In a surprising twist, Arfa Khanum Sherwani shook the Right Wing on social media! This well-known anti-Modi and anti-Hindu voice recently criticized her own media ecosystem. She lambasted YouTubers, who were once part of her ideological circle, calling them “propagandists for the opposition.”
It’s ironic, coming from someone whose own journalistic brand has consistently been flavored with the same bias she now critiques. She verbally disses all that is Bhagwa at every stance and finds illogical conspiracies in Olympic losses! Thus, many ask: Is this a genuine moment of reflection or just another self-serving narrative shift? Let’s talk!
Arfa Khanum Sherwani: Critiquing Other Propagandists But Not Herself!
Disowned by ecosystem !!
The Wire journo Arfa Khanum open-up that YouTubers are not journalist and they have now became "propagandists for opposition".
Ravish Kumar, Abhisar, Ajit Anjum etc are under the bus and first casualty of this opinion. pic.twitter.com/5K1ArO0OvJ

In her latest video, Arfa Khanum Sherwani took a swipe at popular YouTubers. Her ire and critique landed squarely on journalist-cum-youtubers like Ravish Kumar, Abhisar Sharma, and Ajit Anjum. Arfa Khanum Sherwani accused these gems of the Opposition ecosystem of abandoning journalistic integrity. However, she blames them for sensationalizing content for the sake of views.
According to Arfa Aunty, they’ve strayed from true journalism, becoming mouthpieces for the opposition.
However, despite her accusations, she carefully avoids drawing comparisons to pro-Modi media. Many netizens wonder if she is shying away from highlighting her own biases. Arfa’s criticisms reek of hypocrisy. Her own work at The Wire is notorious for its anti-Modi slant and frequent vilification of Hindus. The Wire, under her pen, has churned out countless hit pieces that push a divisive narrative. Arfa Aunty unabashedly targets the BJP, RSS, and anything remotely associated with a pro-India stance.
Arfa Khanum mocked "Vision 2047" which is to make India a developed country by 2047.
She specifically chose this pic and replaced the Shivling by a dustbin.

Yet here she is, bemoaning the loss of journalistic integrity, while herself being knee-deep in ideological warfare.
Arfa Throws Ravish Kumar & Co. Under The Bus
By condemning these YouTubers, Arfa Khanum Sherwani has effectively thrown some of the biggest anti-establishment names under the bus. Ravish Kumar, Abhisar Sharma, and Ajit Anjum have built their careers on being staunch opposition voices. Usually, they are often aligned with the same narratives that Arfa herself promotes.
Now, suddenly for Arfa, these figures are no longer journalists, but mere propagandists chasing eyeballs.
Arfa's @khanumarfa Views on Hindu, Hindustan and Kashmir is straight from ISI's thousand cut strategy – It's so Radical Bigoted & senseless that even Satyapal Malik had to shut her downpic.twitter.com/RwkBhdaGgB

It’s almost comical to watch Arfa criticize the very people who echo her own sentiments. She implies that they’ve sold out for popularity, yet one has to wonder: when did she not? Her own journalism is riddled with the same bias, favoring Deep State ideologies at the cost of fairness, facts, or justice. The irony here is that she accuses others of doing precisely what she’s guilty of – pushing a one-sided narrative under the guise of journalism.
Hypocrisy of Journalism = Arfa Khanum Sherwani!

Arfa Khanum Sherwani’s critique of her colleagues would be laughable if it weren’t so blatantly hypocritical. For years, her journalistic contributions to The Wire have been little more than an endless cycle of Modi-bashing, Hinduphobia, and the promotion of left-wing, anti-India ideologies. She, too, is a blatant propagandist! However, she does it with a more polished vocabulary and a larger platform.
There is no difference between the ones Arfa Aunty is attacking and herself – only she doesn’t admit it!

At the outset, the John S. Knight (JSK) Journalism Fellowship is known to be a:
* Prestigious program hosted by Stanford University
* Designed to support journalists from around the world in honing their skills and exploring innovative approaches to journalism. pic.twitter.com/sZuihaxu6o— Radical Watch (@RadicalWatchOrg) September 13, 2024
What’s even more amusing is that Arfa, while attacking her colleagues, fails to address her own soft landing. Currently, she’s in the UK, on a scholarship linked to the Deep State-backed JSK Stanford fellowship program. Her criticisms of “propagandists” come from someone enjoying the benefits of international grants just for assaulting Indian values and leadership at the behest of her master! One can’t help but question: is the critique of her ecosystem a reflection of dwindling relevance or just a poorly executed PR move?
Arfa’s Self-Serving Narrative?
Great philosopher @arifmohamedk exposes Arfa Khanum ’s hypocrisy in her silence on her own community’s Islamic clerics but willingness to attack Hindus.

Certain netizens believe that Arfa’s latest stance seems like a desperate attempt to boost her own viewership! While others think it’s a way to distance herself from the shrinking credibility of the anti-Modi ecosystem. As YouTubers like Ravish Kumar and Abhisar Sharma continue to peddle the same rhetoric, it seems Arfa wants to reposition herself as a “true journalist” in contrast to her now “lesser” peers. But in doing so, she exposes the hollow nature of her own work.
While Arfa Khanum Sherwani cries about journalistic integrity, she remains one of the biggest mouthpieces for the very biases she criticizes. Her attacks on others for chasing views and sensationalism are a mirror reflecting her own career, built on a foundation of Modi hate and anti-Hindu propaganda.
In the end, Arfa Khanum Sherwani’s critique of her colleagues isn’t a brave stance on integrity. Contrarily, it’s a desperate move to salvage her own reputation in an ecosystem that’s finally being recognized for what it is – Pure Propaganda!!!
