post Truth
We know the definition of Post Truth very well.
According to Oxford Dictionary that
"Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.
‘in this era of post-truth politics, it's easy to cherry-pick data and come to whatever conclusion you desire'."
It means the truth has broken by media and another social media like facebook, twitter,whats app,Instagram etc, that the truth has saw as very Pepperded, and the conclusion has desired by whatever they want. Nd some of critic has believed that this era also a 'Post Truth Political Era'.
India’s version of post-truth is different to its Western counterparts due to the country’s socioeconomic status; its per capita nominal income is less than 3% of that of the US (or 4% of that of the UK). Still, post-truth is everywhere in India.
It can be seen in our booming Wall Street but failing main streets, our teacher-less schools and our infrastructure-less villages. We have the ability to influence the world without enjoying good governance or a basic living conditions for so many at home.
Modi’s government has shown how key decisions can be completely divorced from the everyday lives of Indian citizens, but spun to seem like they have been made for their benefit. Nowhere is this more evident than with India’s latest demonetisation drive , which plunged the country into crisis, demonetisation drive, and hit poorest people the hardest.
Despite the levels of extreme poverty in India, when it comes to social development, the cult of Growth dominates over the development agenda, a trend that Modi has exacerbated, but that started with past - Governments.
The dichotomy of India’s current post-truth experience was nicely summed up by Arun Shourie, an influential former minister from Modi’s own party. He disagrees with the prime minister, just as many Republicans share sharp differences of opinion with President Trump.
Shourie said the policies of the current administration were equal to his predecessors’ policies, plus a cow.
