My question is how is it Pakistan has so much money to pay off journalists but India cannot get one positive article written in International media.

It is a failure of managing the narrative. BJP is terrible at this. It can be done, just needs smarts.
You have no idea how much clout China exercises in media and academia in the US and worldwide. No "South Asia Studies" like nonsense about China. It uses money and muscle power both in managing media narratives. India is a whipping boy.

India does not even have a serious whetting process for visas for toxic academia/media. Anti-India hands like Audrey can tour. a #NyTImes Gettleman can pour venom from Delhi. Khalistanis can get OCIs. This is just bare minimum. Turn heat on and see the effects.

@DrSJaishankar
@DrSJaishankar I am not saying the govt should pay the crooks. But it needs to use sam-dam-dand-bheda to manage narrative. Right now it is simply clueless about it.

@DrSJaishankar It has really done nothing to build and support an alternative ecosystem.

@DrSJaishankar That's why I started @GarudaPrakashan. To build and support an alternative ecosystem, investing my own money into it.

@DrSJaishankar @GarudaPrakashan India does not need to craft its policies under influence from the West, yes. But it needs to spread its narrative and *create* influence worldwide. Both are complementary.

@DrSJaishankar @GarudaPrakashan People who are saying narrative does not matter are completely naive. (Just like RSS/BJP samsakara of "just do work, don't worry about story.")

Kashmir is not a law and order problem, it is a narrative problem. No amount of "development" will fix it.
