In today's episode, we will tell you how digital toolkit has become a weapon of revolt. Now, wars are fought not on the battlefield but on the internet and social media. Today, enemies reach you through internet instead of elephants and horses. And now the fire of rebellion is ignited by fake news instead of torches.

Simply put, now the character of the rebellion and its reality has changed. And that's why today we will tell you about the new toolkit of the rebellion.

Today, it is being said that a big country like India got scared by a 22-year-old girl. The girl's name is Disha Ravi, who was arrested by the Delhi Police on 13 February on charges of treason. Delhi Police has said that the founder of the toolkit, which was made to tarnish the image of India, is a 22-year-old girl. But today, the girl's age is being discussed more than the crime she committed. A campaign is being launched for her release on social media and the hashtags associated with her name are trending on Twitter.

The girl's name came to the limelight when, on 13 February, the Delhi Police arrested her from her house in Bangalore. According to Delhi Police, Ravi has studied BBA from a college in Bangalore and is also the founder member of a group called 'Fridays For Future'.

Fridays For Future is a group of environmental activists working around the world on climate change, and Sweden's environmental activist Greta Thunberg is an important part of this group.

Now the thing to understand here is that Greta Thunberg had shared the toolkit designed to defame India on her Twitter account on 3 February. We had earlier told you that Monminder Singh Dhaliwal of Poetic Justice Foundation is the face behind this toolkit.

Poetic Justice Foundation is an NGO of Canada and according to Delhi Police, under the guise of the farmers' movement, these NGOs are strengthening the agenda of Khalistan in India.

According to Delhi Police, the toolkit that Thunberg had uploaded on Twitter was sent to her by Disha Ravi. This toolkit was prepared by three people - Disha Ravi, who has been sent to five-day police custody, the second is Nikita Jacob and the third person is Shantanu. Nikita Jacob and Shantanu are still absconding. Although a Delhi Police team had also reached Mumbai to arrest Nikita Jacob, she absconded.

Police has said that these three people were in contact with Monminder Singh Dhaliwal of Poetic Justice Foundation, who is writing a script to defame India while sitting in Canada. Delhi Police has told that Dhaliwal contacted Nikita Jacob in India through a friend, Puneet.

This was followed by a Zoom Meeting organized by the Poetic Justice Foundation on 11 January, attended by Nikita Jacob, Shantanu and Disha Ravi.

As per police, it was decided in this meeting that when India will be celebrating Republic Day on January 26, how a digital strike will be done on India. This means that the entire script had already been written. And the hashtag that America's famous pop singers Rihanna and Greta Thunberg tweeted, the mention of that hashtag was also part of this script.

The 22-year-old girl named Ravi, who some people are saying is innocent, wrote the entire script to defame India. Police said that Disha Ravi and her colleagues had already decided that false news would be spread among the farmers on 26 January in India.

Today, when we started connecting all these links, we came to the conclusion that what is happening in India in the name of farmers' movement, there are huge forces behind it and today Delhi Police has also accepted this.

Today, from social media to mainstream media, the impression is being made that Disha Ravi is only 22 years old. Journalists, intellectuals and leaders of our country are calling her arrest an attack on democracy. That is, these people are standing with Ravi, not with the country.

Today we also tell you about three misconceptions related to the farmers' movement.

The first misconception is that Disha Ravi is only a 22-year-old girl and arresting her is wrong. A handful of people are reinforcing the mistaken belief that India is scared of a 22-year-old girl.

The second is that the farmers driving SUVs and expensive vehicles are also poor. It is often said that the poor food providers (annadatas) of our country are shivering out in the cold. But when you get closer to reality, it is known that the farmers who are being described as poor, have SUVs and other expensive cars to run.

The third is that the government is arrogant and is not talking to the farmers. While the truth is that many rounds of negotiations have been held between the government and the farmers and the government has even told the farmers that they are ready to hold the new agricultural laws on hold for one and a half years. But the farmers are clearly refusing to talk.
