Pakistanis simply cannot match us in terms of social media presence.
Yes there are liberals who dont support india but the number of loyal Indians far exceeds both pakistani supporters and liberals combined. These loyal Indians are doing exactly whats needed, they are actively countering and exposing pakistani propaganda online.
However if i have to point out where we are failing on the global stage, its in the media narrative. The global media landscape is largely biased against india or in favor of pakistan. Since the early days, the pakistani government has been feeding false information to major news outlets like CNN. These outlets would publish stories citing "pakistani government sources” or “anonymous US/French sources” without proper verification. Despite this lack of confirmation, the global media echoed those narratives and soon the world started believing pakistan was somehow defeating india, all based on unverified reports.
The only media outlet that tried to present india’s side was Yalda Hakim’s Sky News. She genuinely made an effort to show india’s achievements and truth but unfortunately, their reach was limited compared to giants like CNN.
I have watched plenty of korean, japanese, thai and other east asian news channels to understand their perspective (As west was already manipulated by CNN) and it became clear that even the eastern sphere was heavily influenced by CNN's false narrative as well. They were simply repeating what CNN reported, without fact checking or presenting alternative views. This is how the global spread of a false narrative happened.
Indians actually did a lot to stop the spread of misinformation but they were dismissed and mocked online, called pajeets, IT cell scammers, liars and other slurs.
Now I am sure it's a sinster troop against India

Why is anti India getting so much traction
? Still despite all this, most indians fought relentlessly against pakistani narratives on social media.
One major mistake on our part was that our government wasnt vocal enough during the early stages of the conflict. We didnt use global platforms like CNN to tell our side of the story, while pakistan was actively pushing theirs. As a result, the international media only presented pakistan’s version, and the world believed it. If only our government had engaged with international media from the beginning, things might have been different today.
Now, the government is finally trying to send ministers abroad to present india’s perspective. But honestly, it might be too late. Im not sure whether it will work or not but i still hope the world eventually sees the truth about this conflict and understands our side of the story.
