Supporters of Khalistan escalate the violence using bots.
The use of social media has undoubtedly revolutionized how information is disseminated and causes are promoted globally. However, this powerful tool can also be misused, as seen in the case of supporters of Khalistan. This separatist movement advocating for an independent Sikh state in India has witnessed the rise of violent propaganda orchestrated through bots and automated accounts on social media platforms. In this blog, we delve into the disturbing trend of escalating violence by supporters of Khalistan using bots and explore its implications for social stability and digital security.
The Khalistan Movement: A Brief Overview
The Khalistan movement emerged in the 1970s as a demand for a separate Sikh state, independent of India. While it experienced its peak during the 1980s and 1990s, the movement has persisted, attracting supporters across the globe. Proponents of Khalistan argue for the preservation of Sikh culture, identity, and sovereignty. However, the movement has also been associated with violence and terrorism, which has led several countries to designate certain Khalistan groups as terrorist organizations.
The Pervasive Reach of Social Media
Social media platforms have become powerful tools for disseminating ideas and mobilizing supporters. For supporters of Khalistan, social media provides an avenue to amplify their message and engage a global audience. However, the rise of bots and automated accounts has raised concerns about the authenticity of online conversations and the impact on public opinion.
The Role of Bots in Escalating Violence
Bots, computer programs that automate actions on social media platforms, have become a tool of choice for amplifying messages and influencing public discourse. Supporters of Khalistan have exploited this technology to escalate violence through various means:
Spreading Propaganda: Bots disseminate inflammatory and extremist content, promoting the Khalistan cause and glorifying acts of violence. These automated accounts can flood social media platforms with propaganda, overwhelming genuine conversations and misleading users.
Radicalizing Users: Bots can identify individuals susceptible to radicalization and target them with tailored messages. By presenting a distorted view of reality and manipulating emotions, these bots lure individuals into supporting violent actions in the name of Khalistan.
Stifling Dissent: Bots are used to silence critics and stifle open debates. They flood discussions with abusive comments, intimidation tactics, and false information, creating a hostile environment that discourages meaningful dialogue.
Creating Fake Support: Bots can artificially inflate the appearance of support for the Khalistan movement by generating fake followers, likes, and retweets. This deception may lead the uninformed to believe that the movement has more significant backing than it actually does.
The Implications for Social Stability and Digital Security
The use of bots to escalate violence in the name of Khalistan poses several grave implications:
Social Unrest: Misinformation and propaganda disseminated by bots can incite social unrest, leading to real-world violence and instability.
National Security: The exploitation of social media to promote violence can have severe consequences for national security, particularly in countries like India, where the Khalistan movement has a history of terrorism.
Digital Trust: The misuse of bots erodes trust in social media platforms and undermines the authenticity of online conversations, making it challenging to differentiate genuine voices from automated ones.
International Relations: The promotion of violence by bots could strain diplomatic relations between countries, leading to increased tensions and hostilities.
The misuse of bots by supporters of Khalistan to escalate violence on social media is a concerning trend that demands attention from authorities, tech companies, and users alike. Addressing this issue requires a multi-pronged approach, including stringent measures to detect and remove bots, fostering media literacy to educate users about misinformation, and promoting open and inclusive dialogue. By safeguarding the digital space against bot manipulation, we can protect social stability and digital security while preserving the integrity of online conversations.

Regarding Biden’s ‘worst’ SOTU speech, Donald Trump made the absurd assertion that ‘He was higher than a kite’.
Former US President Donald Trump criticized Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, describing it as the worst he’s ever seen.
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, the GOP leader mentioned reports of a cocaine drug recovered from the White House in July last year.
Trump criticized Biden for being “higher than a kite” and “all jacked up” during his SOTU speech last month, suggesting he may be using cocaine.
Trump criticized the speaker’s high-pitched delivery, calling it the worst he’s ever seen.
The discovery of cocaine at the White House is causing speculation about a potential conspiracy.
He claimed that Biden is being aided by his appearance of falling asleep most of the time.
Trump demanded a drug test for Biden before a debate, stating he wants to ensure debates with him are drug-free. He believes debates should be drug-tested.
Trump’s claim that Biden was high during his State of the Union address is unsupported by Republicans and critics, who speculate about his energy source.
In July 2023, a white substance was found in a cubby near the White House’s West Executive door, identified as cocaine. The US Secret Service investigated and sent the materials to the FBI for further examination. However, no latent fingerprints were found, leading to the closure of the inquiry.
In March, Biden emphasized that any debate with Trump is contingent on his behavior.
Biden responded to Trump’s challenge to debates anytime, anywhere, anyplace, which they both debated twice during the 2020 campaign, with a third postponed.
Trump, the GOP presidential candidate, has made false claims about Biden’s drug use.
In 2016, Trump was reportedly seen repeatedly sniffing during a presidential debate, leading some to speculate he was using cocaine.
Actor Carrie Fisher and former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean claimed that Trump was under the influence of cocaine.

In a possible April Fools’ tweet, Elon Musk advances his anti-woke Disney agenda by saying, “Can’t wait to work with…”
%20(1).jpg)
Elon Musk expressed excitement about joining Disney as their Chief Deployment and Integration Officer, addressing criticisms of Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy.
Elon Musk, the SpaceX founder, used April Fools’ day to express his frustration with Disney’s ‘woke Disney’ agenda, using an idiosyncratic move to double down on his Disney hate train.
He expressed excitement to join Disney as their Chief Deployment and Integration Officer on X, a departure from his usual online attacks on the mass media company.
Elon Musk has criticized Disney CEO Bob Iger for the company’s content and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) approach, but also expressed excitement to collaborate with Iger and Kathleen Kennedy to make their content more woke.
Who is Kathleen Kennedy?
Lucasfilm president Kennedy has faced criticism for her rapid expansion of the Star Wars franchise, with new projects always available. Critics accuse her of infusing the ‘woke’ narrative into the franchise, despite her role in managing the beloved franchise.
Disney executives, including CEO Bob Iger, addressed the failing diversity efforts in a South Park special and a ‘Joining the Panderverse’ special, highlighting hyperbolic responses to the record.
Elon Musk – Disney Crossfire
Elon Musk’s recent tweet, curated on April Fools’ Day, reveals deep-seated sour relations with the media company and its associates.
Lucasfilm terminated its contract with Star Wars alum Gina Carano in 2021 after she shared a heated post on social media expressing her right-wing opinions. Carano claimed that the government made Jews hated by their neighbors for being Jews, which is similar to hating someone for their political views. This was not the first remark of her kind.
In February 2024, she sued Lucasfilm and Disney for firing her from The Mandalorian, with Elon Musk financially supporting her case.
He alleged Disney’s diversity guidelines for content were enforced by DEI Gestapo, conflating them with Nazi Germany’s secret police.
Disney boycotted Elon Musk’s microblogging platform towards 2023, halting posts and responding to his controversial claims.
In December, Musk criticized Disney for having a content problem, stating that their entire upcoming slate is unwatchable and they are the world’s biggest example of go woke, go broke.
