"Post Truth" has choosen as the word of the year in 2016 by Oxford Dictionary. According to Oxford dictionary Post Truth means, " relating to or denoting circumstancee in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief."
We have asked to write our understanding of Post Truth. As per my understanding post-truth is simply means remaking of truth. It is something that powerfull people make for their comfort zone and, its presentation is so powerfull that society starts believing it as truth. It has very strong effect that people don't feel need to question it. Post-truth mainly can be found in politics or in name of religion or nation, where they atteck on people's emotion and make them emotional fool.
If we take example of movie "PK", the Baba defines pk's remote control as the broken stone of lord shiva's weapon just for publicity and money. He plays with people's faith. Same thing heppens in movie "Oh My God", when Paresh Raval is in comma, all saints making viral the roumor that Paresh Raval is god's Avatar. Only for making money and these all things heppen in name of god, that is the reason people don't question it and starts believing it blindly.
While in play "Othello" by Shakespeare, Othello kills Desdemona because Iago constatntly attck on Othello's mind that Desdemona have affair with Casio on the contarary Othello knows very well that Desdemona and Casio are best friends even he forget that Casio is the one who delivers their messages. Othello never have doubt on Desdemona untill Iago plant a seed in his brain and make some post-truth and make Othello believes that Desdemona cheating on him and he kills her wife and Iago does all these things for his personal revenge.
If we give comman man two choise either he live and make country proud or he commit suicide or kill other innocent people for country or religion, a comman man normally choose the first one but terrorists are ready to die and kill other people in the name of religion or country. They missuse people's feeling for nation or religion and make any person ready to commit suicide, they constantly hammaring on brain or repetation of some words which make people stop thinking logically and they become ready to kill innocent people and commit suicide.
Thank you.
