It has led to multiple cases of lynching, mob violence, defamation and riots, and continues to pose a serious threat to Indian democracy. "India misinformed : the true story", written by the team of Alt News, a fact-checking website that debunks fake information, and edited by Pratik Sinha, Dr. Sumaiya Shaikh and Arjun Sidharth, identifies the purveyors of fabricated news, exposes the propaganda machinery and familiarizes readers with techniques to detect these menacing stories. Was Jawaharlal Nehru anti-Hindu? Was Narendra Modi declared one of the most corrupt prime ministers in the world? Is Sonia Gandhi the fourth richest woman in the world? Did Rahul Gandhi register as a non-Hindu at the Somnath Temple? Do treatments promoted by the Ministry of Ayush have robust scientific evidence for efficacy? With photographs to underline its arguments, "India misinformed: the true story" presents the real picture."-- $c Provided by publisher 546 $a Text in English; foreword in English and Hindi. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Spreading communal discord -- Building brand modi -- Portraying opposition parties as anti-Hindu -- Rahul Gandhi : the favourite for targeted propaganda -- PM Modi and the BJP targeted -- Other targeted politicians -- False historical claims -- Maligning Jawaharlal Nehru -- Mainstream media -- Targeting individuals -- Fake polls, fake lists, fake accounts -- Others -- Science. 650 0 $a Fake news $x Social aspects $z India. 650 0 $a Common fallacies $z India. 650 7 $a Common fallacies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430086 651 7 $a India $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9789353028381 700 1 $a Sinha, Pratik, $e editor. 700 1 $a Shaikh, Sumaiya, $e editor. 700 1 $a Sidharth, Arjun, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=508E73F6CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
