Democracy Targeted, Regime Changes Forced In South Asia, Who's At Fault? | Is India Targeted? | N18P

When democracies in South Asia begin to wobble, who really pulls the strings? In countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, sudden regime shifts and mass uprisings have raised the alarm: is democracy being targeted, or are external forces engineering change behind the scenes? Recent analysis shows that what once were overt military coups have now evolved into “digital‑regime‑change” operations—hashtag revolts, social‐media campaigns, foreign‑funded NGOs. So where does India stand in this theater of political upheaval? Long viewed as the region’s democratic anchor, India is now confronted with internal fractures and external pressures. Its democratic institutions may be tested—but are they safe? Observers point out that while India avoided the dramatic Uprising wave seen by its neighbours, it still faces a decline in civil liberties, rising majoritarianism and a shrinking space for dissent. #SouthAsia #DemocracyUnderThreat #RegimeChange #IndiaTargeted #DigitalCoup #HashtagRevolt #MediaInfluence #CivilLiberties #PressFreedom #AuthoritarianSlide #YouthUprising #GenZProtests #SriLankaCrisis #BangladeshChange #NepalUprising #IndiaDemocracy #Geopolitics #ForeignInterference #InfluenceOperations #HybridWarfare #InfoWar #SocialMediaRevolt #NGOInfluence #ChinaInSouthAsia n18oc_podcast News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
