Demonising Hindu practices, defaming the Hindu community as “covid superspreaders” during Maha Kumbh Mela, downplaying the Delhi riots and advocating Islamic atrocities, debunking Kashmir integrity and irrationally alleging CAA & abolition of Article 370 as antithetical to India’s constitutional fabric, escalating false narratives against the government & Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the list of blatant lies and anti-India propaganda of journalist Hannah Ellis Petersen continues. She is the South Asian correspondent of the British daily The Guardian.
However, her job is not to report the happenings in South Asia with credible facts and evidence. Instead, her goal is to consistently orchestrate anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda in Western media, thereby defaming the country, its government, its leaders and its civilisational ethos. The series of lies that Ellis-Petersen has weaved about the political, developmental and cultural landscape of India clearly illustrates her strong and deliberate anti-India stance, as a typical mouthpiece of the western media network.
In her latest anti-India propaganda stunt, Hannah Ellis-Peterson was spotted covering the protest of the Cockroach Janata Party(CJP) in New Delhi. She was amplifying & glorifying the CJP protest and its illicit motives. It was a clear sign of forging anti-government rhetoric. Her keen affiliation with the CJP protest also reflects the hidden motives of the Cockroach party as an anti-India propaganda tool. The articles and reports of Hannah Ellis-Peterson are sourced across the globe by journalists, media houses, NGOs, think tanks and policy makers. Thus, her continuous anti-India tone sets a clear horrific picture about the country in the Western world. It is a deliberate stunt to defame India across the globe & script a negative story.
Choreographing anti-India narratives: An eternal attribute of western media mouthpieces
The series of anti-India and anti-government rhetoric fueled by the Guardian Journalist Hannah Ellis-Petersen by hiding the facts and espousing biased, manipulative narratives is illustrated below which evidently exposes her illicit intentions against India and how she is an integral wing of the anti-India western media club.
Ellis-Petersen’s reporting largely concentrates on political, social and human rights issues in Bharat. Western correspondents like Ellis-Petersen disproportionately focus on artificially cooked up negative stories such as poverty, religious polarisation, decline of press freedom and social conflict while ignoring major infrastructure growth, digital public goods or welfare schemes implemented by the Bhartiya state.
Amplifying communal tensions, but selective ignorance on national security issues
Her articles frequently critique the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, often describing a shrinking space for political dissent and rising majoritarianism. She also speaks about the declining press freedom in India, targets independent journalists and criticises the IT raid on BBC. She glorifies minor communal conflicts, law & order incidents in India and claims that majoritarianism is spiking in the country at the cost of minority rights. However, she selectively forgets or ignores the atrocities committed on the Hindu population and other national security issues including CAA, abolition of article 370 and the Kashmir integrity.
Advocating for Pakistan and false allegations on India
Propagandist Hannah Ellis-Petersen under the veil of being a journalist makes false allegations about India conducting extra judicial operations in Pakistan. In one of her most controversial pieces she claimed that the Indian government orchestrated extrajudicial operations in Pakistan, drawing parallels to tactics used by intelligence agencies like Mossad. This article was strongly condemned by Indian officials and nationalist social media users as it is a part of a negative international narrative.
False claims on revocation of OCI citizenship
Her coverage of individuals losing their Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status after being critical of government policies has been another focal point of the “anti-India” labeling, with analysts asserting that the government is simply enforcing strict national security and immigration criteria.
CAA & baseless targeting of PM Modi
During the CAA protest, Hannah Ellis-Petersen picturised a negative perspective. Instead of asserting the fact that the CAA helped to fast track the citizenship process of the religious minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who were persecuted in those countries, the Guardian journalist quotes the law as”toxic masculinity of Modi’s Hindutva politics”. This mirrors the biased journalism of Ellis-Petersen and her strong anti-India sentiments that provokes further distress in the country and abroad during sensitive circumstances.
Delhi Riots and pro-radical Islamist narrative
During the 2020 Delhi riots, journalist Hannah Ellis-Petersen gave a clean chit to the radical islamists. She defended the riots as a clash between Hindus and Muslims.
Baseless allgations on Ayodhya Ram Mandir and Maha Kumbh Mela
With respect to Ram Janmabhoomi verdict and the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya Ellis-Petersen wrote false claims and said that “Thousands of mosques are being disputed as Hindu nationalists seek to rewrite India’s history”. This writing shows how the Guardian journalist aims to erase facts and set fake narratives. It was invaders and Islamists who erased the original Indian history and rewrote it with false narratives. Hindus are now trying to reclaim their genuine rights and lost civilisational glory in their own motherland and rewrite the real history. However, Ellis-Petersen manipulates this fact and putsforth false allegations. She dehumanised Hindus participating in Kumbh Mela as ‘Covid superspreaders’ despite no evidence to back her claims.
The list of anti-India stunts by the Guardian journalist Hannah Ellis-Petersen continues. With zero evidence and backed by zero facts she continues targeting India, its Hindu community, civilisational practices, government and leaders. Her latest tool is the glorification of the illicit agenda of the Cockroach Janata Party(CJP). Hannah Ellis-Petersen is clearly a western media tool to invoke anti-India narratives, her series of articles and reports prove it time and again.
India as a country and its people should be vigilant of such anti-India forces and propaganda machines who attempt to destabilise the civilisational and developmental fabric of the country, who aim to harm the nation’s unity, integrity, sovereignty and growth momentum, by fueling false, biased and baseless narratives.
