Here is my interpretation on post-truth “

                          According to oxford dictionary the term post-truth was first used in a 1992 essay by the late, Serbian-American playwright Steve tesich in the nation. The same year American journalist Eric alter man spoke of a "post-truth political environment" and coined the term "the post-truth presidency" in his analysis, of the misleading statements made by the brush administration. After In his 2004 book Post-democracy.

                      The use of Post-truth is more in politics, those who speak elsewhere do some else. For example, when the time has come to Election in the country, the politics people begin speaking. When our government will come in the country, then there will be lot of benefits in the country, more convenience, everyone will change the way to live. When it is not in reality, after the Election is completed in the country something becomes different, when he spoke he was not the same. All this is publicity only or propaganda.
Politics and truth cannot go well together. Political leaders always convince us through their cob-web of lies.

                     And the people emotionally drown by their speeches. People are merely puppet in the hands of politician. 
Truth can be created by repetition of lies for example in TV advertising one ad repeated constantly, so people are convinced that this is true, though it is not true. Another can say how much advertising comes when we watch TV but it’s actually advertising it’s not truth reality it’s kind of propaganda.
So what really is the problem between politics and truth today? Is truth really anathema to politics? Perhaps politics has nothing to do with truth. The main purpose of politics seems to be only to convince others. 
Our fight gets out of control because we make it a fight about two opposite truths and not about two opposite opinion.

Thank You……!!!
