Journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead in Karnataka on Tuesday (September 5th). All intellectuals, including journalists, have aroused resentment in her murder.

Hindutva organizations are on the target of social media users. Gauri Lankesh used to criticize right-wing organizations and the BJP government in its magazine and on social media.

The social worker is being seen similarity in the muder of Lankesh and the murder of MM Kalburgi, who was killed in Karnataka in 2015. Previously, the lines of killing Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar were also linked to right-wing groups.

NDTV journalist Ravish Kumar has translated the last editorial written by Gauri Lankesh with the help of his friend. Ravi has presented it to his blog Kasba. Lankesh's editorial with Ravi Kumar's intro below.

Entro of Raviish Kumar: Gauri Lankesh is the name of the magazine. This 16-page magazine comes out every week. The price is Rs 15. The September 13 issue proved to be the last for Gauri Lankesh. With the help of our friend, we have translated her last editorial into Hindi so that you can know what the writing of this journalist writing in Kannada was, how was the edge of it. In each issue, Gauri used to write 'Kanda Haag' column. Kanda Haga means the way I see it. Her editorial was published on the third page of the magazine. This time the editorial was on the Fake News and her title was - in the time of Fake News -

The last editorial of Gauri Lankesh: In this week's issue, my friend Dr Vasu has written about the factory of making Fake News in India like Goebbels. Lies of such factories are mostly Modi devotees. I will try to tell about the loss that is being caused by the factory of falsehood in my editorial.

Now it was Ganesha Chaturthi that day. On that day a lie was spread in the social media. The people of the spreading were the RSS people. What is this lie? It is a lie that while the Karnataka government will speak, there is a statue of Ganesha to be installed, the first ten lacks will have to be deposited, the height of the idol will be, for this, the government has to seek permission, where other people live, Can not take the paths for immersion. Fireworks can not use anymore.

The people of RSS spread this lie a lot. This lie spread so loud that at the end, Karnataka Police Chief RK Dutta had to call the press and to make it clear that the government had not made any such rule. These are all lies.

When we tried to find out the source of this lie, then he went to the website called POSTCARD.IN. This website belongs to hardcore Hinduvists. Its work every day is created by creating Fake News and spreading it in the social media.

On August 11, a heading was put in POSTCARD.IN. The Taliban government in Karnataka. Through this heading, efforts have been made to spread lies in the state. The people of the RSS also succeed it. Those people who are angry with the Siddaramaiah government for some reason, they made this hack news their weapon. The most surprising and sad thing is that even people thought without thinking it was correct. Did not use your ears, nose and intelligence.

Last week when the court sentenced Ram Rahim, a cheating disciple named Baba for raping, many pictures of BJP leaders with Ram Rahim started becoming viral in social media. With this cheating Baba, the photographs and videos of BJP MLAs of Haryana became viral along with Modi. This made the BJP and the Sangh Parivar (RSS) disturbed.

To counter it, the picture of the Chief Minister of Kerala of CPI (M) Pinarai Vijayan was made viral sitting with Gurmeet Baba. This photo was photoshop.

In the real picture, the Congress leader Omn Chandi is sitting, but his body was placed on the trunk of Vijayan's head and the people of the RSS spread it in the social media.

Thankfully, this method of the RSS did not succeed because some people immediately brought out their original photos and put the truth in the social media.

Actually, there was no one to stop or expose the Fake News propaganda of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) till last year. Now many people have gathered in this kind of work, which is a good thing. Earlier this kind of Fake News used to go on, but now with Fake News, real news has started and people are also reading.

For example, on August 15, when Prime Minister Modi delivered the speech from Lal Qila, an analysis of it was viral on 17th August. Dhruv Rathi analyzed it. Dhruv Rathi is like a college boy, but for the last several months, he opens the reallity of Modi's lies in social media.

Earlier this video was visible to people like us, not reaching the common man, but on 17th August this video reached more than one lakh people in a day. (Gauri Lankesh used to write Busi Basiya to Modi, which means that whenever the mouth opens the lie will speak).

Dhruv Rathi said that in the Rajya Sabha, the government of 'Busi Basiya' had said a month ago in the Rajya Sabha that 33 lakh new taxpayers have come. Even before that, Finance Minister Jaitley had said that 91 lakh new taxpayers should be linked. Finally, the Economic Survey said that only 5 lakh 40 thousand new taxpayers were involved. So what's true in this, Dhruv Rathi has raised this question in his video.

Today's mainstream media keeps on spreading the data given by the central government and the BJP, like the Vedas Sentences. The spoken word of the government become Vedas Sentences for the main stream media. There are also ZEE TV news channel, they are ten steps ahead in this work.

For example, when Ramnath Kovind took the oath of office, many English TV channels reported that the number of President Covind's follow-up on Twitter has increased to 30 lakhs in just one hour. They kept shouting that 30 lakhs increased, 30 lakhs increased. Their motive was to tell how many people are supporting Kovind.

Many TV channels have become like the RSS team today. TV channels are working for the RSS only. While the truth was that on that day the government account of former President Pranab Mukherjee's name became the new president. When this change took place, then the follower of Rashtrapati Bhawan have now become the follower of Kovind.

Another thing to note about is that more than 30 lakhs people used to follow Pranab Mukherjee on Twitter.

Today, many people have come forward to bring the truth of this kind of spreading fake news of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Dhruv Ratthi are working through video. Pratik Sinha is working from the website of altnews.in. Website similar to Hocks Slayer, Boom and Fact Check are doing the same.

Also websites like THEWIERE.IN, SCROLL.IN, NEWSLAUNDRY.COM, THEQUINT.COM are also active. All those whom I have mentioned, have recently highlighted the truth of many Fake News. The people of the RSS have become quite upset with their work. Another important thing is that these people are not working for money. Their only aim is to bring the Fascist people's factory to the front of the people.

A few weeks ago, there was strong rain in Bengaluru. At that time the people of the RSS made a photo viral. Caption had written that NASA has released a photo of people walking on Mars. Bangalore Municipal Corporation BBMC has given the statement that this is not a photo of Mars.

The aim of the RSS was to make fun of Bengaluru by describing Mars. By making people understand that the Siddaramaiah government in Bangalore has done no work, the paths here have become bad, the purpose of the RSS was to disseminate false news through such propaganda.

But this RSS was heavier because these photos were not of Bengaluru but of Maharashtra, where the BJP government is.

When riots took place in West Bengal recently, the RSS people released two posters. The caption of a poster was that Bengal was burning, there was a picture of the burning of the property. In the second photo, a female sari is being pulled and caption is being tortured with the Hindu women in Bengal.

Very soon the truth of this photo surfaced. The first picture was of the 2002 Gujarat riots when Chief Minister Narendra Modi's government was in Gujarat. The second picture was of a scene of Bhojpuri cinema.

Not only RSS, BJP's central minister also specializes in spreading such fake news. For example, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari shared the photo in which some people were setting fire to the Tricolor. The caption of the photo was written on the Republic Day, the Tricolor is being set on fire in Hyderabad.

Now Google Image Search has come up with a new application, in which you can know any where and when it is done by putting any picture in it. Pratik Sinha did the same and exposed the truth of the photo shared by Gadkari through that application.

It is known that these photos are not of Hyderabad. These photos are of Pakistan where a restricted fundamentalist organization is burning the Tricolor against India.

Similarly, in a TV panel discussion, BJP spokesman Sanbit Patra said that how many problems are there to hoist the tricolor to the soldiers on the border, then what is the problem of hoisting the Tricolor in universities like JNU? By asking this question, Sanbit Patra showed a picture.

Later it was revealed that this is a famous picture. But it is not Indian, but American soldiers. During World War II, when the US troops captured an island in Japan, they waved their flag.

But Sanbit Patra was dodging the people through photoshop. But this made them quite heavy. The people on the tweeter have made a lot of fun.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal in the Modi Government recently shared a picture. Wrote that the Indian government has installed 30 lakhs LED bulbs on 50,000 kilometers of roads. But the pictures are fake.

This picture was not a picture of India, but in 2009 the pictures of Japan's roads was.

Piyush Goyal had earlier tweeted that the government has saved 25,900 crores in supply of coal. The picture of that tweet also turned out to be false.

Chhattisgarh's PWD Minister Rajesh Murat shared a bridge photo. Told the success of their government That Tweet received 2000 likes. Later it was found that the picture is not of Chhattisgarh but Vietnam.

RSS and BJP leaders in Karnataka are also spreading such fake news stories. Karnataka MP Pratap Simha shared a report, saying that it has come from Times of India. Their headline was that the hindu girl was murdered by a Muslim.

Pratap Simha, who gave knowledge of morality to the world, did not even try to know the truth. No newspaper had printed this news, but Headlines were placed in another news through Photoshop and given the Hindu-Muslim color. The name of the Times of India was used for this.

When the ruckus happened that it was a fake news, the MP deleted, but did not apologize. There is no remorse for spreading communal lies.

As my friend Vasu has written in this column, I even shared a faked news without thinking. On last Sunday, Lalu Yadav shared photos of Patna's rally and shared photos. In a while, friend Shashidhar said that this photo is fake. I immediately removed and accepted the mistake as well.

Not only that, both fake and the real picture tweeted together. There was no intention to provoke communal incidents or propaganda behind this mistake. People were accumulating against the fascists, I had the intention of conveying this message. Finally, salute to anyone who exposes the Fake News. I wish they were even more.
