Did you know that the Germans dropped leaflets among the Indian soldiers in WWI to tell them they were fighting on the wrong side? An exhibition in London records this and other attempts at propaganda.
Anti and pro-British publicity used during the Indian Independence movement and the British Raj form part of a new exhibition in London that examines propaganda from across the world.

Propaganda: Power and Persuasion is the first show to explore international state propaganda from the 20th and 21st centuries. Examples of rallying support for a war, creating a common enemy and fighting disease through different forms like pamphlets, leaflet drops tweets feature in the exhibition at the British Library.
More than 200 exhibits from virtually every continent of the world are shown, including banknotes, posters, stamps, badges, cartoons, films, music and games.
