Date: May 15, 2025 In a growing digital threat to India’s internal stability, Pakistan’s official YouTube channel — “Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Pakistan” — has been promoting hate speech, fake narratives, and propaganda videos targeting India.
Even more disturbing is the revelation that these videos are being promoted via paid YouTube ads, demographically targeted specifically at Indian users, bypassing their own domestic audience. Reports of such sponsored ads have emerged from Delhi, Punjab, Maharashtra, Jammu & Kashmir, and several other regions, raising questions about a state-sponsored digital warfare strategy.
Cybersecurity experts and digital intelligence analysts warn that this coordinated effort is more than just online noise — it could be a deliberate attempt to incite unrest and influence public opinion within India.
One alarming element in these videos is the misuse of Sikh identity, where Pakistani media is seen portraying Sikh soldiers and selectively edited footage in an attempt to attract support from Khalistani sympathizers — not only within Pakistan but also in India and across Western nations.
This marks a serious escalation in narrative warfare, where religious and emotional sentiments are being exploited to deepen fault lines and disrupt India’s internal peace.
Despite these ongoing campaigns, the Indian government has yet to release a formal statement. Citizens and experts are now demanding transparency and urgent countermeasures, including:
- Demanding YouTube and Google block such content regionally
- Strengthening digital surveillance across platforms
- Public awareness campaigns to prevent misinformation spread
- Formal diplomatic and cybersecurity-level protests
This digital offensive, cloaked in the garb of media freedom, is a new frontier of hybrid warfare. It is imperative that India responds decisively, not only to neutralize such propaganda but to send a clear message that weaponizing information comes with consequences.
