I am amazed that the title is allowed to stand despite the original title and the content. The origin of the image is unclear. Sure, one can speculate that "India ruling party's IT cell" is behind the morphed image. This is what this comment section is for. But without hard proof the title is as much of an propaganda as are the morphed image. Are we going to tag everything a Democrat does as "US ruling party's" doing?

Do you think it is possible for one side to doctor images and make it viral by planting it in the opposition's filter bubble (possibly by your embedded twitter agents) only to be easily outed like Alan Sokal did. We live in interesting times.

They just shared the pictures right? We aren’t sure if they actually created the pictures, or who they obtained the altered pictures from.

Exactly. Only recently we had this fiasco (less than a year ago): https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/23/23419366/the-wire-meta-indian-news-outlet-retracts-story https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/23/23419366/the-wire-meta-i... HN was fooled multiple times during that episode. It looks like HN likes being gullible when simple common sense would have prevented that. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=thewire.in https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=thewire.in

HN has an inherent bias against India and Indians. Just open any of the H1B related posts and you will see how open minded the liberal tech worker of USA is about India and Indians. Of course, they are all for immigration just the H1B brings up debate about 'Quality of Work. Hypocrites. I think the American Narrow Minded view of the World is due to they growing up in a 2 party system that only looks at things as Black and White ( Not the race ), as Right and Wrong ( that's better ). They are basically fed what they are supposed to think by CNNs, NYTs, Guardians etc etc Like Uncle Soros they believe they understand India better than Indians. Uncle Soros wants to bring 'Democracy' to World's largest Democracy, because 1 Billion Indians don't know what they should vote for - They need a White Man to tell them that. . In their own Country they created False Accusations against their President - Published in all 'respected' mainstream Newspapers. United States of Gaslighting is where they are at. Let's see if @dang is open minded enough to do something about the title after 400 upvotes are already made.
