraka who is mean in speech and is the "lowest of mankind". The Madraka is always a person of wicked soul, "is always untruthful and crooked". It hath been heard by us that till the moment of death the Madrakas are wicked.

     South Indians are the "dirt of humanity"

     The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 40

     The Madraka is always the "dirt of humanity".

     South Indians are "degraded into Sudras"

     The Mahabharata, Book 13: Anusasana Parva: Anusasanika Parva: Section XXXIII

     The Dravidas, the Kalingas, the Pulandas, the Usinaras, the Kolisarpas, the Mahishakas and other Kshatriyas, have, in consequence of the absence of Brahmanas from among their midst, become degraded into Sudras.

     "Yama and all the Demons", are in South India

     The Mahabharata, Book 13: Anusasana Parva: Section XCVII

    He should make sacrificial offerings in due order; to Yama in the Southern region

     The Mahabharata, Book 13: Anusasana Parva: Section CL

     Unmachu, Pramchu, Swastyatreya of great energy,Dridhavya, Urdhvavahu, Trinasoma, Angiras, and Agastya of great energy, the son of Mitravaruna,--these seven are the Ritwiks of Yama, the king of the dead, and "dwell in the southern quarter".

     The Mahabharata, Book 13: Anusasana Parva: Section CLV

     Burning with the energy of Agastya, the Danavas, abandoning both heaven and earth, fled "towards the southern direction".

    THE HADEETH ON BILAL HABSHI SAYETH

    He is classed amongst those fortunate people who accepted Islam at an early stage. (Sifa-tul-Safwa, vol. 1, p. 227)

    AND ISLAM CAME TO KERALA 1ST,IN 629 CE,DURING THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET - WITH THE Cheraman Juma Mosque

    PROVIDENCE DICTATES THAT,KERALA WILL BE AN ISLAMIC STATE ! THE CATHOLICS CAN FORM THEIR OWN NATION,OR BE WITH THE HINDOOS ! OR THEY COULD STAY,AS THE LEBANON MODEL !

    PAKISTAN STRATEGICIANS HAVE TO PLACE ITS LENS ON KERALA !

    KERALA AS A MALABAR NATION,CAN BE A FIN HUB FOR LANKA ! WITH CHINESE INVESTMENT IN LANKA AND KERALA,IT CAN BE A TRANSHIPMENT RIVAL TO SINGAPORE !

    INDEPENDENT KASHMIR CANNOT TRIGGER AN IMPLOSION IN INDIA ! BUT AN INDEPENDENT KERALA WILL PULL IN TAMIL NADU ! A TRIAD OF TAMIL NADU,KERALA AND LANKA CAN DESTROY ALL INDIAN EXPORTS!

    LOOK AT EXPORTS FROM MUMBAI AND KANDLA ! IF EXPORTS ARE TO FAR EAST - THEY ARE DOOMED ! AN SEZ AT THE BOTTOM TIP OF INDIA WILL SLASH EXPORT COSTS TO FAR EAST !F EXPORTS ARE MADE FROM IMPORTS - THAT IS A DOUBLE DISASTER FOR MUMBAI/KANDLA EXPORTS !

    IF MUMNAI AND KANDLA EXPORTS ARE MADE IN CHAIWALA HINDOOSTHAN - THAT IS A BIGGER DISASTER, AS THE RAW MATERIALS IF IMPORTED AT CAPE COMRIN AND EXPORTED AFTER CONVERSION,WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER,THAN ANYTHING, WHICH NORTH INDIA MAKES !

    EVEN FOR EXPORTS FROM MUMBAI AND KANDLA VIA DUBAI - NO MATTER WHAT IS EXPORTED - IF IT CAN BE MADE FROM IMPORTED MATERIALS AT CAPE COMRIN,THE SHIP ROUTE FROM THE CAPE TO ANY EU OR GCC PORT IS FASTER AND SHORTER THAN FROM NORTH INDIA !

    SINGAPORE HAS HIGH LABOUR COST AND IS NOT A MANUFACTURING EXPORT HUB !THAT GIVES KERALA AND DRAVIDISTAN AN EDGE AS A TRANSHIPMENT HUB ALSO !

    ONCE INDIAN EXPORTS CRASH - INR WILL CRASH AND INDIAN IMPORT COSTS AND DEBT COSTS WILL RISE !

    THE FUTURE OR KERALA IS ISLAM !

    THERE ARE 9 MILLION MUSLIMS IN KERALA ! AND IN 5-6 DISTRICTS,THE MUSLIMS ARE 35 TO 71 % OF THE POPULATION !

    IT IS EASY TO MAKE A STRATEGY !

    TARGET THOSE WITH THE DNA OF BILAL HABSHI ! MALAYALIS HAVE ABYSINNIAN DNA !

    IF THE MONKEYS OF RAMA CAN MAKE A BRIDGE TO LANKA,THE DRAVIDIANS CAN MAKE ARTIFICIAL ISLANDS, WITH THE PLN AND PRC, FOR LOGISTICS AND SEZ !

    THE TIME HAS TO BLOW UP AND DREDGE RAM SETU AND SLICE THROUGH THE PALK STRAITS ! WHAT DOES HINDOO THEOLOGY THINK OF DRAVIDIANS AND LANKANS ? THEY CALL THEM ASURAS !

    SEZ AT THE TIP OF INDIA AND ARTIFICAL ISLANDS,PLN NAVAL BASES, AND A TRIAD OF KERALA,TAMIL NADU AND LANKA WILL START THE DOMINO IMPLOSION OF CHAIWALA'S HIDNOOSTHAN !

    UNLIKE KASHMIR,WHERE PLA AND PAKISTAN CANNOT PLAY TOGETHER - IN THE NEW DRAVIDISTAN AND LANKA REGIONAL BLOCK - PAKISTAN AND PRC CAN BOTH PLAY BALL !

    THE INDIAN VANAR SENA CANNOT HANDLE KASHMIR,AND THE CHINESE BORDER - AND WITH DRAVID-ISTAN - THE VANAR FORCES,WILL HAVE NO STEAM ! AND THERE WILL BE AN OMNISCIENT AND PERPETUAL NAVAL THREAT AS PAKISTANI WARSHIPS WILL DOCK IN THIS REGIONAL BLOCK

    THE NAVAL BLOCKADE OF VIZAG AND MUMBAI WILL BE COMPLETE ! WHAT PNS GHAZI COULD NOT DO IN 1971 !

    JIYE JIYE PAKISTAN !

    FROM K2 TO K3

    KERALA IS THE FUTURE ! KERALA CAN BE THE MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY HUB,FOR PAKISTAN IMPORTS,AT A MUCH CHEAPER COST !

    SIKHS ARE BASICALLY WITH "INDIAN/HINDOO"DNA,AND ARE LANDLOCKED,WITH NO NATURAL WATER !

    KERALA HAS THE SEA,WATER,AGRI,PLANTATIONS,LOCATION,SKILLED LABOUR AND THE MALAYALI IS A SUDROID/DASYUS,AND NOT OF INDIAN DNA !

    THE DNA WILL SPEAK TO THE MALAYALI WITH SOME HELP FROM PAKISTAN AND PRC.

    AND DRAVIDISTAN HAS THORIUM !

  9. THE BANIA CHAIWALA SEES THE THREAT OF KERALA

    KERALA IS THRIVING UNDER KARL MARX AND MAO !

    IT IS ONLY MARX AND MAO,WHO CAN KEEP THE MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS SAFE !

    WHICH IS Y IN THE NON-BJP STATES,CHAIWALA SPREADS LIES ABOUT ISIS/MUSLIMS ETC., LIKE IN KERALA AND THE LIBRARY BURNING IN BIHAR AND IN BJP STATES THERE ARE ONLY "ENCOUNTERS" LIKE IN THE LAND OF YOGI GOBARNATH !

    THAT IS THE CHAIWALA MODEL ! AIM IS TO MAKE MUSLIMS INSECURE IN NON-BJP STATES,DEMONISE MUSLIMS,AND THEN HOLD UP THE BJP STATES AS SAFE ZONES,FOR MUSLIMS !THE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME CREATION !

    MAO IS RULING KERALA - SO THE MALAYALIS MIGHT AS WELL,SECEDE AND BRING IN PLA AND PLN AND PRC AND THE PAKISTAN NAVY

    THE AVERAGE SIKH SEEKS REVENGE FOR BLUE STAR - BUT 500 YEARS OF HIDNOO SLAVERY HAS MADE THEM SUPINE SLAVES ! THE DNA OF BHINDRANWALE IS VERY RARE ! VERY VERY RARE ! THAT LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL DEVOTION IS MAGICAL !

    HOW MANY SIKHS SUPPORT AMRITPAL SINGH ? THEY ARE BASICALLY WEASELS, AND THE CREATION OF KHALISTAN IN THE HEART OF INDIA,WITH THE WATER FLOWING INTO THE STATE - WILL MAKE IT DEPENDENT,ON THE HINDOO BANIA BRAHMIN SCUM ! THE MASSES OF THE SIKHS WILL NOT SACRIFICE FOR KHALISTAN !

    SO THE RIGHT SECESSION POINT IS DRAVIDISTAN,AND KERALA,AS THE START !

    IF KERALA IS GONE,AND WITH TAMIL NADU,THAT TAKES OUT VIZAG,AND PLACES ANDAMAN UNDER CLOSE
    SURVEILLANCE BY PLN AND ALSO KARWAR.THAT MEANS THAT THE INDIAN NAVY WILL BE,AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARABIAN SEA,OR THE INDIAN OCEAN !

    NAVAL PENS IN LANKA AND DRAVIDISTAN WILL MEANS THAT EVEN PLN DIESEL SUBS CAN CHOKE OFF THE INDIAN PORTS AND INDIAN NAVY !

    TIME TO BRING XI JINGPING TO MAO LAND OF KERALA !

    COMMUNISM AND ISLAM ARE NATURAL ALLIES ! SEE THE BLOSSOMING LOVE OF PRC WITH SAUDIA ! AND THE LONG LASTING TIES WITH PERSIA AND PAKISTAN !

    MARXISM IS NO CREATOR GOD OR GOD OF SPINOZA, AND ISLAM HAS A CREATOR GOD ! SO THERE IS ONLY 1 COMPROMISE, TO BE MADE. WHICH IS Y MARXISM IS POTENTIALLY HALF WAY TO ISLAM

  10. Impact Of Fake News On Pakistan – OpEd

    https://www.eurasiareview.com/10012023-impact-of-fake-news-on-pakistan-oped/

    By Muhammad Usman Ghani


    Pakistan, like the rest of the world, is facing a major threat from fake news. Access to news, political division, manipulation of social media conversations, trust in the news media, health information, and hate speech are all things that fake news has caused or spread.

    According to a report by Media Matters for Democracy (MMfD), from 2015 to 2020, the number of Pakistani broadband Internet users went from 17 million to 83 million, which is almost a fourfold increase. The number of mobile broadband users grew the most. Despite a considerable digital divide—Internet penetration is less than 44% of the population—the availability of 3G and 4G mobile Internet has also led to a small but consistent growth in social media use. From 2013 on, political debates on the two biggest social media sites, Facebook and Twitter, became more popular in Pakistan. This followed a trend that was almost identical to the one seen in the United States. MMfD published that nine out of ten Pakistanis currently see disinformation as an issue, and seventy percent of the population thinks Facebook’s platform is utilized most often to propagate misinformation in the nation.

    Fake news messages have significantly impacted the public’s opinion of Pakistan’s anti-polio vaccination campaign. In order to discourage parents from vaccinating their children, these misinformation tactics draw on existing vaccine scepticism and common religious or xenophobic stereotypes. In 2019, a fake video about how vaccinations affect children caused hundreds of thousands of Facebook users to interact with false anti-vaccine information. This may have been part of a chain of events that led to the suspension of the country’s anti-polio vaccination campaign. Similarly, press reports and public surveys revealed that COVID-19 misinformation campaigns caused many to believe the coronavirus was a foreign scheme, an overblown danger, or a fake. Such ideas seem to have directly affected people’s attitude about COVID-19 precautions, as seen by the public’s irresponsible behavior before the second coronavirus outbreak in Pakistan. The COVID-19 deception also caused some to avoid medical care and commit violent crimes against health personnel. People were getting the wrong idea from fake messages and conspiracy theories that doctors were working together to make more people die from the coronavirus.

    “DisInfo Lab,” a non-governmental organization based in the EU, created a matrix of the Indian misinformation campaign in 2019 and 2020. This campaign relied heavily on fake news sources in social media and mainstream media to lobby international and civil society against Pakistan. Since 2005, the Indian news agency Asian News International (ANI) and the Delhi-based Shrivastava group have contributed to the creation of 256 anti-Pakistan websites that disseminate false information to 65 countries. Reports say that important parts of the larger syndicate were social organizations and humanitarian groups with ties to the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU). Nearly ten UNHRC-affiliated NGOs have been identified as spreading anti-Pakistan propaganda. During the campaign, Dr. Louis B. Sohn, a Harvard professor of International Humanitarian Law, took part in humanitarian conferences about the Baloch separatist movement in 2011.

    This cyber misinformation effort, which lasted for over a decade, was reportedly signed in placing Pakistan on the “grey list” of the FATF, which carries accusations of funding violent extremism. Since then, Pakistan has worked hard to change the mix of false ideas about it. The current government of Pakistan has put out a detailed report on how India has lied and been dishonest in international affairs. Still, the United Nations Security Council and its important P5 members haven’t done much to deal with or stop the growing threat.

    India slips in World Press Freedom Index, ranks 161 out of 180 countries
    In comparison, Pakistan climbed up seven ranks to reach 150 this year.
    May 03, 2023 10:34 am | Updated May 04, 2023 10:47 am IST - New Delhi

    THE HINDU BUREAU

    India’s ranking in the 2023 World Press Freedom Index has slipped to 161 out of 180 countries, according to the latest report released by global media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF). In comparison, Pakistan has fared better when it comes to media freedom as it was placed at 150, an improvement from last year’s 157th rank. In 2022, India was ranked at 150.

    Sri Lanka also made significant improvement on the index, ranking 135th this year as against 146th in 2022

    Norway, Ireland and Denmark occupied the top three positions in press freedom, while Vietnam, China and North Korea constituted the bottom three.

    Reporters Without Borders (RSF) comes out with a global ranking of press freedom every year. RSF is an international NGO whose self-proclaimed aim is to defend and promote media freedom. Headquartered in Paris, it has consultative status with the United Nations. The objective of the World Press Freedom Index, which it releases every year, “is to compare the level of press freedom enjoyed by journalists and media in 180 countries and territories” in the previous calendar year.

    Also read: Exponential rise in attacks on press freedom: PCI-IWPC

    RSF defines press freedom as “the ability of journalists as individuals and collectives to select, produce, and disseminate news in the public interest independent of political, economic, legal, and social interference and in the absence of threats to their physical and mental safety.”

    Concerns arise
    The Indian Women's Press Corps, the Press Club of India, and the Press Association released a joint statement voicing their concern over the country's dip in the index.

    "The indices of press freedom have worsened in several countries, including India, according to the latest RSF report," the joint statement said.

    "For developing democracies in the Global South where deep pockets of inequities exist, the media's role cannot be understated. Likewise the constraints on press freedom due to hostile working conditions like contractorisation have to also be challenged. Insecure working conditions can never contribute to a free press," it added.

    Congress leader Shashi Tharoor too, commented on the embarrassing development.

    "Time for all of us to hang our heads in shame: India slips in World Press Freedom Index, ranks 161 out of 180 countries," he wrote on Twitter.

  13. When #Manipur was burning #Indian tv focused on turmoil in #Pakistan. It showed those visuals because it could secure them #from #Pakistani media that was actively covering #ImranKhan’s arrest. But Indian media had no cameras on ground In Manipur

    By Sanjaya Baru


    Arresting advocates of Khalistan and of Jihadism without arresting advocates of a Hindu Rashtra is not in India’s national security interests in the long run.

    The national security challenge both within Pakistan and within India is essentially a domestic challenge of rising economic inequality, religious extremism and regional sectarianism. Of course, India has been a victim of cross-border terrorism and Pakistani state agencies are responsible for this. Pakistan too alleges that it is a victim of ‘cross border terrorism’, emanating from both its eastern and western borders. However, the challenge to national security in both countries comes increasingly from domestic sources. It would be no exaggeration to say that internal threats to national security pose a greater challenge in both countries than external threats to security.

    A Pakistani columnist, Huma Yusuf, summed up the challenge to her country in words that could easily find an echo this side of the border.



    “The number of issues around which Pakistanis should be coalescing is staggering: food security, safety, dignity of work, free speech, minority rights, welfare protections, healthcare provisions, climate resilience. Until we can craft a politics that champions for the people rather than against their overlords, our future will be riot, not reform.”

    Why Pakistan became a laggard

    Pakistan’s problems are rooted in its domestic political and economic evolution. It is often forgotten that in the period 1960-1980 Pakistan’s economy grew at annual rate of 6.0% while India’s growth rate was 3.5%. In the 1990s, this was reversed with India growing annually at close to 5.5% and Pakistan slowing down to an annual average growth rate of less than 4.0%. Pakistan also performed better on the foreign trade front than India till 1990. In the 2000s, Pakistan has paid a heavy price on the economic and development fronts thanks to the course its domestic politics took.

    That was not to be.



    The Pakistan middle class began to migrate in large numbers to West Asia and western nations, leaving the country in the hands of traditional feudal elites. It is into this vortex that Imran Khan entered, with the help of the military, seeking to stabilise the country internally. However, as Pakistan scholar Ayesha Siddiqa observed recently, while Imran’s supporters came to “express 70 years of anger” against the traditional elite, “the crowd was also raised by the military to think it has the right to own and drive the State.”

    Taking Siddiqa’s analysis forward in a perceptive analysis of the situation in Pakistan, Praveen Swami adds:

    “The religious right-wing positioned itself as the pole of political resistance to the elitism of the post-colonial state…The religious Right enjoyed influence far in excess of its demonstrated electoral success because of the reluctance of the secular centrist parties to challenge Islamism head-on. Each wanted to recruit Islamism to its side, not seeing it as a threat to democracy.”


    Just as Pakistan has experienced a massive out-migration of its educated middle class, along with elements of the elite and working classes, India too has experienced what I have termed as the ‘secession of the successful’ with both the Indian middle class and urban rich migrating overseas. Adding to the out-migration of working class talent (West Asia), and the educated middle (English-speaking countries) we now have the growing out-migration of business and what are called High Net worth Individuals or HNIs.

  14. Pakistani student uses AI to combat propaganda on social media

    https://mmnews.tv/pakistani-student-uses-ai-to-combat-propaganda-on-social-media/


    Muhammad Umar, A Pakistani student at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), has made a significant contribution in detecting propaganda on social media platforms, especially in cases where there is a mixture of low and high-resource languages.

    Umar, who is from Pakistan and speaks Urdu as his first language, is one of many people who are contributing to the large amounts of research and time being spent on languages other than English for preservation, education, and language modelling.

    Umar, who holds a Master of Science in natural language processing (NLP), is aware of the influence that language has on public conversation and the way that opinions are formed.

    “Propaganda is a pervasive tool used to manipulate public opinion, and it is a growing concern in the digital age, especially in bilingual communities where little to no work has been done to detect it. Most propaganda detection work has been done on high-resource languages, such as English, leaving low-resource languages largely unexplored,” said Umar, who is part of the university’s first cohort of NLP graduates.

    Umar noted that code-switching, which involves mixing multiple languages in the same text, is common in low-resource language communities and can make propaganda detection more challenging.

    “In linguistics, code-switching refers to the practice of alternating between two or more languages or language varieties in a single conversation or text. In the context of my thesis, code-switched social media text specifically refers to social media text that uses a mixture of different languages, including English and Roman Urdu.”

    Despite graduating, Umar is continuing his research and hopes to submit a paper related to detecting propaganda techniques in code-switched text at the 2023 Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) conference, one of the primary high impact NLP and artificial intelligence conferences for NLP research.

  15. Meta’s India team delayed action against Army-led misinformation operation in Kashmir: Washington Post - The Hindu



    https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/metas-india-team-delayed-action-against-army-led-misinfo-op-in-kashmir-us-news-report/article67352470.ece

    Facebook parent Meta’s Indian team delayed action against an organised propaganda and misinformation operation led by the Indian Army’s Chinar Corps in Jammu and Kashmir for a year, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing former employees at the company. According to the report, Army officials met representatives of Twitter and Facebook and defended the operation as a counter against Pakistani misinformation networks.

    The report cited members of Meta’s Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) team for Facebook, whose brief was to flag fake profiles and networks of accounts that artificially amplified messages on the social network around the world. When the CIB flagged the Chinar Corps’s alleged operation, Meta staff in India reportedly “warned against antagonising the government of a sovereign nation over actions in territory it controls,” and expressed concern that local employees “could be imprisoned for treason,” the Post reported.

    Disinformation campaign
    It is unclear what the Chinar Corps’ network was posting, but the report cites “disinformation that put Kashmiri journalists in danger,” adding that many CIB employees at Facebook quit the company after Indian Meta staff stymied any pushback. The operation reportedly targeted Srinagar-based media outlet The Kashmiriyat and its editor Qazi Shibli. The Hindu has reached out to Army representatives for comment.

    “As a global company, we operate in an increasingly complex regulatory environment and are focused on keeping people safe when they use our services and ensuring the safety of our employees in a manner consistent with applicable laws and human rights principles,” Meta said in a statement shared with The Hindu, adding that it prohibited coordinated inauthentic behaviour on its platforms.



    This is not the first time the social media firm has been accused of allowing propaganda networks in India to go unchecked. In 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported that posts by Telangana BJP MLA T. Raja Singh calling for violence against Rohingya immigrants from Myanmar were not taken down, in spite of warnings from Meta staff in the U.S., due to pushback from Ankhi Das, Mr. Thukral’s predecessor.
