‘THESE ARA THE TIMES, SIR, EXCUSES!’--INDRA

12-FEB-ENG 1

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-------------------------India (Indra Yadav) Seeing the current politics, you feel like banging your head. Back then, people were afraid of sticks and batons, but now they tremble at the sight of a pen drive. And the sir's worries! Brother, sir is sir, even Lord Indra in Indralok is worried that someone might leak the video of Menaka and Rambha from heaven!

What happens if a CD comes? Times have changed, sir. Now, when people see it, they don't ask "what is this," but rather "who edited it." The devotees are ready. As soon as the CD surfaced, slogans echoed: "This is a conspiracy to tarnish the image of the Sahib!" AI has now become the most powerful weapon. Any scandal, any video.

The devotees argued so convincingly that even scientists were baffled. They said: "This is not the Sahib, this is the work of AI. Can't you see, the shine of the Sahib's kurta is 10% less in the video, this is definitely a fake!"

And the talk of a "fake case" is the cherry on the cake. Cases of defamation, physical harm, and self-harm are filed against the person who released the CD. The police acted with such alacrity as if they had caught a traitor, not a criminal.

Lord Indra must be thinking that I only know how to use the thunderbolt, but this 'digital thunderbolt' will shake my throne. What's new? Now the new thing is that politicians are not giving speeches, but are walking around with 'technical certificates' saying, "Brother, I am real, check my pixels."

The point is this: this is not the time for 'truth,' this is the time for 'narrative.' Whether the video is real or fake, the only thing that remains to be decided is whether it should be put in the 'AI' basket or the 'conspiracy' bag.

Opposition leader: Sir, aren't you afraid of your CD getting leaked?

Sir: (smiling) Why should I be afraid? I would say to myself, 'Brothers and sisters, see how AI has made my face even more glowing. This is the technology of a changing India!' Satire.
