India Seeks to Strengthen Global Narrative Amid Western Media Dominance
India faces challenges in asserting its global influence amid a shift toward cognitive warfare, where controlling narratives and public perception is crucial. Despite efforts by Indian international broadcasters, the country's media presence abroad remains limited compared to Western outlets, allowing misrepresentations of its policies. Additionally, India contends with Western narrative dominance rooted in historical epistemic colonialism, which shapes global perceptions through media and cultural frameworks. Experts emphasize the need for India to develop its own discursive strategies to effectively counter these prevailing narratives and enhance its global standing.
