Comparing Zionist Propaganda and Hindutva Propaganda
Zionism and Hindutva are two political ideologies that have been accused of using propaganda to promote their causes. Both advocate for the establishment of ethno-religious homelands, and both have been accused of using propaganda to demonize their opponents and justify their actions.
👉 Similarities in Propaganda
There are a number of similarities between Zionist propaganda and Hindutva propaganda. Both movements:
***Exaggerate the threat posed by their opponents**
Zionists often portray Palestinians as a threat to the existence of Israel, while Hindutva proponents often portray Muslims and Christians as a threat to the existence of India as a Hindu-majority state.
* **Demonize their opponents**
Zionists often portray Palestinians as terrorists and savages, while Hindutva proponents often portray Muslims and Christians as fanatics and invaders.
* **Minimize the suffering of their opponents**
Zionists often minimize the suffering of Palestinians, such as the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Israeli military operations, while Hindutva proponents often minimize the suffering of Muslims and Christians, such as the deaths of Muslim and Christian civilians in mob violence.
* **Promote the myth of a "Greater Homeland"**
Zionists promote the myth of "Greater Israel," which is the idea that the State of Israel should include all of the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, while Hindutva proponents promote the myth of "Akhand Bharat," which is the idea that India should include all of the territory that was once part of the Hindu empires of the past.
**Impact of propaganda**
Both Zionist propaganda and Hindutva propaganda have had a significant impact on public opinion and on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Indian political landscape. Zionist propaganda has helped to create a climate of fear and hostility towards Palestinians, making it more difficult to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hindutva propaganda has helped to create a climate of fear and hostility towards Muslims and Christians in India, making it more difficult to promote religious tolerance and pluralism in India.
The use of propaganda by Zionists and Hindutva proponents is a serious problem.
It has helped to create a climate of fear and hatred, and it has made it more difficult to resolve conflicts and promote peace and harmony. It is important to be aware of the ways in which Zionist and Hindutva propaganda is used so that we can be critical of the information that we are presented with.
👉 Additional notes:
* Both Zionist and Hindutva propaganda have been used to justify violence against their opponents.
* Both Zionist and Hindutva propaganda have been used to silence dissent and to promote intolerance and bigotry.
* Both Zionist and Hindutva propaganda have been used to manipulate public opinion and to undermine democracy.
It is important to resist all forms of propaganda, regardless of its source. We must be critical of the information that we are presented with and we must stand up for the values of Tolerance, Pluralism, and Democracy.

Kashif Mirza President All Pakistan Private Schools Federation wrote a letter to Mr Imran Khan Prime Minister Pakistan & requested for cancellation of Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) October-November 2020 exams, asking for an award of predicted grades instead.
@CambridgeInt I’ve written to you again about your refusal to consider any reasonable alternatives this Oct/Nov if students cannot safely take exams. I don’t understand why you are now planning for adjustments next year but are not considering them for the Oct/Nov 2020 series.
We want teacher assessed grades at all costs. CAIE gave all May/June students teacher assessed grades. Oct/Nov candidates who want to opt for teacher assessed grades should be given another opportunity.

We need expected in October Nov and it's for everyone whether a normal school candidate or private candidate. We want justice for both. And we demand expected grades. No one is ready to give any exam in this pandemic
