Dhruv Rathee, as a truth-twister, weaves a cautionary tale filled with Hitlerโs horrors and Putinโs rumors. In politics, narratives are powerful tools wielded to sway public opinion, shape ideologies, and even alter the course of history. Ratheeโs recent term โFalse Flag Operationsโ is not a new concept nor a unique weapon against a strong ruling government.
Thus, his recent short video and tweet are a wonderful mix of allegations, manipulation, deception, and conspiracy. Letโs unpack how the recent assertions made by Rathee mark him as a member of Congressโ Soros Toolkit Club with an expertise in rumor mongering.
Dhruv Rathee and Allegations Using Echoes of History

Dhruv Ratheeโs tweet on โFalse Flag Operationsโ draws an unwanted parallel between Hitler and Putin. Thereafter, the remark subtly points to PM Modi and the BJP government by implying that they indulge in similar manipulations of public sentiment for political gains.
Drawing from the annals of history, Rathee highlights instances where Nazi authoritarian regimes orchestrated crises in the nation. The unsaid implication is that PM Modi is using Nazi techniques in Bharatโs politics. This is not the first Rathee is equating Nazi Hitler to BJP and PM Modi. However, unlike Hitler who suddenly rose to prominence, PM Modi has a proven work record as a state head and the nationโs โParam Sevakโ!
Therefore, the comparison is meant to plant the subliminal message of โModi = Naziโ in the minds of gullible and uninformed Bharatvasi.
Dhruv Rathee also talks of unconfirmed rumors about Russiaโs Putin, who still manages to hold fair elections during a state of war unlike the Westโs puppet Zelensky. The convoluted impression is that PM Modi is silencing voices and confusing the voters to consolidate power. But using Putin as a negative example is a show of shallow understanding of how Indians view this Russian supremo.
Thus, if PM Modi is found to be similar to Putin, the comparison would be immensely beneficial to the BJP.
Why? Because most Indians like Putin and his decisive measures that ensure Russiaโs unapologetic and sturdy stance against the West-Dominant World!
Debunking Dhruv Rathee โ Unboxing Historical Facts
On Putin
To counter Rathee, it is essential to first debunk the rumors about Putin. The entire so-called โFalse Flag Operationโ in 1999, that Rathee talks about, took the lives of more than 200 Russian civilians. The 1999 bomb blasts in Russia were proven to be orchestrated by Islamist Chechen separatists. The response of Putinโs Russia was the Second Chechen War.
Please note, this was the Second War. That means there was a First Chechan War which began in 1992 and the post-USSR Soviet Army lost. Consequently, the Second Chechan War allowed Russia to reclaim the region and merge it with the nation after the first war. The Second Chechen War was followed by 9 years of insurgency in the region, which ended in 2009. Thus, the Second Chechen War was not conveniently orchestrated to keep Putin in power. There were pre existing undercurrents in the region for the war. However, the West likes to paint Putin in colors of shame to justify their various attempts to limit Russian growth. And โtoolkitโ puppet Rathee uses these Western sources to oversimplify a complicated geo-political situation in Russia.
On Hitler
Now, about Horiible-Genocidal-Hitler and his Reichstag Decree. Till the 1960s even Western historians said that the communist caused the Reichstag fire. Only after the end of Stalinโs USSR and the Cold War, were โdocumentsโ implicating Hitler were recovered. Nonetheless, the consequential 1933 Reichstag Fire Decree took away many civil liberties and placed Germany in the hands of a dictator.
If one looks at Bharat, then Pulwama โ Balakot incidents were also played up as โFalse Flag Operationsโ. Many Congress leaders, including Pappu, continue to ask for proof of Balakotโs military success. Moreover, they imply that PM Modi used Balakot to win the 2019 elections. Despite proof that negates their puffed-up theories, they refuse to believe in Bharatโs defense forces. Instead, they continue to mouth Pakistanโs talking points. However, unlike Hitler and Dhruv Ratheeโs assertions, PM Modi did not silence the media or the public with draconian decrees after winning in 2019. Otherwise, how could a German Shepherd bark comfortably in his green room without consequences every third day?
A โToolkitโ Collision of Politics and Perception
The comparison between Hitlerโs Reichstag fire and Putinโs alleged involvement in 1999 bomb blasts were a WhatsApp-University level attempt at Brainwashing the feeble-minded.
The idea is to implement doubt in the minds of the Indian voters and create two โtoolkitโ approved global narratives.
Firstly, to pay homage to the โtoolkitโ idea of Vladimir Putin as a dictator.
And secondly, to propagate the โtoolkitโ agenda that insinuates PM Modi is Bharatโs Hitler.
The unfair and far-fetched extrapolation of reality shows the lengths Dhruv Rathee can go to convolute facts with fictional narratives. While history offers glimpses of Machiavellian political tactics, Rathee-like โtoolkitโ operators do not differentiate between confirmed facts and speculative conjecture. They use the murky waters of geopolitical intrigue to create a fantasy to confuse Indian voters.
However, Ratheeโs warning should not be taken lightly. He and the entire opposition have been raising the โFalse Flagโ since Ayodhya Ram Mandir Pran Pratishthan. Thus, it is obvious that the entire โtoolkitโ is predicting an attack on Bharat under the BJP regime. But the important question is who will orchestrate the attack and why. The BJP gains nothing by causing panic and loss of lives during an election it predicts to win. But the opposition may use an act of terrorism as a brownie point on lapsed security conditions in BJPโs Bharat. Also, they may use any attack to win a pre-planned โblame gameโ using statements or warnings given by planted pawns like Dhruv Rathee.
In Summary
False flags, political manipulation, and public perception are a complex game of narratives. Voices like Dhruv Rathee, use Hitlerโs truths to defame Putinโs and mar PM Modiโs honor. In the face of such propaganda, it is essential for all of Bharat to uncover the full story behind dialogues or analyses put out in public forums. Only empirical inquiry on the facts by an unbiased mind can filter out the โtoolkitโ causes behind a seemingly innocent warning. The only way to counter such rhetorics is by going out and voting in the majority. Letโs hope, Bharatโs โDemocracy Ka Mahaparvโ sends out a clear message to these โDoubting Thomasesโ who enjoy cheap popularity just by touting convenient versions of the truth and history.
