Claim: The song “Mere Angane Mein” was originally from a 19th-century movie called ‘Miss Sheela’ (1883) (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-04-24)
Evidence (2022-12-29): Recommended Stories 1981’s Laawaris starring Amitabh Bachchan , Zeenat Aman, and Amjad Khan was declared a super hit at the box office. The Prakash Mehera-helmed movie earned wide appreciation and was among the highest-grossing movies at the time. Above everything, the movie won the hearts of movie lovers for its iconic song ‘Mere Angne Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai’, voiced by Amitabh Bachchan . [...] During an event, Anup while playing the harmonium said, "A song went on to become widely popular, ‘Arey Mere Angne Mein’. In this song, everyone has heard everything, Jiski Biwi Lambi, Jiski Biwi Moti....I will present a new line." [...] Till date, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has lent his baritone voice to several songs which went on to become iconic and are still loved by all. But, 'Mere Angne Mein' has a different fan base.
Claim: The song “Mere Angane Mein” was originally from a 19th-century movie called ‘Miss Sheela’ (1883) (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-04-24)
Evidence (2023-05-01): A post circulating on social media claims that the popular Bollywood song "Mere Angane Mein" was originally from a 19th-century movie called ‘Miss Sheela’ (1883) and that Bollywood has been blatantly copying without giving credit to the original creator. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: There is no evidence of a movie by the name "Miss Sheela" released in 1883. Considering that the first Indian talkie film, "Alam Ara," was released in 1931, and the patent for the gramophone was only granted in 1887, with the first-ever Indian recording taking place in 1902, it is highly implausible that a film called ‘Miss Sheela’ was released in 1883 with songs recorded on gramophone records. Furthermore, the song "Mere Angane Mein," which has been featured in several Bollywood films, is actually a traditional folk song from Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the claim made in the post is FALSE. [...] In conclusion, "Mere Angane Mein" was inspired by a traditional folk song, and there is no evidence to support the claim that it was copied from a purported 1883 film by the name ‘Miss Sheela’.

Evidence (2019-04-11): The tweet is fake. Prashant Kishor has himself tweeted saying that the post is fake. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Evidence (2021-03-29): Twenty-somethings sit glued to their laptops- most at their desk, some on bean bags overlooking the Chennai skyline - in the 11th floor office of a co-working space in the heart of the city. Music blares from one corner of the large office set-up. This isn’t your average start-up. These youngsters are cogs in the machine that is the Indian Political Action Committee. I-PAC, a political consultancy group founded by Prashant Kishor, has received a large chunk of the credit for election victories of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, and thereafter Nitish Kumar in Bihar, Captain Amarinder Singh in Punjab, Jagan Mohan Reddy in Andhra Pradesh and Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi. Ahead of the 2021 Assembly elections, the team is now managing the election strategy of the DMK in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Evidence (2020-02-04): Kishor, in many ways, is an enigma — has no mass base, no real power, does not have a perfect track record and yet, remains powerful, relevant and in-demand. This is an art he has mastered. Essentially, like any good salesman, Prashant Kishor needs a solid product to sell — Narendra Modi, Amarinder Singh, Jagan Mohan Reddy. But he is far from the magician he is made out to be or models himself to be, and cannot turn weak sides into stronger ones. [...] Prashant Kishor has delivered several impressive results — from Modi in 2014, the mahagathbandhan in Bihar in 2015 to Amarinder Singh in 2017 and Jagan Reddy in 2019 — and yet, the question to be asked is whether these successes can be attributed to the poll strategist, given the instances where his ‘magic’ hasn’t quite worked. [...] Prashant Kishor knows the importance and art of branding, and of aggressively peddling that brand, substance or not — including his own. Moreover, this is a revolutionary concept for Indian politics, where ‘party loyalty’ is all-important and those switching sides are seen as part of the Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram syndrome.

Evidence (2024-07-29): Prashant Kishor clarified on Monday that he will not be seeking any post within the party once his Jan Suraaj campaign transforms into a full-fledged political party on October 2. [...] Prashant Kishor, a former election strategist who has ventured into politics, will be launching a new political party on October 2, which marks the 155th birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The party will emerge from Kishor's Jan Suraaj Abhiyan, which has been primarily active in the state of Bihar. In preparation for the party's formation, Kishor has scheduled eight state-level meetings with over 1.5 lakh officials associated with the campaign. These meetings will serve as a platform to discuss and decide on various aspects of the party, including its leadership structure, constitution, and key priorities. The details were shared by Prashant Kishor's organisation in a press brief.

Evidence (2021-07-25): Prashant Kishor: How to win elections and influence people Prashant Kishore is not an ordinary political consultant. [...] Mr Kishor has successfully advised politicians of all hues - from BJP's Narendra Modi in his sprint to power in 2014 to arch-rival Mamata Banerjee of regional Trinamul Congress party in her sensational third-term win in May against a resurgent BJP. His supporters call Mr Kishor a man with a Midas touch; his critics say he chooses his clients carefully, based on their chances of winning.

Evidence (2024-02-22): Kishor is stopping in villages and towns, holding mini rallies on the way and holding conversations with various kinds of groups, panchayat members and mukhiyas. [...] Admittedly, Kishor wants to provide background support to that political party. This seems to be an attempt to mask his ambition, which, at least in the medium to long term, is to lead a party in Bihar with a sizeable chunk of votes. [...] One party which he didn’t seem to be too critical of is Congress. This, however, should not be a surprise given it was only some time ago that he was considering to work with the Congress and help the party revive its political fortunes. During his interview with India Today in December 2023, Kishor termed Congress as closest to his ideological inclination and didn’t deny the prospects of working with the party.

Evidence (2022-04-30): Prashant Kishor: Why India's top political strategist didn't join Congress - Published Prashant Kishor, India's top political consultant, has told BBC Hindi that he didn't join the country's main opposition Congress party due to a disagreement over the implementation of a revival plan proposed by him. [...] Mr Kishor fell out with the BJP and then went on to help several opposition parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Trinamool Congress, win state elections.

Evidence (2024-10-02): Kishor also named Manoj Bharti, a Madhubani-born former Indian Foreign Service Officer, as working president of the party, saying the latter will hold the post till March next year when organisational polls will be held. [...] The party was floated exactly two years after Kishor had embarked on a more than 3,000-km-long 'padayatra' of the state, from Champaran where Mahatma Gandhi had launched the first Satyagraha in the country, in a bid to mobilise the people for a "new political alternative" that could cure Bihar of its chronic backwardness. [...] Kishor said he was not intent on directly managing the party as he was more interested in carrying forward the Jan Suraaj campaign as part of which he has travelled "half of the state".

Evidence (2022-05-06): Prashant Kishor does not like to be referred to as a political consultant or an election strategist. Not any more. Exactly a year since he left the consultancy space, Kishor has announced that he is returning to his roots by launching an initiative called Jan Suraaj (people’s good governance). [...] What makes him special, according to I-PAC members who worked with him, is his ability to analyse statistics and survey results. He also introduced a more focused approach to electioneering and greater efficiency in the usage of resources. "Earlier, the pamphlets would be boring, with a lot of text and poor-quality images," said an I-PAC member. "He changed that to bring in simple, precise messaging and the use of only one leader’s picture." [...] It is not just within the Congress that Kishor has his detractors. There are also those who say that he has either been plain lucky or smart enough to hitch his cart to the winning horse—leaders he worked with were anyway expected to win.

Evidence (2019-04-11): A post is being shared on Facebook claiming that Prashant Kishor (Poll Strategist for YSRCP) has tweeted against Y.S. Jagan, the head of YSRCP, on the election day. Let’s try to analyze the claim made in the post. [...] When looked for this tweet on his Twitter account, it is found that Prashant Kishor has himself tweeted on this issue saying: ".@ncbn when you lose trust of the people and your faith in their wisdom, after abuses and lies, you stoop down to circulating fake news. Few hours left for the polling to close but it’s clear that people of AP have decided their verdict. It is time to say #ByeByeBabu". Also, before Kishor has tweeted the above tweet on his account, FACTLY has contacted IPAC’s Digital Media Head Mr. Brahma, who has clarified that the tweet is fake and is a cheap trick coming from the opposition parties on the election day. So, the post claiming that Prashant Kishor has tweeted against Jagan is FALSE. Finally, it’s a fake tweet. Prashant Kishor has not tweeted against Y.S. Jagan.

Claim: Acid attack victims have been included in the list of people considered as disabled. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-09-04): The number of recognized disability conditions has been increased from 7 to 21 in the RPWD Act 2016. The new list of recognized disabilities include three blood disorders and acid attack survivors have also been included in the list. [...] - Locomotor Disability - Dwarfism - Intellectual Disability - Mental Illness - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Cerebral Palsy - Muscular Dystrophy - Chronic Neurological conditions - Specific Learning Disabilities - Multiple Sclerosis - Speech and Language disability - Thalassemia - Hemophilia - Sickle Cell disease - Multiple Disabilities including deaf-blindness - Acid Attack victim - Parkinson’s disease
Claim: Acid attack victims have been included in the list of people considered as disabled. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2017-01-29): For these victims, the road to recovery, physical and mental, is long and rocky. Victims can suffer extensive facial and body disfigurement, lose their sight and experience severe depression and anxiety, fearing others will shun their scarred appearance. Yet acid attacks survivors are finding the courage to reclaim their lives — and seeking to raise public awareness and help stop future attacks. Their strategies include taking to the fashion runway, sharing their experiences in comic books and appearing in video resumes that show potential employers they are far more than their scars. [...] Acid attack survivors have also, in the past months, become fashion models as well as role models, walking the runways in New York and London. At New York's Fashion Week, FTL Moda's runway show featured 19-year-old Reshma Bano Qureshi, whose path to the runway began two years ago with near tragedy.
Claim: Acid attack victims have been included in the list of people considered as disabled. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2016-03-10): When the wounds from an acid burn heal, they form thick scars that pull the skin tight and cause disfigurement. In 90 percent of cases, the eyesight of the victim is adversely affected, causing blindness. And then there is the psychological trauma. With a high survival rate among victims, acid attacks are rarely carried out with murder in mind. They are intended to disfigure and mutilate – to condemn the victim to a lifetime of suffering. [...] The Stop Acid Attacks campaign claims that most states don’t have a payment policy in place and that some have no provision for the compensation fund. Out of the dozens of survivors they’ve helped apply, only four have received any payment to date. [...] Beyond their physical scars, survivors of acid attacks often suffer from depression, insomnia, nightmares and anxiety about another attack. Feelings of weakness and tiredness, along with difficulties concentrating and memory loss are other side effects. Often, there is a fear of ridicule from the outside world and a sense of shame and loneliness.

Evidence (2023-10-28): Acid Attack Victim Sonali Mukherjee: An Ordeal That Never Ends Sonali Mukherjee | Acid attack survivor | Photo courtesy: Special arrangement "I might never be able to forget that night in my entire life," Sonali recounts. "My face was also damaged, 70 percent, and my body, face, everything got damaged. The trauma—I had no sense for months, my eyesight was gone." [...] Ritu Saini's story closely parallels the struggles of many acid attack victims. She was attacked at the age of 16-17, and she lost her eyesight due to the severity of the injuries. "I was attacked 12 years ago when I was 16 or 17 years old," says Ritu. "My face started recovering, and my features began to show up, but my eyesight was lost forever. Even now, treatment is ongoing, and it's been almost 12 years."
Claim: Acid attack victims have been included in the list of people considered as disabled. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2019-02-05): Acid attack victims in particular are often in need of compensation immediately following the attack because of medical expenses. Additionally, the attack often causes physical disabilities that may make it impossible to perform the work that the survivor had previously relied on for income. Thong Kham was doused with acid on May 5, 1990, while standing next to an intended target. Nearly 25 years later, on November 4, 2015, she passed away without ever having received any compensation. In 2005, Thong Kham had told the CASC: [...] Acid attack survivors in Cambodia also face cultural stigma that exacerbates the discrimination they face as people with disabilities. Cultural stigma is sometimes exacerbated by beliefs of karma in Buddhist culture. Some survivors describe being ostracized because their appearance is believed to be a result of karma—that they must have done something terrible in their past that they are paying for now. Some survivors also believe this about themselves.[129] [...] - In accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans, and Youth Rehabilitation should ensure that individuals who have acquired disabilities as a result of acid attacks have access to a range of support services in their communities.
