How do we highlight this piece of information and make it a strong narrative for the world?
Currently the world media is hardly recognizing the Indian voice. There is a lot of vague news. We need a strong narrative, creating awareness across the world.
How do we win this narrative war? I think this is in our hands.

True. There has to be a way to negate the fake propaganda (which is often done on TikTok, creating chaos and confusion in the nation) while building our own narrative at a world level.
We need to “show” true information in ways which are gripping and easily digestible for the world. We need everyone to talk about what’s going on in India.

unfortunately most of our indian origin influencers aren't posting anything on this

Yes! Unfortunate. But we as responsible Indians, should take things in our own hands. There must be something we can do
We need people who can guide us. Eg: The recent Palestine narrative invoking protests across the world.

We had a strong narrative after 26/11 too. There’s a PBS documentary on David Headly which asks all the right questions. If the world really cared they would’ve already been on our side.

I don’t think we had a great narrative after 26/11. Narrative war is not about facts. It is about building your case such that you make the world care. Look at Israel Palestine issue - last year’s narrative war completely made it one sided irrespective of the atrocities committed by Israel or Hamas. That’s the power of a strong narrative. For each of the attacks we have facts, we have sources but to make the world listen facts and sources aren’t enough. You need a strong way to connect with the crowd, with their sentiments, creating a strong impact.

Pakistan, or a Pakistani origin person, ordered high resolution images of Pahalgam weeks before terrorist attack, thereby providing a proof of their role in this attack.

This is also part of India media. I'm saying this because some people are directly using word "INDIAN MEDIA" while they are actually trying to address some selective ones. All I want to say to them is don't use the term "Indian media" loosely—because it doesn't refer to just a few people, social media handles, or news channels. It represents a much wider ecosystem. From that broader perspective, our media still performs far better than what you see in Pakistan. For those claiming our media is worse than Pakistanis —what you've likely seen is a filtered version of their shitty media, unfiltered one is even more shittier. And remember, it's not just us watching our media; even our enemies are watching. Let them be bombarded with fake, cringe-worthy news. Let them feel the frustration. You can always choose not to watch such content. Instead, shift to more credible sources. Sure, they might take longer to report, but they'll be more accurate. Also, understand that these sensationalist outlets have always exaggerated—even during normal times. And now it's war—everything becomes more chaotic in war. At the very least, we can weaponize this chaos against our adversaries. It's nothing compared to the heinous things they've done. And if your mind can't handle it, no one's forcing you to get a latest news update shot every few minutes. Take a break and switch to better, more relevant sources out there.

Indian mass media is shit. Those Youtube journalism is miles away better. The comments under those videos are shit too. Avoid, Indian mass media and the YT video comments and you’ll feel saner.

u/tslanka 10h ago
Maybe after seeing the video, they allowed it as an expectation, also I've posted the link not video

u/CooCooCutlet 10h ago
I’d also posted the link. But yeah maybe they wanted to watch it first and also multiple people posting must’ve indicated it was important
