Indian Disinformation Campaign: Suggestions and Recommendations for Pakistan

Abstract

Indian Disinformation Campaigns against Pakistan are on the rise, targeting Pakistan’s internal stability and international stature. India exploits digital technologies, including social media and fake online media campaigns, to amplify false narratives to create polarisation and cause internal instability. This study examines Indian disinformation tactics against Pakistan to fuel anti-Pakistan sentiments among the masses and undermine Pakistan's global image. It also highlights the international impact of negative portrayals and media manipulation. This paper applies to the conceptual framework of the propaganda model of media control. This study provides a way forward for policymakers to counter Indian propaganda. Pakistan aims to focus on public awareness through media literacy and enhance international cooperation.
