Just recently, the Indian government has launched seven propaganda teams to various corners of the world, set to visit 32 countries and the EU headquarters.
What’s their mission?
Known as the Cinnabar Operation International Propaganda Teams, they comprise Indian government officials, experts from various fields, and Bollywood consultants and technicians. Their goal is to lobby world leaders and convey a simple message:
In this India-Pakistan war, India has achieved a resounding victory. Don’t be swayed by media hype or fall victim to deception. Claims of Pakistani aircraft shooting down Indian planes are nothing but fabrications. India is the undisputed winner—triumphant and supreme!
India roars: The world must know the truth!
The Indian international propaganda teams have come fully prepared, armed with thick stacks of hundreds of pages of materials, a plethora of PPTs and Excel spreadsheets, all richly illustrated and supplemented with a variety of long and short videos. They boast satellite images with location coordinates, intercepted communication records... but most importantly, detailed accounts of India’s achievements in this campaign, photos of Pakistani aircraft wreckage, destroyed Pakistani military bases and ports, and so on.
India has made up its mind: no matter the cost, it must make the world accept that in this war, India is the sole victor!
This all stems from the recent India-Pakistan war, where India suffered a crushing defeat. In aerial combat alone, India was outmatched 0-7. Its Rafale fighter jets were shot down immediately upon takeoff, without even a chance to engage.
Naturally, India attempted to suppress the news, but plane wreckage was scattered everywhere. Indian influencers flocked to the sites to shoot videos and check in, with clear logos visible on the debris—irrefutable evidence. Thousands of Indian online personalities were posting about it, making denial impossible.
Furious and embarrassed, the Indian government immediately sent a letter to X, formerly known as Twitter, demanding the suspension of 8,000 accounts accused of spreading rumors.
India warned X that failure to comply would result in legal action against its staff in India and tax investigations—a testament to India’s reputation as a graveyard for foreign firms!
But there was nothing that could be done. The India-Pakistan war was a global hot topic, with billions following the developments. The photos and videos were shared millions of times—how could they be contained?
Seething with anger, the Indian government mobilized all national media forces, determined to win this battle of public opinion.
Starting May 12th, thousands of Indian media outlets flooded the scene. With limited time and a huge task at hand, Indian editors, unable to craft detailed content, resorted to AI-generated articles. Stories of India’s overwhelming victories were mass-produced and disseminated.
For instance, The Times of India claimed India had destroyed a key Pakistani nuclear base, releasing a video showing billowing smoke.
But the truth emerged swiftly. High-resolution satellite imagery revealed the target building was intact. Discerning netizens uncovered that the video was actually recycled footage from the 2014 Gaza conflict, entirely unrelated to Pakistan. Even the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a statement confirming no damage to Pakistani nuclear facilities, publicly debunking Indian media claims.
Then, the Indian Express reported that India had launched a lightning aerial strike, severely damaging Pakistan’s Karachi Port, complete with numerous photos.
However, it was revealed that the explosion footage originated from the 2023 Beirut Port accident in Lebanon, and Pakistan’s port had never been attacked.
Next, India announced the destruction of Chinese-made HQ-9 missiles, presenting photos of wreckage.
But netizens quickly identified the parts as components of anti-aircraft guns produced by a Swiss company. What’s more, the serial numbers on the photos matched civilian air defense equipment exported to India in 2009.
Continuing the charade, India claimed its S-400 air defense system had shot down over 600 Pakistani drones, again providing ample photos. Indian TV even broadcast numerous videos of precise strike processes.
Yet, MIT Media Lab determined the footage to be AI-generated, with missile impact effects in the video highly resembling those from the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
No one believed India’s claims, especially since Pakistan announced it had deployed only 300 drones during the conflict. According to India’s logic, India would spend $3 million S-400 missiles to down a single $50,000 drone—a losing proposition.
Regardless of the videos and photos India released, netizens on the international internet were quick to investigate, exposing them as AI-synthesized, game captures, or historical news photos.
But India pressed on, publishing thousands of videos and photos daily, declaring victories with abandon.
On May 16th, Indian media suddenly unified in reporting that the Indian military had used S-400 systems to shoot down eight Pakistani F-16D fighter jets during Operation Cinnabar—an epic achievement!
Seeing this worked well, especially since Pakistan didn’t respond, India doubled down, with major media outlets trumpeting the downing of eight F-16s.
Why did Pakistan stay silent?
In this India-Pakistan war, Pakistan expressed deep gratitude to China, publicly thanking the country on multiple occasions.
Should India spread rumors about shooting down Chinese fighter jets, Pakistan would vehemently deny it.
But in this conflict, the U.S. remotely disabled the F-16s, leaving Pakistan with grievances. With India claiming to have shot down F-16s, Pakistan chose to remain silent, allowing the situation to play out to India’s detriment.
As for Russia, with its S-400 systems deemed ineffective, it was furious. Hearing India claim the S-400 had taken down F-16s, Russia was overjoyed, even eager to join in the boast.
Seeing Pakistan’s silence as an endorsement, India grew bolder, with major media outlets tout the downing of eight F-16s.
This enraged the U.S. The U.S. accused India of maligning French fighter jets, Israeli drones, and Russian air defense systems, and now dragging America into the fray.
Starting May 17th, U.S. media, including The New York Times, denounced India’s misinformation. The Times dedicated a full page to an article titled “India’s Media Filled with Zealous Lies,” systematically exposing India’s systemic falsifications, including fabricated claims of shooting down JF-17 fighter jets and paralyzing Karachi Port.
The New York Times revealed virtually all the rumors, refuting them one by one and ridiculing India mercilessly.
Two days later, the U.S. Department of State publicly refuted India’s war reports, stating that Pakistan’s F-16s never entered the conflict and India’s claims were outright lies.
What was India doing during this time?
It had declared a Victory Day domestically, with ten days of celebrations. Strict media censorship was enforced—anyone daring to suggest India’s defeat faced accusations of treason.
Yet, with the international community widely acknowledging India’s defeat, India was in a tough spot.
As we’ve mentioned, India instigated the India-Pakistan conflict to showcase its military might to the world.
Especially amid America’s tariff wars, India sought to lure international capital from China to India for exploitation. The plan was to reap massive profits from incoming dollars—a classic trap.
Thus, India aimed to convince the world: India is secure and stable as a rock.
This explains why India quickly backed down after a few days of fighting—fearing further exposure of its weaknesses. A prolonged conflict would reveal its vulnerabilities, deterring international investment. If you’re waging war and losing, who would invest in you?
But with global media declaring India’s defeat, India panicked.
So India decided to launch the global propaganda teams of Operation Cinnabar.
How exactly did this work?
In simple terms, it was a nationwide falsification campaign. As mentioned earlier, the Cinnabar propaganda teams included Bollywood technical support. Under their guidance, India began a massive造假 operation.
In Punjab’s junkyards, workers welded rusted motorcycle engines onto sheet metal, sprayed with “Made in China” markings, while Bollywood directors provided technical oversight. The next day, these shoddily crafted wreckage would grace the front pages of The Times of India.
All sectors were in a flurry of activity.
First was the prop production line. Tata Group’s automotive factories covertly converted two production lines to manufacture Pakistani drone wreckage, even assigning ISO certification codes to each fragment.
Next came academic endorsement. The Institute for National Defense Studies and Analyses hastily compiled hundreds of pages of reports, presenting missile accuracy formulas to explain India’s supposed victory to the world.
Then it was Bollywood’s turn. They repurposed aerial combat scenes from movies and games, rendering them into short videos for widespread dissemination.
Thus, when India’s diplomatic propaganda teams arrived in Japan with their extensive materials, the Japanese were stunned by the “data art” on display.
Three-dimensional bar charts on the PPTs showcased India’s Air Force achieving multiple military miracles: missiles could autonomously plan attack routes even when 11 kilometers off target.
More astonishing was India’s dynamic system. Spreadsheets automatically categorized tactics like “tactical withdrawal” and “strategic ambiguity.” Indian officials demonstrated how to use Excel’s PivotTable feature to transform an 87% missile miss rate into a “fire coverage advantage index.”
India persistently lobbied numerous Japanese officials to attend their presentations, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives... The subtitles on India’s PPTs declared India’s perpetual victory from drones to air defense systems. Indian scholars ranted on the podium, spittle flying...
Truth be told, the Japanese had no interest in this nonsense. Who would believe India won? Everyone yawned through the presentation, with the Indians狂热地咆哮着胜利的口号......
The Indians droned on endlessly, much to the Japanese’s annoyance. After repeated requests, Japan’s Foreign Minister, Kono Taro, had no choice but to meet with them.
After listening to the Indians for a while, Kono Taro, fed up, interrupted them, saying, “Alright, I get it. I have a meeting to attend.”
The Indians asked, “Did we win?”
Kono Taro replied, “Yes, yes, you won.”
The Indians pressed on, “Did we shoot down Pakistani fighter jets?”
Kono Taro responded, “Yes, yes, you did.”
The Indians continued, “The global media is lying, right?”
Kono Taro said, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
Then the Indians attempted to have Japan sign a joint statement. Sensing trouble, Kono Taro excused himself, claiming he needed his assistant to review it first, and promptly left. He likely cursed the fools the moment he stepped out of the venue.
Undeterred, on the evening of May 24th, the Indian Embassy in Japan announced the successful conclusion of the Cinnabar Propaganda Team’s Japan tour, declaring that Japan now knew India had won!
Next, the Cinnabar Operation delegation was set to head to South Korea for more “brainwashing”...
And this was just the beginning. With seven delegations in total, India planned to visit all major countries around the world.
Do you know why India is doing this? It’s because India is visiting each country one by one, throwing tantrums and forcing them to acknowledge India’s victory. Then, at future international conferences, including UN meetings, India can claim a major triumph.
India would say, “You all agreed that India won. Let’s see who dares to contradict me now!”
So shamelessly, India is even asking these countries to sign joint statements—essentially seeking written evidence to force them into acknowledging India’s victory.
This is truly astonishing!
Regardless of the actual outcome of the war, India demands that everyone joins in the deceit, proclaiming India’s victory...
At this point, I can only exclaim: I’ve never encountered such a brazenly shameless country!
This is truly eye-opening!
India claims its military is mighty, touting itself as the safest country in the world and inviting global foreign investment, especially from Apple, which had previously committed to moving in.
On the other side of the globe, however, Trump was fuming with rage, so furious he nearly slammed the table. This time, virtually all American media were united in denouncing India’s misinformation, transcending partisan divides.
Because India’s claim of shooting down eight F-16s was seen as an affront to American fundamentals. The thought of how this could impact their standing was unbearable.
Trump immediately issued a warning to Cook, stating, “Cook, I’m telling you, your Apple can only be produced in the United States. If you dare go to India, just wait and see how I’ll crush you! I’ll tax you into oblivion!”
