A lazy afternoon spent in front of the 'idiot box'[with sincere apologies to the revered Lord श्री TRP(read:Television Rating Point)] would essentially seem harmless to anyone, barring the few dangerous radiations. Hardly would anyone imagine that a person/agency thousands of miles away is actually training its guns against us and trying to mutilate our mentalities and psyche, and eventually succeeding in it! Such malicious and ulterior propaganda have sneaked into our lives, which go today under the name of "psychological warfare", or psy-wars, which was the theme of the documentary screened by the IISc "Concern" group on June 6.
The entire 100-minute documentary was a real eye-opener, though in an American context, as we waded through the glimpses of dramatic incidents in world history including some devastating warfares, which were orchestrated by some powerful and influential unscrupulous elements, triggering bouts of severe massacre and drudgery, ultimately toying with public sentiments and psychologically tampering them. The experience indeed was an unsettling one and impinged upon us the dire need and responsibility of cultivating and spreading awareness in the right vein, ensuring "psychological" safety in our society, along with other safeties.
