I, along with every Indian, am completely satisfied with the decisive actions of our Armed Forces. This conflict was a one-sided victory, with India dominating on the ground.
However, we fell short in the realm of information warfare, where China has outmaneuvered us. China has long infiltrated international media to shape global narratives, while India has yet to effectively counter this strategy. To compete, we must aggressively engage with international media and challenge China’s influence. Additionally, we should educate the Indian diaspora abroad on their role in supporting our narrative during times of conflict. To truly establish ourselves among global superpowers, India must strategically capture the major media outlets such as BBC, CNN, Sky News, ABC, FOX, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. Only then can we dominate the information landscape and secure our position on the world stage.
