Through this paper the researchers have tried to inspect how the propagation of fake news has upset the public sphere and potential arrangements that can be executed to check the plague of fake news in context of India and Indonesia, the prime democracies. There is boisterous discussion on fake news being utilized to create a rosy impression of the politicians in the minds of citizens. Therefore, the researcher shall also cover this aspect by analyzing how fake news has affected elections and how it was used as a tool of mass deception respectively. Finally, it attempts to analyze various strategic initiatives taken by both the nations, and the potential measures which could be adopted to limit the progression of fake news.
