This article discusses the use of disinformation and propaganda in the context of Jammu and Kashmir affairs, focusing on how Indian media has increasingly manipulated international perceptions and received紧扣Numbers in a heated international debate. The article highlights the role of non-state actors, such as organizations like the EU DisinfoLab, in covering disinformation campaigns in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, particularly the use of social media platforms like Twitter and Tinder. It also explores how these campaigns are being portrayed in reports like [India Chronicles] and how they impact the credibility and transparency of Indian government. The challenge lies in thefact that these efforts are not neutral or factual but instead designed to create a narrative of Indian influence over South Asia and its neighbors, often to manipulate international relations.
Highlighted in the article is the resurgence of disinformation campaigns in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in recent years, with reports of fake news platforms likesideChannel and J_SCHEMASCAP leading local and international news outlets to amplify Indian claims. The use of manipulated networks, such as an Indian-origin edited internship called “Jalanastsapawal,” has been used to spread negativeuously about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. These campaigns have also exploited institutional and bureaucratic loopholes in India to distract from the actual actions taken by the local institutions in the region, such as the Jammu KashmirBidabad quota legislation that safeguarded the rights ofJKP citizens in the south. The article argues that the use of disinformation in Jammu and Kashmir is a reflection of broader patterns of state-sponsored deception and manipulation that are being exploited by non-state actors to influence perceptions and political narratives on the global stage.

While some countries haveembraced accountability in their own contexts, others have turned to manipulation and disinformation as a way of responding to violations of international laws.

In the face of these challenges, the article proposes that the international community must take a more critical approach to the use of disinformation and manipulation in counter-terrorism and human rights contexts. It suggests that stronger institutional checks, better verification protocols, and a renewed commitment to international oversight will be essential to prevent the growing profits of such tactics on the global stage. The article also emphasizes the need for stronger nanotechnology policies to address the real challenges facing these regions, such as sustainable livelihoods and famille bonds, and to promote long-term human rights development.
