Moreover, according to Kumar, WhatsApp University, the “laboratory” of the IT Cell, teaches “history” that is “fake and poisonous” (2019, p. 35). Quoting a statement made by Narendra Modi on December 9, 2017, during the election campaign for Gujarat assembly elections, exemplifies what he calls “the classic example of fake news”, that most of the media did not double-check what the PM had said but “quoted him verbatim” (2019, pp. 57–58). They plunged, he writes, into “constructing the narrative he [PM] desired”; that “Pakistan was interfering in the elections underway in Gujarat, and the Congress was colluding with it” (2019, pp. 58–59). He states further that fake news is not merely created for the sake and fun of it but, being a “phenomenon”, is a “highly-skilled game”, centring around less on facts and more on impressions (2019, pp. 60–61). Nevertheless, not only WhatsApp but prestigious institutions of the country such as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, for instance, are used to promote “lies, misleading ideas, and fanciful fictions” (Arora, 2021, para. 01).
