Godi Media कांप क्यों रही है? | Social Sin by Nivedita

Nepal is burning, and the smoke has reached Indian social media. While corruption and public anger in Nepal sparked massive protests, some users in India interpreted these events as a possible attack on the government led by Modi. Amid the chaos, reactions ranged widely—some expressed fear, others seemed to enjoy the spectacle, and a few even encouraged similar uprisings in India, fantasizing about toppling governments or burning politicians’ houses. This episode of Social Sin explores how certain influencers and journalists react to international crises from the comfort of their homes. Smita Prakash, who is usually a prominent journalist, emerged as a social media influencer during the Nepal protests. She criticized street protests and expressed shock over the government resigning after people took to the streets, despite multiple deaths. We examine how some media personalities support corruption or create false narratives online while ignoring the larger systemic issues affecting millions. Nepal’s protests were fueled by decades of corruption, unemployment, and political mismanagement. Young people, frustrated and marginalized, took to the streets and eventually set fire to media houses aligned with the government. While violence is never justified, the youth’s frustration stemmed from being ignored, with social media platforms blocked and legitimate dissent suppressed. This video analyzes the role of social media, public outrage, and media complicity in shaping narratives, both in Nepal and India. We highlight the stark contrast between the real struggles of citizens and the performative outrage of some influencers. The episode questions media responsibility, the ethics of commentary, and the consequences of ignoring systemic failures.
