Quietly seeding reels on my dad’s phone so he eventually stop worshipping Modi & Ethanol

TellDelhi

Just like how my dad used to make me take medicines as a kid by telling me it was Frooti (for my own good) I’m returning the favour. I quietly take his phone, unfollow a few of his usual pages like Jaipur Dialogue etc, and follow accounts that post hilarious jokes mixed with critical content on govt for water logging, medical issues, roads, govt policies, women & trans rights, GMO seeds, safety (not the usual famous people but lesser known). The idea is that when he comes across posts about ethanol and other issues, he might actually start questioning government policies instead of staying completely blind to everything. The other day I actually heard him watching one of those reels and he was smiling on something Puneet Star said. Small progress.
Hoping this slowly makes him at least a little more critical of the government instead of blindly worshipping it.
Sorry dad, but I have to do this. Every time I try telling you what’s actually happening, I just get scolded with “Congress ne kya kiya, Modi hai to mumkin hai.”
