“The Role of Indian Media in False Flag Operations: The Grave of Truth and the Joy of Lies”

Introduction

An important aspect of state-led false flag operations in India's history is the active cooperation of the media. When politics hatches a conspiracy, the media dramatizes it and perpetuates it in the public mind. According to many analysts, India's once "fourth pillar" has today become a "mouthpiece for propaganda". When the media becomes the face of the state machine instead of seeking the truth, false flag operations become state dramas, and the public becomes mere spectators.

In this article, we will examine how the mainstream media in India has hidden the truth of false flag incidents, magnified lies, and accelerated state benefits by making anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan sentiments a marketing product.

1. Television Channels: Misuse of the Name ‘Nationalism’

Several leading news channels in India—such as Times Now, Republic TV, Zee News, India TV, Aaj Tak, etc.—started a kind of organized campaign immediately after the false flag incident.

As seen during the Pulwama attack, despite no investigation, headlines like “How did Pakistan carry out this attack”, “Shadow of Jaish-e-Mohammed”, “How will Modi take revenge”—created a kind of war hysteria. Several journalists assumed the role of state spokespersons. They flooded public opinion with emotion and anger instead of giving them a chance to calmly analyze the incident.

In such an environment, it becomes almost impossible to question the state’s responsibility or security failures. Any journalist who questions is a ‘traitor’.

2. Portrayal of Muslim Population: Frame of Suspicion and Hostility

In false flag operations, the media creates a well-planned character—“Jihadi Muslim”. When the police arrest a Muslim youth in incidents like the Malegaon or Mecca Masjid blasts, the media overnight turns him into a “terrorist”, publishes his pictures and personal information, and makes his family a target of hatred.

This is not only a violation of journalistic ethics, it is part of a traditional state narrative—where being Muslim means suspicion, and being a Muslim is a sign of “terrorism”.

Later, when the truth is revealed and Muslims are proven innocent, the media remains silent. But that silence is very powerful. Because in that silence, the grave of truth is written.

3. Media’s theatrical production during elections

The frenzy that the media created about the Pulwama attack and later the Balakot ‘strike’ before the 2019 elections was absolutely cinematic. Inside the studio, war graphics, animations, analysts in military uniforms, field reporters roaring—“We want revenge.”

Using these events, the media wants to establish the Modi government as a ‘fearless protector’. Even those who talk about intelligence failures during the attacks, the media then asks them—“So are you taking Pakistan’s side?”

As a result, false flag operations become a kind of joint media-politics stage, where the audience is the public, but their future is written.

4. Censorship of uncomfortable truths

When the names of Hindutva terrorists come up in the Malegaon or Samjhota Express blasts, the same media falls silent. Even when Swami Aseemanand himself admits in court that this attack was planned by them—the media either does not give importance to that statement, or creates doubts.

A small example—except NDTV, no major media outlet has ever labeled Purohit Shrikant Purohit or Pragya Thakur as “terrorists” or “suspects.” But if the accused were Muslims, these same media outlets would have flashed words like “jihadi,” “Pakistan connection” on their screens day and night.

5. “Gaudi Media” vs. Independent Journalism

A much-discussed term in India’s current media system is—“Gaudi Media,” meaning those who sit in the lap of power. The mainstream channels are no longer the face of the people, they have become collaborators in state projects. They focus on how to present the state more ‘smartly’ than on uncovering the truth.

And those who try to tell the truth—like Ravish Kumar, Siddharth Varadarajan, or Arfa Khanum Sherwani—are either threatened or labeled as conspirators against nationalism.

Conclusion

India's false flag operations are not just political conspiracies, they are mass cultural constructions, in which the media plays a central role. The once questioning media has now become propagandists, whose job is not to seek the truth, but to propagate the state narrative.

When the media loses the courage to tell the truth, false flag operations become the plaything of the state. Each explosion, each attack is no longer just a security failure, but a political strategy. In implementing that strategy, the media becomes the most dangerous weapon—spreading silence, confusion, and fear.

Thus, the Indian media not only sets the tone for false flag operations, but also becomes an integral part of their conduct—where the public knows the wrong, believes the wrong, and takes pride in the wrong.
