Evidence (2017-12-27): Launched in March 2016, the Setu Bharatam programme aims to make all national highways free of railway level crossings by 2019. It involves the construction of 208 road overbridges (RoBs) and road underbridges (RuBs) across 19 states at a cost of Rs 208 billion. In addition, about 1,500 old bridges will be replaced or improved by widening in a phased manner at a cost of about Rs 300 billion. The need for the Setu Bharatam programme arose from the high risk posed by level crossings for Indian Railways, resulting in loss of life and property, limiting the line capacity of tracks, and increasing the operations and maintenance cost. Further, around 5 per cent of the trains are delayed on account of the presence of level crossings. Earlier, in 2012, the High-Level Safety Review Committee appointed by the Ministry of Railways (MoR) had strongly recommended the elimination of all level crossings, both manned and unmanned, over a period of five years. The committee was of the belief that the amount thus spent would be recovered within seven to eight years through savings in maintenance costs and improved train operations. [...] The successful implementation of Setu Bharatam requires a streamlined decision making process and an efficient project management system. The programme will address the safety concerns arising from the presence of level crossings in the country and thereby eliminate the loss of life and property resulting from the same. It will also pave the way for reduction in maintenance costs and bring about efficiency in railway operations.

Claim: British authorities denied Savarkar the barrister degree and law practice, because Savarkar refused to take the oath of allegiance/loyalty to the British Empire (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-28)
Evidence (2023-05-28): Savarkar was denied admission to the bar at Gray’s Inn because of his involvement in political activities. Historical documents endorsed the same view. Biographies of Savarkar also mentioned it is his involvement in political activities cost him admission to the bar. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
Claim: British authorities denied Savarkar the barrister degree and law practice, because Savarkar refused to take the oath of allegiance/loyalty to the British Empire (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-28)
Evidence (2018-05-18): Savarkar's benefactor Krishnavarma himself was interested in the independence movement and readily gave the scholarship to Savarkar. He sailed for London in 1906, intending to study law. While in London, he set about recruiting Indian students who were studying abroad and established the Free India Society to organize students for the revolutionary movement. Back home, the Abhinava Bharat was in contact with revolutionary leaders from Russia, Ireland, Egypt and China. Savarkar envisioned the groups forming a large anti–British front, with each group revolting concurrently against the British empire. Savarkar urged the Abhinava Bharat to prepare for war by arming themselves. They smuggled pistols, hidden in false books, into India. Savarkar even went so far as to send some of his peers to study bomb–making. Though Savarkar successfully completed his studies and passed England's barrister examination, he had trouble getting his law degree because of his anti–government activities. Administrators told Savarkar he could have his degree on one condition: that he sign a paper saying he would refrain from participating in politics. He, of course, refused.
Claim: British authorities denied Savarkar the barrister degree and law practice, because Savarkar refused to take the oath of allegiance/loyalty to the British Empire (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-28)
Evidence (2017-05-28): Savarkar was arrested by Scotland Yard on March 13, 1910 from London’s Victoria Station and sent to Brixton jail. He was charged with sedition and with supplying the Brownings pistols that were used to assassinate Nashik collector AT Jackson. Savarkar wanted to be tried in England instead of being taken to India, but after failing in his attempts (the case went up to the highest court), he was set to be taken to India under the Fugitive Offenders Act. [...] The British government was flummoxed by the Savarkar affair. Senior officials of the foreign office, home office and India office seemed divided on what course Britain should adopt. Winston Churchill, the home secretary, noted: "Nothing is of greater consequence in this case than that Great Britain should maintain an attitude of dignity and of dispassionate submission to the law of nations. The petty annoyance of a criminal escaping may have to be borne." The British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, said he would like "to be able to do what the French government asked". The India office, of course, wanted Savarkar’s trial to go ahead and maintained that as the case was before the court, the executive could not interfere with the proceedings. [...] The liberals in Britain, including retired officers such as Sir Henry Cotton, and Communists such as Guy Aldred, hoped that Savarkar would be handed over to France by the Hague Tribunal, which would vindicate the right of international asylum.
