Christopher Paul and Miriam Matthews in their article, consider that politicians’ model for propaganda can be called ‘the fire hose of falsehood’ because of distinctive features like high numbers of channels and messages; a shameless willingness to propagate partial truths or outright fictions; entertain confusion and overwhelm the audience with rapid, continuous and repetitive propaganda.

The Indian media, subscribed to falsehood, is taking the country to ransom. Modi government has made lying a form of art. People are thus expected to believe as true what is clearly false and also taken at face value mutually contradictory statements. The liberty of the press is core of all civil, political and religious rights; however, Indian media has become complaint to an extent that instead of criticizing BJP and Modi; it is acting as a media cell of the party. While ignoring the ground realities, it is focused on projecting PM Modi as an avatar of a god and savior of the country.

During the past seven years, there have been more than 400 cases of internet shutdowns. Systematic efforts have been undertaken to discipline the media by mounting cases and inquires against journalists, besides using various regulatory agencies to target media houses. Indian government has relentlessly conducted crackdown on freedom of speech, with statistics showing a 165% increase in sedition cases between 2016 and 2019. EU DisInfo Lab exposed India’s 15-year propaganda operation targeting UN & EU to malign Pakistan. "EU Chronicle", a website claiming to deliver “news from European Union,” is another example of an influence campaign run by an Indian organization, Srivastava Group.
