Seeing a lot of bot movement and misinformation across platforms regarding various hot zones/areas currently experiencing unrest. I hope some babu is taking notes and trying to atleast get their head around how the things are currently working. Sad to say but GoI has completely neglected this space. Things can still be learnt and monitoring systems/response systems improved.
Indian Political Discussion
- Thread starter Parul
- Start date
The comment above is applicable for internal issues as well. After Sindoor, this can be another learning opportunity to see new methods of IW that various intl. groups/actors are using against one another. I hope someone from IB learns a thing or two.
This has affected the mental health of a friend I know very badly who know is disdainful of being Indian. Just yesterday he went on a huge rant on how nobody respects India because Tik Tok X and Instagram are very racist to Indians and show India being dirty. Honestly I am not on those sites and I really don't care what others think or feel about India or Indians but for the young people on those sites and who have been on those sites for quite some time, perception is everything and I am afraid a large number of young Indians are increasingly getting influenced and affected by such trends.
Nick Fuentes and the Groypers: How Foreign Bots Built America's Anti-Indian Hate Movement
There is a particular moment in every demagogue’s career when rhetoric turns into a project. Not the early period of noisy adolescence, when insult fuswarajyamag.com
The primary rhetorical engine driving anti-Indian sentiment is the “Great Replacement Theory” (GRT) applied to the labour market. The Centre for the Study of Hate and Extremism (CSO) released a report analysing anti-Indian racism on X (formerly Twitter) between July and September 2025. The data is stark: narratives framing Indians as “invaders” and “job thieves” accounted for 69.7% of high-engagement racist posts, generating over 111.8 million views.
Indians were, until recently, often relegated to the background.
They were tolerated as economically useful immigrants. Admired begrudgingly in Silicon Valley and mocked occasionally in the adolescent corners of the internet for accents, tech support clichés, or food jokes. But hatred requires an organising narrative. And for a long time, Indians did not appear to threaten the fantasy architecture of white nationalist America.
Then something changed.
It was not a single moment. It was a slow accumulation of symbolism. Indians were no longer peripheral. They were visible. They were present in boardrooms, running companies that define American life. They were increasingly visible in politics. They were senators’ spouses. They were gubernatorial frontrunners. They were not only participating in American civic life; they were credible contenders for its custodianship.
This is what Fuentes understood.
The far-right does not hate randomly. It hates strategically. And in 2025, strategic hate found a new object: the Indian-American who does not apologise for belonging.
When Fuentes ridicules Indian culture, when he deploys racial slurs with the smugness of a boy convinced the world belongs to him, when he screams “go back to India,” he is not merely indulging racism; he is asserting hierarchy. He is saying: you are here on tolerance. You are provisional. You are conditional. You are guests, and the house is not yours.
He is also saying it louder and more often than anyone with his reach has ever dared to do.
Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University partnered up to investigate Fuentes and published a report, "America Last: How Fuentes’s Coordinated Raids and Foreign Fake-Speech Networks Inflate His Influence"
Executive Summary and BLUF
Nick Fuentes’s surge into national visibility did not originate from a broad or sudden shift in American political sentiment. It emerged from a pattern of online amplification that was unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign in origin. This report examines the structure of that amplification, the signals it produced inside the information environment, and the ways mainstream, legacy institutions interpreted those signals as indicators of emerging relevance. The goal is not to explain Fuentes’s ideology or his existing audience, but to assess how synthetic engagement, real-world events, and media incentives converged to elevate a fringe figure into a central subject of national attention.
- Algorithmic Amplification Far Exceeds Legitimate Reach: Fuentes received dramatically higher early retweet velocity than any comparator, including Elon Musk (the platform’s most-followed user). Within the critical first 30 minutes, Fuentes routinely outperformed
accounts with 10-100× more followers.
- Early Engagement is Dominated by Repeat Actors: In a sample of 20 recent posts, 61% of Fuentes’s first-30-minute retweets came from accounts that retweeted multiple of these 20 posts within that same ultra-short window - behavior highly suggestive of coordination or automation.
- The Amplification Network is Overwhelmingly Anonymous & Ideologically Dedicated: 92% of repeat early-retweeters were fully anonymous (no real name, no real photo, no location, no contact info) and the majority are openly or functionally single-purpose “Groyper” / “America First” accounts whose primary activity is boosting Nick Fuentes and related fringextremist messaging.
- Foreign-Origin Amplification Dominated Fuentes’s Viral Posts: In the months before Charlie Kirk’s death, roughly half of the retweets on Fuentes’s most-viral posts came from foreign accounts, heavily concentrated in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia, and Indonesia.These regions have no organic link to Fuentes’s politics but do match the known geographic footprint of low-cost engagement farms, making the pattern consistent with bot-farm amplification rather than genuine foreign audiences.
- Mainstream Media Reinforcement: Since September 2025, mainstream media coverage increased more than threefold and high-status descriptions of Fuentes increased by 59.6%. Outlets also adopted markedly more polished visual treatments, including studio-grade portraits
controlled lighting, shallow depth of field, and editorial framing that visually positioned Fuentes as a consequential political figure.
- Fuentes Himself is Involved in Coordination: His manipulated reach is not accidental; full show transcripts reveal hundreds of real-time commands to “retweet this” and “retweet me,” establishing raid-style amplification as a core operating method. These directed raids built the
behavioral infrastructure of his account and laid the groundwork for consistent X policy violations by the anonymous and foreign network now amplifying him
One thing not mentioned in the summary is that retweets declined from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia, South Africa, Indonesia. And increased in France, UK, Canada, Other: Western Countries, Other: non-Western Countries. See page 22 of the report.
Saddening. I was not aware that it had reached this stage. However, it is not illogical that this has started to happen. There are sections filled with tropes along with Xenophobia. I had stated a while ago that this can cause issues for the society esp. for those abroad or who frequently browse these apps.
Certain accounts within India or run by Indians that tend to promote certain aspects that are clearly not helpful and act as a source of controversy and rage baiting. People should discern whom to engage. I do not know who this individual is but he is looking for angle to get this post views. Regarding bots and trends, the platform is not yours so all you can do is watch as things unfold.
I have never understood why Indian citizens pay heed to political views from agenda driven NRIs? He is engaging you for views. 1 out of every 4 videos is a slanted narrative. People pick it up and discuss it. RW a/cs then clip it and discuss it further. Plenty of political commentators aligned with the opposition are present within India.
Imagine the ranting if Chinese delegation meets Congress
Because RSS having good grip on current government and they are becoming host to Chinese delegation.
Pretty sure you are aware of the difference in intent for both cases.
Congress has Historically always been meek to accommodating the chinese demands.
Bjp has opposed the chinese.
You know the history, action, geopolitical climate, attitude of both parties, yet you still decided to ignore all the Nuance and decided to comment misleading the scene disguising it as valid criticism in your own mind , you are achieving nothing but deluding your Amriki Dalal self more and more.
I am neither in to RSS or Congress, so i don't know tge intention of both visits. As an outsider, i am seeing both RSS & Congress (Though congress was in power tgat time, congress part cannot be counted as GOI official)aren't GOI official, so as a citizen of this great nation i am seeing this as a goodwill visit from the delegation of our enemy nation. For me both these visits were unnecessary and its shrouded with mistery.
Its the GOI, not congress or BJP.
FYI, its BJP government of 2003 accepted Tibet is part of China, its the BJP government who decided to resume business with china after galwan incident. Its the pm from BJP lead government went and hug chinese oremier in SCO which held in 2025 just after op sindoor where chinese had provided PL15/17 to PAF just before op sindoor in emergency & gave realtime sat imagery of our position to pak.
You my dear amriki dalal from all your current and past shenanigans are a retarded *traitor*. reaching deluded and biased conclusions when you yourself admit your don't know the intent.
earlier agreements in 1954 (Panchsheel) and 1988 (Rajiv Gandhi) had already acknowledged Tibet as China's "Tibet region," with India not allowing anti-China activities by Tibetan refugees.
in June 2003 during Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's visit, India formalized this in a joint declaration with China's Wen Jiabao.
So? Your retarded brain unable to understand pragmatism?
Now you’re openly lying.
During the 25th SCO Summit in Tianjin (August 31 – September 1, 2025), there was no record of a hug between Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During the 25th SCO Summit held in Tianjin, China (August 31 – September 1, 2025), Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping did not hug. Instead, their interaction was marked by a formal handshake and a "cautious reset" of bilateral relations.
Hydra is not a ameriki dalal. A dalal i.e. a lobbyist is still someone who pushes a relationship for some interest of their own. It relies on their own pragmatic concerns and based on narrative which doesn't alienate both sides of relationship.
What hydra, if he is an Indian citizen officially, does is called being servile. He is ready to bend to USA, and he uses China as an excuse. Similarly how Beauracracy believed that counter to china would be reason enough for there to be Us-India smooth sailing. But successive US administration have shown that US wants a servile nation, not a partner.
While, an Indian would be pragmatic and would hedge their best while growing self reliance.. servile people would instead be wary of their master being angry and vehemently oppose any narrative, doctrine or policy which pushes back against US hold over policy and psyche.
So on the one hand they send a peace delegation to India.
On the other hand they are up to the same inflammatory tactics:
China reasserts territorial claims on Shaksgam Valley after India's objections
Remind me where I have seen this movie before?
Snakes know only one thing, bit you to death. Thats what chinese communist regime is.
