There is democracy, that is, there are countries that believe in taking everyone along. India is not in it. We are not rich. But here is democracy. Probably excessive. We don't deserve it. We need a strict ruler. Soti vage cham cham ne shisht aave cham cham. India is a guest country at the G-7 Summit. No, not our Prime Minister, but a virtual body addressed the conference.

Authoritarianism, Terrorism, Violent Extremism, Economic Corruption, Disinformation and Infodemics. Naturally, this gesture is towards our neighbors China and Pakistan. We got the words.

If we take the information by filling one of these achams, then the news will be drunk knowingly (excessively)! Every exchange that takes place is full of spice of one's own opinions. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 'disinformation' means misinformation, which is intentional or often covert. A rumor that is intentionally planted.

The spreader knows that all this is completely wrong but I will spread it. I will spread the sharpness. In the case of misinformation, the perpetrator himself believes that this is true and also believes that other people have every right to know. And so misinformation continues to be sold and distributed all over the online market. There is also a third word. Misinformation. The information here is true, but it is used to harm an individual, an organization, or a country. Gu. Takes. According to 'mail' is a prefix used in the sense of ku-, duh, dursh, adham.

Extensive epidemic information? This is a difficult word. Mr. Modi, why did you also climb Shashi Tharoor's path? !! The word infodemic is information that reaches a sixth of an hour. People should wear masks, clean their hands frequently with a sanitizer or follow the instructions of Do Gajki Doori Hai Zaruri - but the information will remain infected. Just like Kovidwave. Wear a mask over our eyes and ears! Even if we are Gandhiji's three monkeys, this is an epidemic, don't give up. However this word contains only information. No more 'miss', 'dis' or 'mail'. So this information may be true. Now, if the true information spreads quickly and openly, what is wrong with it? You're right. But the trouble is that the combination of fact and rumor is sangopang. It is difficult for us to discriminate against the ignorant. Moreover, if the sourness of fear is mixed in it, then the milk aka milk will burst. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Right? And then this information takes over the economy, politics and security of our country and the world. Infodemic is such a thing. Iti!
