Propaganda in Malayalam
പ്രചാരണം (pracharanam) is propaganda and also plain campaigning, the spreading of a message. In Malayalam it is not automatically a slur: an election campaign and a propaganda drive take the same word.
Most common translation
Propaganda, doing propaganda, spreading sth.
തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പ് പ്രചാരണം തുടങ്ങി.
thiranjeduppu prachaaranam thudangi.
The election campaign has started.
Dictionary entry
- പ്രചാരണം (pracharanam) — Propaganda, doing propaganda, spreading sth.
Because the word is neutral, the disapproval English packs into propaganda has to be added by context or by an adjective; the entry itself only says that something is being spread.

Does the word sound negative?
Not by itself. It covers ordinary campaigning too, so the criticism has to come from the sentence around it.
