"India’s current brand of information politics doesn’t serve it well during peace-time, and due to poor observability and interpretability are a liability during a conflict, too, incurring a high degree of reputational debt for the country in all cases. Optics, however, should not be the primary reason for eschewing suppression and threats of intimidation as tools of information politics, which itself emerges from broader political incentives and attitudes. They must be set aside, because they are objectively bad instruments of administration."

Ask me anything.
