Why is a math teacher spreading such dangerous propaganda with potential to hurt millions of Indians? All scientifically sound studies have rejected any causal link between Covid vaccines used in India & heart attacks.

Hey Dhruv Rathee look we also received a fabulous offer to make content that we rejected. Pls comment here 😁 These coordinated childish attempts to target us because we fact checked their utter lies show how manipulative and evil creator "economy" has become. The evil part here is they are manipulating their own viewers, not ours.

Every position in Chinese govt is hand picked bv the Communist Party. So can they go against the central leadership in decision making like an Iindian CM can? The answer is no. Then how is there decentralization? To claim China is more democratic is not a joke we were ready for in 2026.

Influencers openly lie about publicly available information, repeatedly, multiple times in a single reel, year after year is where we are today.

In typical "award winning journalism" style, The Caravan created lots of insinuations and doubt but refrained from making unsubstantiated libelous allegations. In typical viral instagrammer style, Mukesh Mohan decided to spout lie after sensational lie. Now when the real victim has taken legal recourse, Mukesh is claiming victimhood. Peak instagram!

Fake currency was a serious issue and it is always a serious issue for any nation as it can strike at the very foundations of faith in the financial system. However some things have changed since demonetization. Various forensic reports have suggested the pre demonetisation fakes were "functionally" fake whereas fakes now are "visually" fake and substantially caught by counting machines. (To be fair counting machines have upgraded too). There is no news of Pakistan being able to copy our new notes "functionally". Your political opinion can vary, but the fact is even Manmohan Singh government took fake currency notes very seriously. They called it terrorism! We are presenting some of UPA actions against fake notes (that arguably failed) so you can decide if the issue was small or big and not let some random influencer decide it for you.

India has made substantial progress in renewable energy in recent years. Total renewable capacity has surged from 76 GW in 2014 to over 250 GW today with solar recording massive 50 times increase. 30 lakh homes have installed subsidised solar plants in last two years with 70 lakh more in the pipeline. 23 lakh solar pumps have been installed too. India now ranks 4th globally in total installed renewable energy capacity, 4th in wind power, and 3rd in solar power. Non-fossil fuel sources now exceed 50% of India's total installed power capacity, achieving the 2030 Paris Agreement target 5 years early. This is not to say India doesn't face massive environmental challenges. But how does gaslighting help?

Fake currency detected (as a measure of fake currency in circulation) has fallen drastically after demonetisation. The fall is so drastic that influencers have to make extra efforts to hide it from the people. Even Khanani would be proud of their guile.

The status of education as a Concurrent List subject (Entry 25, List III) is frequently cited by economists and policymakers as one of the primary structural "speed bumps" to reaching the 6% of GDP budget target as set by NEP. However nothing stops an educator from not feeding misinformation to their millions of student followers.

The 1998 heat wave was the deadliest in India's history . Although caused by the strongest El Nino effect observed in recent history, many Indians blames the 1998 Pokhran nuclear tests critical for national security.

As every election is exclusively contested in media but not in courts, some influencers are misleading Indians to justify this apparent inconsistency. Immunity from vindictive prosecution is enjoyed by all top govt officials. Election commission & Supreme court make the very top of that pyramid. But it is pure deception to say that personal immunity prevents us from challenging elections as permitted in our constitution. Dhruv Rathee gives an impressive example of sophistry, the art of using false arguments to deceive listeners.

From trolls to award winning journalists, when everyone spreads the same lies in coordination, it raises questions about which fatherland is behind it...

Most anti India fake news either generates in India before going global or is written by Indians for foreign publications. Hence it is important to call it out in India.

Using incomplete information to formulate an argument is called 'Fallacy of Excluded Evidence or Slanting'. Dhruv Rathee presents an excellent example of it while describing the Indian currency controversy surrounding the British firm De La Rue.

Surprised to see so few even know about this! India is moving to Time-of-Day (ToD) electricity tariffs Power will likely be cheaper in the afternoon (lots of solar!) And costlier in evening peak hours The push comes from Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, but rollout depends on states—so timing may vary. Big users go first, homes follow over the next few years. Translation: run your washing machine, or charging in the daytime and save money while using greener power And no, don't believe foreign media. This has nothing to do with the current energy crisis!
