BBC’s Dangerous Game: Provoking India’s Gen Z to Destabilise a Sovereign Democracy

[Devadwal]

The latest hit piece by BBC News , “Gen Z rising? Why young Indians aren’t taking to the streets,” is a propaganda piece that blatantly attempts to provoke India’s Gen Z into chaos and riots. It can be seen as meddling in the affairs of a sovereign democracy like India.

1) The article romanticises youth uprisings in Nepal, Bangladesh, Madagascar, and Indonesia, painting them as heroic “fast-moving, decentralised” revolutions against corruption and inequality. They gush about how Nepalese protesters toppled a government in 48 hours and Bangladeshi youth brought regime change.

2) The article laments India’s Gen Z not taking to the streets by referring to “fragmentation” along caste, regional, and linguistic lines, with no single force uniting them.

India’s diversity is its strength and makes the democracy vibrant yet the BBC perceives it as a “barrier” to a unified “revolution.”

This is classic BBC playbook, amplifying dissent to de-legitimise India’s elected government and encourage defiance, urging protests, they’re amplifying calls for unrest.

Neutral news or interference disguised as a concern?

Why India’s Gen Z is not taking to the streets

India’s Gen Z is restless and connected, but fragmented and unlikely to unite nationally.

India's Gen Z? That was 12–15 years ago. We are in the Gen C era now.

Why only india? Why not their friends and countries like Pakistan, afg, Sudan etc where democracy may do wonders .seems some one on the behalf of cong is getting impatient.

Lol.... Revolution for what?.. military rule.. rahul gandhi corrupt judiciary .. corrupt babus
Whatever freedoms we have now as a junta.. BBC wants to take that as well.

India need a regime change.

Chaiwala Modi is a rogue extremist who should be removed from power.

Indians have lost their ability to lecture others on a ton of topics after opening up to Taliban.

BBC has always been anti-India and anti-Hindu, with leftist propaganda trying to destabilize India and discredit its civilization. BBC has long been the voice of neo-colonialism with Marxist sympathies

 

[globetrotter]

No doubt BBC is anti India and they are trying one more Partition of India. Rahul Gandhi few days ago appealed Gen Z to make agitation and protest against BJP government, but nobody come up

Now India alliance activists are doing shameful thing in BJP ruled states. Molestation of 2 Australian players in Indore is an example

We made a start by clipping Narendra's wings and denying him a majority in 2024.

In 2029, let's send him back to the Ghaas Phoos abode where he belongs.

India needs to be saved! We are here to help!

India needs to be saved! We are here to help!

No thanks. Not a supporter of Modi and BJP but no one has right to topple a elected government in india apart from Indian.

Maybe look a the own nation where no PM completed his tenure as an PM.

 

[Varun]

By the way, if the BBC/CNN wrote a positive article on them, the Sanghi lot will be th first ones to say: "Look! Look! The white man is respecting me. IT cell, please publish this everywhere".

Morons.

BJP - 240
Congress -99

Congress need fresh leadership like Sachin pilot and leaders who talk about real things instead criticized government for everything.

Criticized removel of article 370, CAA, Ram temple etc cost Congress a lot. These are changed love by majority of Indian regardless of politics.

BBC seems to be unhappy that youth in India are not rioting and trying to topple their government.

Remembered late atal Bihari Vajpayee famous Words - Governments will come and go, parties will be formed and destroyed, but this country must remain, its democracy must remain immortal!!!

India above any politics.

They're one news organization in an island country on the corner of the planet.

You opened a thread about India, right? So obviously I am going to talk about India.

 

[Hitman]

India needs to be saved! We are here to help!

No thanks! The world has been how much you have been successful in saving your own country. By the way, when do you think you'll be able to elect a Government of your choice in Pakistan?

Oh! I almost forgot, it's Pakistan we are speaking about where no PM till date has completed his/her tenure of 5 years.​

 

[Suleiman]

Indianos crying about Pak yet again in a thread dedicated to India #rentfree

 

[Hitman]

When you poke your ugly big nose in our matters, it's obviously your country we have to target, LMAO.

It's a really poorly written lazy article with no proper research. There's no denying Indian youth are frustrated and disconnected but so unfortunately are youth around the world today. If Indian youth have occasionally exploded in rage, so have youth in many countries - France, England, the US etc.

What prevents the rage from boiling over in India and the above-mentioned countries vs. countries like Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka is the safety valve of a long established democracy and institutions that still work to the extent that people have some faith in them.

One the themes I remember from my early days of the internet, circa mid 2000s, was BBC writing hit pieces on Pakistan, and Indians telling Pakistanis to the effect of that BBC was very credible and that we would be foolish or in denial to not believe them. That went on for quite many years. How times have changed. I think what they really should have said was, media is only credible so long as they do not criticize India or say anything negative about India.

But Pakistan after supporting Taliban and every terrorists can lecture the whole world on how India is killing Muslims while it stones and eradicates minorities from all countries....just few years back you celebrated the return of Taliban...

You may have been speaking about other people, I never celebrated the Taliban or supported them. Feel free to go through my post history going back almost 20 years. The only inconsistent hypocrites are you guys who used to lecture on and on about Taliban, and now here we are.

If pak can be friends with China who makes Muslims as slaves and gets work done, why cant india be friends with opposite end?.is it not about enemy of enemy is friend policy? Every enemy of india is Pakistan friend and viceversa.what's wrong in it?


Instead of deviation, create another thread or use the suitable one

From the article:

“The fear of being branded "anti-national," deters even the most aware and connected young people from taking to the streets, says Dhairya Choudhary, a 23-year-old political science graduate. In India, that label is often deployed by some politicians and television anchors to discredit dissent.”

It certainly strikes me that the private media in India has become incredibly nationalistic in the last 10 to 15 years. During the conflict between India and Pakistan earlier this year, the distinction between internet trolls and mainstream media became blurred in India.

You see the trend of nationalistic conformity in other more subtle ways. For example, prominent Indian cricket commentators who once might have offered independent and critical perspectives, are now just extensions of the BCCI and its worldview.

In the age of nationalist pieties, the space for dissent does seem to have narrowed.
