I grew up hearing that seeing is believing. I think this idea was as meaningless back then, as it is right now. the use of pictures, videos and print, plays a very important role in propaganda.
The last Prime Minister was a prime example of excessive propaganda. He was portrayed as a messiah who would rescue the country from all challenges. Hero worship reached its height when anyone criticizing the Prime Minister or his policies was ruthlessly trolled online.
Derogatory remarks on social media and use of foul language was used to counter any critique of the PM. The public was made to believe that its now or never.
The young generation of the country was made to believe that a seventy year old man represents the youth of the country. The youth and anyone reading any form of text or literature, should keep two questions in mind while reading. One, who is producing the content? Second, for whom is the content being produced?
