Book Summary: 

India Misinformed: The True Story examines the rise of misinformation, fake news, and propaganda in India and their impact on society, politics, and democracy. Written by the team behind Alt News, the book presents numerous case studies of viral claims, manipulated images, fabricated stories, and misleading narratives that spread through social media, messaging platforms, and even mainstream media. The authors investigate how false information is created, amplified, and used to influence public opinion, often leading to communal tensions, mob violence, defamation, and political polarization. By analyzing real examples involving public figures, historical events, and social issues, the book teaches readers how to identify misinformation, verify sources, and develop critical thinking skills in the digital age. It serves as both a documentation of India's fake-news ecosystem and a practical guide to media literacy.
