| 🇮🇳 India Launches ‘Team India’ to Counter Global Disinformation War - Think News Daily |
New Delhi, May 17, 2025
Hi everyone! You’ve heard of war on the battlefield — but now, there’s a new kind of war going on in the world: a “Narrative War”. It’s not about guns or bombs — it’s about which country tells its side of the story better, louder, and more convincingly to the world.
Even though there may be no missiles flying right now between India and Pakistan, a big media war has already started. Pakistan, China, and Turkey are spreading fake news and lies against India using global media platforms. And sadly, some Western news outlets like New York Times, CNN, or France24 are also printing such stories — often without any real proof.
What is Narrative Warfare?
Narrative warfare means fighting to control how the world sees a conflict. Who looks like the good guy? Who seems honest? That depends on how well you explain your side.
Pakistan is using a strategy called “First to Lie” — they quickly post fake news, even without proof. By the time the truth comes out, their version has already reached millions.
China and Turkey’s state-run media support these lies, and many Western outlets unknowingly publish them too. That’s why India must speak first, and speak strongly.
Who is in Team India?
PM Modi’s new international delegation includes leaders from various political parties:
- Dr. Shashi Tharoor – leading the team
- Ravi Shankar Prasad
- Sanjay Kumar Jha
- Baijayant Panda
- Kanimozhi
- Supriya Sule
- Asaduddin Owaisi
They will visit top world capitals in Europe and America to explain India’s position clearly and counter fake narratives.
The Problem: Lies Spread Faster Than Truth
Pakistan claimed it shot down Indian Rafale jets and destroyed missile facilities — all without proof. Yet Chinese media like Global Times spread this globally. Turkish outlet TRT World does the same.
Even worse, these platforms are still fully accessible in India. Their websites are live, and people in India share their articles — which only boosts their lies more.
Fake Headlines = Real Damage
Example: France24 published a headline that said “Chinese weapons passed the India test with flying colours.” But the entire article was based on a quote by Pakistan’s foreign minister — with no satellite images, no evidence, no fact-checking.
Most people just read the headline. And that’s the danger — fake headlines shape global opinion fast.
The Bigger Mission — India Must Lead the Story
PM Modi himself visited a military base to show the truth. India must now fight back in the narrative war with facts, not just weapons. And it’s time we consider blocking fake-news platforms that work against Indian interests.
Final Thoughts
India is not just defending its borders — we are now defending our global image. With Shashi Tharoor, Owaisi, and others in Team India, we have a strong voice ready to speak the truth to the world.
Let’s support facts over fake news, and help India win the information war!
