The Battle for the Narrative: Bharat and the Politics of Perception

The misfortune is that the country of Vivekananda, Ramakrishna and Netaji never highlighted them as much as it highlighted Marx and Lenin. But now these narratives have been exposed and the time has come to make Bharat strong with proper action

Some things that we clearly see never become news. So, there is something different that makes something news. But in the case of international media, it depends on narratives. If we try to find out how they want to portray Bharat in the current context, we would be surprised. There are many such reasons why Bharat has been portrayed wrongly for a long time. These are the reasons why the world’s largest social organisation, the RSS, is marked as communal, but if you identify a terrorist by their religion, you are labelled Islamophobic.

They will say that terrorism has no religion, even though many terrorists belong to a particular religion. But unveiling the truth suddenly becomes a communal gesture. This is how leftists have successfully created a barrier or judgemental parameter that has been totally controlled by them. If they label you as communal, you are considered so; if they do the same as an intellectual, you are considered good enough. But this is the time to expose their hypocrisy.

Those who give Bharat free lectures on humanity, how many people have they killed? Mao alone was responsible for the deaths of millions of people. The very followers of Mao now talk about human rights. Those who have raised the slogan “Har Ghar Se Hidma Niklega” in support of Madvi Hidma, a Maoist Naxalite leader accused of many killings—if their followers now talk about humanity or human rights, is it not funny? But the very strange fact is how they managed to portray themselves as neutral even while becoming supporters of such world-class notorious killers.

Very recently, we have seen how a group of people created chaos by portraying that Gen Z are against India and that they are being deprived. But who are they? Who gave them the authority to speak on behalf of Gen Z? Being a Gen Z myself, I didn’t, and neither did many other Gen Zs. They were none other than the political student unions AFi and AISA. Now, before giving them the authority to become the voice of Bharatiya youth, kindly check who they are and whether they even have any intention for Bharat or not.

A report published on 25 November 2025 in ThePrint, headlined “Delhi pollution protest: 22 students in judicial custody for ‘chilli spraying cops, pro-Hidma slogans’,” stated that they belonged to SFI and AISA. So, those who raised slogans in support of a person who killed many of our security personnel—do they really want the best for our youth? And what did the CPI(M) do? After the hanging of Afzal Guru, the terrorist involved in the attack on our Parliament, their press release stated: “The manner in which the death sentence was executed has come in for valid criticism.

The rejection of the mercy petition was not informed to the convict and the family and time given for approaching the Courts on this issue. The family of Afzal Guru was not given the opportunity to meet him for the last time.”[1] This is the nature of the CPI(M), SFI, or AISA—to soft-launch these terrorists or anti-nationalists. So here is the concern: those who are controlling such protests, what is their actual intention? Indian youths who blindly believed them, let them question themselves; if you are protesting for the lives of those students, who, as you claim, have committed suicide over the NEET row, why are you people doing so under the guidance of those whose forefathers killed millions of people?

So, before questioning the nation, question yourself first: are these really your questions? A country that always says “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” and whose Sanatan Hindu Dharma’s Sanskrit mantra says, “Oṃ sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ,” doesn’t need any knowledge from some genocider’s followers. Just think about how much positive thought is needed to utter such prayers.

This timeless Sanskrit prayer extends far beyond personal or familial well-being. Rather than seeking personal welfare alone, it expands our consciousness to embrace the well-being of all existence. It does not classify people into particular religions or classes; it does not even exclude one’s enemies. The mantra says, “Sarve”—all. And our brainwashed left mindset never thinks of that. The Dharma that always speaks for the good of “all” is labelled communal by these leftists. But now they have been exposed. Now people don’t need any such justification from the followers of such genocide perpetrators whose forefathers.

If we really want to make Bharat strong, we have to do something. It wouldn’t happen by just judging mistakes. It would not happen just by trying to make myself strong and questioning the government and the country. In this context, the words of our former President and Bharat Ratna Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam are very important. In one of his articles titled “How to Make India Strong?” in Prabuddha Bharat, he wrote, “India is a developing country. In order to make India strong, we must feel that we should become strong. We should not allow ourselves to be subjugated. We must dream, and transform our dreams into thoughts. Thoughts will result in action. Swami Vivekananda did not simply preach. He was a man of action”.

Similarly, we should follow such people who are men of action. We will find many people delivering knowledge without any action. But we should fix our ideals very carefully. We should follow manishis like Swami Vivekananda, as Dr. Kalam also told us. The misfortune is that the country of Vivekananda, Ramakrishna and Netaji never highlighted them as much as it highlighted Marx and Lenin. But now these narratives have been exposed and the time has come to make Bharat strong with proper action.
