Inside the Greta Thunberg files: Toolkit for an anti-India conspiracy

The now-deleted Greta Thunberg Files, which offer a training manual of sorts to those keen on targeting the Indian government internationally, has cast a spotlight on a sinister ploy to defame India using the farmer protests.

The now-deleted Greta Thunberg Files, which offer a training manual of sorts to those keen on targeting the Indian government internationally, has cast a spotlight on a sinister ploy to defame India using the farmer protests.
 

The eight-page document, which was inadvertently shared by the climate change activist on Twitter, gave a user manual of sorts to sustain the campaign against the Indian government abroad while using the protests by farmers in the outskirts of New Delhi as a pretext.
 

A deep dive into the document reveals that pre-fabricated templates were offered to people to Tweet on the farmers' protest regardless of whether they knew about the reasons or rationale behind the agitation.

Take for instance the Tweet by American pop star Rihanna. 
 

The tweet with the tag line "Why are we not talking about this?" comes with a CNN article on the Republic Day clashes embedded in the post. All that a "celebrity / Influential person" needs to do is to put their name behind the post.
 

Among those who seem to have used the template is the Congress party whose Kerala women's unit handle sounds word to word similar to the tweets from the Google Drive.
 

Then again, while the manual talks at length about forcing the Indian administration to repeal the controversial farm laws, it is suspiciously silent on the road ahead if and when the laws were to be junked.
 

Instead, it shifts focus upon defaming India and its government on issues like the persecution of government critics, harassment of independent journalists and oppression of citizens in favour of corporates.

By now, it is crystal clear that on Republic Day farmers were instigated by some vested interests to break through barriers and lay siege on the historic Red Fort. 
 

January 26 also witnessed coordinated protests and acts of vandalism near Indian missions abroad. The active involvement of pro-Khalistani elements in these acts of vandalism is no secret either.
 

But the nine-page "toolkit" (as Greta Thunberg called it) confirmed a larger conspiracy.
 

Among the many hyperlinks embedded in the toolkit is a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation made by the Poetic Justice Foundation, which is co-founded by self-professed Khalistan supporter Mo Dhaliwal. 
 

The agenda listed in the presentation includes exposing the "fascist responses to dissent" and "disrupting the yoga and 'chai' image of India in general". 

With the January 26 plan being executed, the next major date earmarked is February 13-14 when the next phase of the operation will play out. On that day, the Greta Thunberg and co-conspirators have sought on-ground actions near Indian Embassies, media houses and local government offices.
 

This conspiracy has already been set into motion with a two-day Twitter storm starting today. 
 

They claimed to stand for "India's farmers and other citizens". But in the process, they chose to digress and project India as a nation that is "retreating from democracy, regressing hard by rushing headlong into fascism". 
 

The toolkit noted that "international focus on the farmer protests may be the only thing preventing more state-sponsored violence and another massacre/genocide in India".
 

Hours after being exposed, the 'toolkit' has been re-edited and toned down in rhetoric. But the conspiracy has well and truly been exposed.
