An Unusual Pattern: How Protesters Are Vilified In Modi’s India

The farmer’s protest is a very controversial topic today because of unusual recent events. To some people, it may seem as just as any other protest against a discriminatory law but it’s much more than that because the government is clearly scheming against a group making them liable as another protest took place before lockdown but was shut down because of covid-19.

Every recent protest has seen a pattern of the government and pro-establishment media demonizing the protesters.

There is a pattern here. The government enforces laws that affect certain communities keeping their own community safe. Our government then uses GODI media to somehow make protestors look bad. Use the police to do their dirty work, and then we come to the people who actually believe in the government and are so blind to the facts when even a blind person can see through the lies.

Coming back to the topic. Similar to other recent protests,  the farmer’s protest was peaceful until  Republic Day .this was a golden opportunity for the government to make all the protestors look bad. A route was decided for a tractor rally but the number of protestors was so large that it could be easily infiltrated and nobody would notice. So the misguided protestors were lead to the wrong route and then took place endless violence from both sides, even the army was summoned.

GODI media did their job perfectly by broadcasting one-sided commentary on these events calling protestors names and nullified all allegations that the protestors made without even an investigation by police for whom the one-sided commentary worked. The farmers had bottled up their anger and the government took advantage of that.

In conclusion, protesting against a government makes you an anti-national or even a terrorist cause that’s how the protestors are treated but they are farmers after all with endless supplies. So, this may go on for a while.
