What’s currently laughable across the internet is how far-leftists especially the communists and Dravidianist YouTubers seem to exist in an alternate reality. They gather every debunked, discredited claim and peddle busted narratives as if they’ve unearthed some hidden truth. Despite these fake stories being publicly exposed and the perpetrators thoroughly embarrassed, these creators continue to dig up long-buried propaganda and then act as if they’ve struck gold. It’s not just absurd; it’s shameful.
In a recent interview on the Dravidianist propaganda YouTube channel ‘Aransei’, known for its ideological bias, communist sympathizer Maruthaiyan was invited to comment on Operation Sindoor. Instead of offering informed insight, Maruthaiyan went on a full-blown propaganda spree repeating baseless claims pushed by foreign anti-India media. Most notably, he declared that Indian Rafale jets were shot down by Pakistan’s military ironically, a claim even Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif couldn’t confirm. Asif had merely told CNN that his sources were “Indian social media.“ Yet, Maruthaiyan went even further, spinning a web of unsupported claims as if he had access to intelligence the Pakistani government itself lacked.
From the very start of the interview, Maruthaiyan mocked the Indian armed forces and questioned the government’s announcement about neutralizing terror camps. Yet, in a hypocritical twist, he wholeheartedly embraced the narrative peddled by foreign propaganda outlets. He said, “When a war is going on, we can never find out immediately which side is telling the truth. Both sides will say that we won, we won, we are the ones who are winning. Now, they (Indian) are saying that we have killed 100 terrorists, isn’t it? Yes, when they have declared that we are going to fight a war and going to attack the terrorists, then the terrorists seem to have been sitting there, don’t they?”
He laughed mockingly and then launched into another attack on the Indian government, “If you kill the tribals, then the dead are Maoists, extremists and terrorists. Now, here you can say the same and account them as terrorists, that’s it. They claim that there were children among those killed. Let that be on one side. On the other side, Pakistan is saying that they shot down five fighter jets—three Rafales and two MiGs.”
After asserting these wild claims, Maruthaiyan then cited Global Times—the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda mouthpiece as his primary source, stating, “This was first reported by Global Times, a Chinese newspaper. It came out on their website, and the Indian ambassador to China immediately responded, calling it baseless. But what’s more interesting in the social media yesterday was, The Hindu has published it. As soon as they published, people started calling N Ram should be arrested under the UAPA. He is a traitor. The Hindu rushed to post that this was an unverified post and retracted it after apologizing. But what’s the truth? A French intelligence officer allegedly told a CNN reporter that it was a Rafale jet that was shot down. Not only that—many other sources like the BBC also published this. Most importantly, The Telegraph from London made a detailed report with data. Then, Associated Press photojournalist Dawn Yards was in Kashmir on Wednesday morning. Outside Srinagar, some people said, ‘We saw a huge fireball erupting from the sky and falling down.’”
Commie Maruthaiyan further claimed that photojournalist Dawn Yards/ Dar Yasin attempted to capture images of the alleged incident but was stopped by authorities. He went on to say that, despite the restrictions, Yards managed to take some shots. He also claimed that a local villager tried to photograph the scene but was killed in an explosion. Maruthaiyan added that a similar loud blast occurred in Punjab, though no credible reports or confirmations were provided. Notably, there has been no mention by Associated Press or any legitimate news outlet—including photojournalists like Dar Yasin or Dawn Yards—regarding such incidents. Still, Maruthaiyan confidently asserted, “Now it is confirmed that the Rafale jets were shot down like a ₹1,500 crore Diwali rocket.”
What was even more surprising was that, throughout the entire video, the only thing that seemed remotely Indian was the title. Maruthaiyan spent the whole time discussing what Pakistan thinks, what its people believe, how China views the situation, and how international media has reported on it—while portraying India as if it’s just sitting idly by, doing nothing.
