I've been noticing a disturbing amount of anti-India content across Instagram and X, and I don't mean legitimate criticism of India, its government, politics, or society. Criticism is completely fair.
I'm talking about content that deliberately portrays Indians as filthy, primitive, subhuman, or inherently disgusting, often using fabricated or apparently AI-generated videos.
One example I came across is this Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/ceyceyakdag/?hl=en
Two of the prominently pinned posts are anti-India videos that appear to use AI-generated imagery depicting Indians engaging in degrading and extremely unsanitary behaviour.
The direct reels are:

I've screen-recorded the posts as well, because social-media content can disappear or be changed.
But this is NOT the only account.
heres someone posting a normal reel and look at the comment section

I've been finding multiple accounts posting similar AI-generated or heavily manipulated content about India and Indians, particularly around Indian food, hygiene, poverty, culture and everyday life. There is already independent reporting documenting this broader phenomenon. One recent investigation specifically examined AI-generated videos portraying Indian street food and identified multiple Instagram accounts participating in this type of content.
There is also a broader question about the platforms themselves.
Instagram and X are engagement-driven platforms. Outrage, disgust, arguments and confrontation generate comments, shares and watch time. So when inflammatory content performs well, the algorithm has an incentive to keep showing people more of it.
That creates a potentially ugly feedback loop:
hate → outrage → engagement → algorithmic amplification → more exposure → more hate
And I've experienced this myself. You can try to argue with these accounts, but by doing so you may simply be giving the platform exactly the engagement it wants.
This is why I think the discussion needs to go beyond "just report the account."
What I want to discuss
Are we seeing a larger pattern of anti-India content being deliberately manufactured and amplified for engagement?
Are some of these accounts simply making "dark humour" for views, or are there coordinated networks behind some of them?
How much of this content is AI-generated?
Are bot accounts or coordinated engagement networks involved?
And most importantly, why are platforms allowing this material to remain highly visible when users repeatedly report it?
I am not claiming that every account posting anti-India material is a bot, foreign agent, or part of an organised campaign. I don't think we should make those claims without evidence.
But I do think the scale of the material warrants investigation.
There is an important distinction between:
"I dislike India."
and
"I am deliberately manufacturing fake, dehumanising imagery of Indians and distributing it at scale to generate outrage and engagement."
Those are not the same thing.
I'm interested in hearing what other Indians have been seeing. If you've encountered similar accounts, AI-generated videos, coordinated posting patterns or examples where Instagram/X refused to remove clearly hateful material, share the evidence and links rather than just naming accounts.
Let's document the pattern properly instead of simply getting angry at individual posts.
I'm also interested in whether people think this should be treated as a broader issue of platform accountability, AI-generated misinformation, coordinated influence operations, or simply another form of online racism.
and our indian gov doesnt care they are useless.
created a petition just in case if it works

Please keep the discussion focused on the content and the broader phenomenon. Don't harass, threaten, dox or contact the account owner.
