A Conversation

 Person A: Hey, I've been hearing some concerning things about your recent actions. There are rumors that you've been spreading false narratives and deceiving the society. Can you explain what's going on?


Person B (Cheater): Oh, come on, those are just rumors. You know how people love to talk. I'm just sharing alternative viewpoints and shedding light on hidden truths that the mainstream doesn't want you to know.


Person A: Alternative viewpoints are one thing, but there's a fine line between that and spreading outright false information. I've seen evidence that suggests you've been manipulating facts to fit your narrative. Why would you do that?


Person B: Look, the truth isn't always black and white. Sometimes you have to bend the facts a little to get people to see the bigger picture. The society has been blinded for too long by the established norms. I'm just trying to wake them up and make them question things.


Person A: I understand the importance of questioning things, but intentionally distorting information isn't the way to do it. It erodes trust and leads to confusion. People rely on accurate information to make informed decisions.


Person B: Trust? Come on, trust in institutions and traditional sources of information is naïve at best. They have their own agendas. I'm just offering an alternative perspective. Besides, a little chaos is necessary to break free from the chains of conformity.


Person A: Chaos might provoke change, but it also brings harm. Spreading false narratives doesn't just create chaos; it can cause real harm to individuals and communities. It's a slippery slope that leads to division and mistrust.


Person B: Well, sometimes the ends justify the means. If a few people get hurt in the process, it's collateral damage. Change is messy. Society needs a wake-up call, and I'm here to give it to them.


Person A: But change can be achieved without causing harm. You're exploiting people's vulnerabilities and emotions for your own gain. And if the information you're spreading isn't backed by evidence, you're only contributing to the very chaos you claim to fight against.


Person B: Look, you can't please everyone. Some people will always resist change, and they'll label me a cheater or a deceiver. But history has shown that those who challenge the norms are often misunderstood at first.


Person A: Challenging norms is one thing, but deliberately deceiving people is another. If you truly believe in your cause, present well-researched and factual information. Authentic change comes from enlightenment, not manipulation.


Person B: Maybe you're right, and I've been a bit too aggressive in my methods. But sometimes you have to play the game to get people's attention. Once they start questioning, they'll seek the truth themselves.


Person A: Playing the game with false narratives ultimately damages your credibility and the credibility of the cause you're fighting for. It's never too late to change your approach, build trust, and make a positive impact through honest and informed discourse.

      B ecoming the world’s most populous nation allows India to burnish its credentials as a global economic and political heavyweight. With a population that is much younger than those of China, the US and the EU, there will be renewed interest in India’s potential to be a beacon of liberal values. The west is eager to draw a democratic giant into its orbit. China and India will together account for about half of all global growth this year. But India risks emulating its bigger northern neighbour’s economic ascent under tight political control by a dominant authoritarian party. Hindu nationalism in India is writing an epitaph for the country’s experiment with multi-ethnic secular democracy. Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) has weakened institutions meant to keep the state both transparent and accountable. Information is censored, civil society hounded and protests suppressed. It is absurd that opposition leaders have been targeted to the ...
