World War III and Role of Indian Media

While the corona virus has gripped the world, this deadly virus originated from the city of Wuhan in China and although it has spread all over the world, China seems to have got a good control over the virus and its transmission.

Due to this Chinese virus, while the number of people infected with coronavirus around the world and their death rate is increasing day by day, it has created a huge stress on the global health services, police system and social media. Small countries like Cuba, Vietnam, Japan have proved that lockdown is not a perfect solution to prevent and control the transmission of this virus, but if it is properly implemented, success can be achieved.

Overall China's role has always been questionable after the origin and spread of this virus. Perhaps due to international community pressure and trade relations, China is not able to clarify its role, in which the highest number of infections due to the corona virus, followed by Italy and Spain, increased in superpower countries like the United States, and the highest number of casualties also occurred here.

US President Donald Trump called this virus a 'Chinese virus' in front of the media and sparked a debate about China's role, while Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed displeasure on one side. The American media spread the term of this virus as "Cold Blooded War" all over the world. There is no doubt that the world politics will take a different turn in the future when the world is losing masses due to this virus.

Citing the Davos conference in early 2020, the U.S. and China stepped up talks on an important second phase of an agreement to boost trade ties, all while the U.S. economy is in recession and President Donald Trump is facing impeachment in the U.S. The solution to the growing decline of the US in the world economy is to increase the trade relations with China, which is the second largest economy in the world, it will be possible for the US to face this crisis.

At such a time, it is impossible to tell the friendship between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump and who will use this relationship for political ambitions. Communist China, the world's second largest economy, has adopted a "socialist market system" and is running an economic state system that keeps private capitalism and authoritarianism under political control. Therefore, whether Xi Jinping or Donald Trump is the mastermind, it will be seen in the future that both of them will get the success of this drama.

At this time China held the presidency of the 15-nation United Nations Security Council held in Beijing, China was not ready to discuss the Corona crisis in the conference. There is no reason to fear the corona virus and global transmission, this issue is a global public health issue when the Security Council's primary responsibility is geopolitical security and peace, China at that time shied away from responsibility for the origin of this virus and its global consequences.

The US did not respond to this. As a whole, in global politics, the corona crisis is a hen that lays golden eggs for many countries, rather than cutting it, many countries are more focused on sharing the eggs. There is a logic that in the future, the Corona crisis will end tomorrow, the political system that will control the political system during the Corona crisis will go back to them, so when America, which has been hit the most, will come out of such a big crisis, the credibility of Donald Trump will be increased, the impeachment will be aside and The American people will forget all the financial crisis and get back to work.

Therefore, the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping on trade relations in Davos needs to be viewed from many angles.

China has accused the American army of planting the corona virus in the Chinese city of Wuhan. After Trump named the world as the Chinese virus, this controversy erupted. Initially, China can do this to appease the US, while the argument that China has ambitions to become an economic superpower is coming forward, the possibility that Trump and Xi Jinping are at least a match cannot be ruled out.

US military has begun military exercises by massing air and naval forces on islands near China, China has challenged the world with a nuclear test. It will be revealed when the Corona crisis is man-made, but the manner in which the Corona virus has spread in America is also suspicious. Xi Jinping's popularity has declined over the past twelve months due to protests in Hong Kong, sluggish economy, Taiwan relations, China-US relations.

No one is immune to political ambitions, and Xi Jinping is no exception. Initially, there was an allegation that China hid the information about Corona, because of this in the future, when it is found, a picture like this is currently being seen.

The world revolves around the ambitious dragon and America. Both of them want to strengthen their economic and political grip on the global community Let's assume that the two will not waste their energy fighting each other because both of them are aware of the consequences of this war. Both the countries will strengthen their power positions by further strengthening their economic ties and further expand their arms trade and markets while enslaving the countries under their shadow.

Being subservient to America, American government system is a kind of slavery, following or appreciating American system, its elections, its culture / economic well-being, standard of living cannot be called intellectualism. As Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj knows from history, India has to imbibe political decision-making ability by looking at the history of America and India.
History shows the dark side of America towards India so India needs to be cautious in such a global crisis.

In 1971, the war of Bangladesh took place. At that time, a situation similar to the way in which America had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II. At that time, an American warship had come and stopped in the Bay of Bengal. America had also warned India. Henry Kissinger is the world's most famous diplomat. He has written down his memories under the name 'Memoirs'.

While mentioning it, Kissinger has clearly said that at that time America was preparing to drop atomic bomb on Kolkata. But in the meantime, Indira Gandhi signed a strategic alliance with Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia declared that any action against India would be against us because of this treaty. Therefore, indirectly, the nuclear attack on India was avoided due to America - Russia coming face to face.

But this incident opened the eyes of India. India realized how necessary it is to have an atomic bomb. Because India did not have nuclear bomb, America had prepared to drop nuclear bomb on us. At that time, if India had nuclear bombs in retaliation, the balance of terror would have remained and America would not have dared.

As a result, the idea that India should have an atomic bomb began to take hold at that time. But India had declared that it would not launch a nuclear first strike against any country and carried out nuclear tests for peaceful purposes in self-defense.

The world community and the media should be aware that the words nuclear test, nuclear war, nuclear arms race, third world war are easy to pronounce, but many terrible long-term consequences will have to be faced by all countries for generations.

A person who supports nuclear war despite knowing the consequences of nuclear testing is certainly not considered human. We should also be aware of the effect of a biological weapon like Corona in the race to prove technologically in the global arms race. Due to the intense heat generated in the sky due to the nuclear explosion, fires start everywhere and due to the pressure-shock-wave generated, the buildings collapse, the cities are destroyed, apart from the radiation released during these nuclear reactions, the life forms are also harmed.

At such a time, it is irresponsible for the media to use words like World War III, nuclear war to boost TRPs and news interest. The world also needs to know that World War III means that nuclear armed countries are armed with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth 24 times over, so no country would normally go in that direction knowing the dire consequences. The rational masses must learn to reason and teach others to awaken to how the political system can use people's fears.

Trump sponsored US irresponsible media even started spreading the news that China secretly conducted nuclear tests while the virus infection was increasing in the world. How the media in many other countries handled the news also depended on who held the reins of government there. At present in India, fast news is broadcasted through many TV news channels, internet media, web portals, web media, paid news, IT cells.

The Indian media did not check the credibility of the news of China's nuclear test broadcasted by the American media, and because of the discussion that the world is heading towards the third world war, the media has to be careful about the effect of such news or discussions on the general public. People need to realize that keeping the people under the shadow of fear and repression is going to benefit the system and anyone.

Therefore, whether it is a web portal, internet news or any media, the public should first check the credibility of the news. Third world war, nuclear war, as a professional reporter will certainly increase the interest and curiosity of your news, but as a human race, you will always be out of the public eye.

The responsibility of the media in the system is great, in the days of increasingly weak credibility, the light of the lamp can be useful to show the way, otherwise we can live in the dark because we have lost the way, but we have lost the way.
