Since 2020, the Disinfo Lab, allegedly an independent entity, has disseminated reports accusing U.S.-based critics of Indian Prime Minister Modi. Despite claiming unbiased research, it's revealed to be run by an Indian intelligence officer aiming to discredit foreign critics of the Modi government. The Lab's material circulates widely among right-wing Indians, Hindu nationalists, and is endorsed by influential figures on social media. The organization's ties to an intelligence officer raise concerns about the blurring line between India's security interests and political objectives. The Lab, led by Lt. Col. Dibya Satpathy, allegedly operates to shape international perceptions of India, utilizing covert influence tactics.
