In this episode of News That Matters by Neeraj jha, we uncover one of the most dangerous and organized propaganda ecosystems operating on social media today — the hate factory targeting India’s Muslim community through fake, scripted videos.
From a Muslim man offering a bribe to a policewoman, to another refusing to hoist the national flag, to a shocking clip of a man “marrying his niece” — these viral videos are not real. They are carefully staged and distributed to spread hatred and reinforce dangerous stereotypes. But who is behind them? How are they created, and who amplifies them to millions?
Our investigation exposes how an entire digital network — from small content creators to powerful right-wing propaganda pages — collaborates to manufacture outrage and normalize Islamophobia. Each video is presented as “reality,” but behind the scenes are disclaimers, hidden edits, and coordinated sharing strategies that turn lies into viral truth.
This isn’t just misinformation — it’s social engineering. It’s about shaping public perception, dividing communities, and feeding the cycle of hate. Watch the full report to understand how these fake visuals are weaponized — and why it’s time to question what you see online.
