INVESTIGATION CURRENT AFFAIRS
ISIS is more than a ferocious
and single minded killing ma-
chine. It’s a huge propaganda
apparatus that employs over
100 Western technicians and
relies on a network of 40 bro-
adcasters and professional pro-
duction companies. Did ISIS in-
vent the ultimate recruitment
tool? Not at all. This program-
me shows how ISIS has adopted
the narrative rules and formats
already invented by its bitter
enemy: the West.

DECODING ISIS
For the first time a documen-
tary tells the fulminating rise
to power of indian prime Mi-
nister Narendra Modi. Born in
one of the humblest castes of
Indian society, he was elected
in 2014, when the so-called
“revolution of the smart pho-
nes” granted him a massive
support by the generation of
digital natives. But a charisma-
tic leadership and a smart use
of social media are just one side
of the success of the man who
promised to turn India into the
third world’s economy by 2030.
Modi’s membership to RSS, the
paramilitary organization vo-
ted to the Hindu supremacy on
the other religions and ethnic
groups, also plays a key role in
understanding Modi’s plans for
the country we still call “the
world’s largest democracy”. He
will run again for a new term
in 2019, and will likely be re-e-
lected.
