I have no problem with Elon Musk taking over Twitter. Yes, everything about him may be questionable, starting from his dubious accomplishments to the reality of how self-made he really is, and he may have the worst priorities among those with an obnoxious amount of money, but we are forgiving people. We should take celebrities at face value because that is what we do best. If he wants to turn that social media platform into a mouthpiece for the worst human beings on the planet, it shouldn’t affect us because what happens in the world outside our borders really isn’t any of our business.

What I do have a problem with is how that world constantly uses everything at its disposal to malign our great country and make us seem worse than we really are. Take the World Health Organization (WHO) report published last week, for instance, that claimed 4.7 million “excess” COVID deaths in India between January 2020 and December 2021. It claimed to be 10 times the official figures presented by our government, and almost a third of COVID deaths globally. Naturally, the WHO was lying. We know this because if there is one thing state-sponsored history textbooks have taught us, it is that the government of India has never lied. Every official announcement that comes from New Delhi is a fact.
