The Atlantic publishes hit job against PM Modi: Here’s how the propaganda piece cherry-picks facts to attack the Indian leader

Op India  

“For India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, strength is everything.” A hit job on Indian PM Modi was published by American magazine The Atlantic on the 29th of November. The hit job titled “How a Strongman Made Himself Look Weak” claims that PM Modi responds to criticism within India by ‘co-opting’ the media and ‘repressing’ the religious minorities. Daniel Block, who previously wrote for leftist propaganda magazine “The Caravan”, claimed that Narendra Modi rose to power by “polarising the country’s Hindu majority against its Muslim minority, suggesting that Muslims stand in the way of restoring Hindu greatness.” 2002 Godhra carnage wherein 59 Hindu pilgrims were killed as a rampaging Islamist mob set on fire the S6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near the Godhra railway station in Gujarat. The Atlantic’s propaganda piece is stuffed with lies and innuendos with a clear intent to project a democratically elected four-time Chief Minister and three-time Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a despot in a democracy, who is ‘creating’ disputes with countries like the US and Canada to strengthen his “strongman” image. Notably, The Atlantic’s disdain for PM Modi and “Hindu nationalism” is not surprising given it has a history of peddling anti-Hindu propaganda and platforming people who have links with anti-India and anti-Hindu entities.
