This pro-China transnational network helmed by Neville Roy Singham comprises non-profits, activist groups, think tanks, and media outlets, operating as the propaganda machinery of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Several Roy Singham-funded organisations are consistently pushing anti-India and pro-China narratives in India.

The Fox News reportage suggests that Vijay Prashad of TriContinental, a Massachusetts-based think tank, is quite an influential figure in the House of Singham network. OpIndia has previously reported on Vijay Prashad, TriContinental, and NewsClick’s anti-India shenanigans.

In an opinion piece titled, "Who Owns the Ganga? A River of Many Faiths, Not One", a Delhi-based writer, translator and researcher, Rakhshanda Jalil, offers family memories, Urdu poetry, and a dash of melodrama to establish a narrative that Ganga is a ‘secular’ river not owned only by Hindus.

The op-ed titled, “In Delhi's Uttam Nagar, Hate is Free, But Muslim Safety Isn't,” 2020 Delhi Riots accused professor Apoorvanand peddled the Muslim victimhood bogey, even as it is a Hindu family that has lost its son to a Muslim mob instigated by a Muslim woman who could not tolerate Holi colours splashed over her mistakenly.

Similar to other mainstream media that acts as a spokesperson for jihadis to whitewash their atrocious conduct, The Indian Express also shifted the blame for the unrest onto Hindus rather than those who truly unleashed terror on the streets.

The Laura Loomer controversy at the India Today Conclave increasingly looks less like spontaneous journalism and more like a carefully staged spectacle that conveniently shifted attention away from the original question: why she was invited in the first place.
