Evidence (2011-11-11): Abhinav Joshi† Romit Mohanty† Mounika Kanakanti¶22footnotemark: 2 Andesha Mangla⋆ Sudeep Choudhary⋄ Monali Barbate⋄ Ashutosh Modi† †IIT Kanpur ¶Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics ⋆ISLRTC ⋄Microsoft IDC India {ajoshi, ashutoshm}@cse.iitk.ac.in 1 Introduction As per the WHO estimate, about 63 million people belong to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) community in India WHO (2016); Varshney (2016). Consequently, Indian Sign Language (ISL) is widely used in the Indian subcontinent. Moreover, according to Ethnologue (2022) (a reference publication documenting information about living languages of the world), ISL is the world’s most widely used sign language. However, there is a considerable deficit of sign language interpreters, e.g., according to the Government of India organization Indian Sign Language Research and Training Center (ISLRTC) (https://islrtc.nic.in/), there are only 300 certified sign language interpreters in India. NLP technologies can help in this case. [...] We would like to thank anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments. We would like to thank the Indian Sign Language Research And Training Center (ILSRTC) team for helping us validate the quality of the curated translation dataset. We would also like to extend our immense gratitude towards the ISLRTC members for providing us full support in sharing the ISL content creation process. Finally, we thank the ISL content creators on YouTube (ISH-TV and DEF), who gave us permission to use the videos and thus made this work possible.

Claim: Walmart is offering unique gift bags to celebrate its 51st anniversary (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-02-03)
Evidence (2023-02-09): A post is being shared on social media claiming that US multinational retail corporation Walmart is offering unique gift bags to people to celebrate its 51st anniversary. This post asks users to write ‘Done’ in the comment section to grab the unique gift bag from Walmart. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] The first Walmart store was opened on 02 July 1962, in Arkansas state of the United States of America. Walmart completed its 60th anniversary in 2022 itself. Walmart will complete its 61st anniversary in July 2023. So, the claims about Walmart now providing gifts for its 51st anniversary are completely baseless. Walmart on their official website warned people about social media scams offering gift cards and other offers in the name of Walmart. In 2021, when similar anniversary giveaway posts were attributed to Walmart on social media, a Walmart spokesperson issued a clarification to Reuters stating that the pages and posts offering gift cards for its 60th anniversary are all false. Further, the Walmart spokesperson said, "Our digital team is working on getting this page and false information down as soon as possible".

Moreover, the university could not furnish any document relating to the lease agreement executed in 1943," Sen’s lawyer Gorachand Chakraborty said.

Evidence (2023-07-07): The Santiniketan-based Visva-Bharati has issued a press release criticising — without naming him — Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, whom the university accuses of being in illegal possession of its land. [...] "Visva-Bharati doesn’t insult anyone nor has the intention to do so, but if someone thinks because he is a renowned academician he can grab land belonging to Visva-Bharati, then the administration would not hesitate to take legal action even if the person enjoys the support of sycophants. Since the matter is sub judice, the Visva-Bharati would not comment on the [land matter] right now...but it objects to the comments made by the migrant traveller on the current situation in Visva-Bharati," the press release in Bengali, signed by the public relations officer (PRO), said. [...] "We strongly condemn the highly objectionable press release issued by the PRO, which is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. It contains derogatory, defamatory content and even includes threats of life to students and teachers, which we are seeking legal counsel on. It accuses Professor Sen, without explicitly naming him, of land grabbing while mentioning at the same time that the matter was sub-judice," Sudipta Bhattacharyya, president of the Visva-Bharati University Faculty Association, said.

Evidence (2023-06-02): Won't Restrain From Reclaiming Land Held By Amartya Sen: Visva-Bharati. (FILE) Kolkata: Visva-Bharati Vice-chancellor Bidyut Chakraborty has said that the university will not restrain itself from taking legally endorsed steps to reclaim land held "illegally" by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen in its Santiniketan campus. [...] Encroachment of land cannot be supported and the law must be uniform for everyone. But unfortunately in West Bengal "the self-proclaimed moral custodians of Bangaliana (Bengaliness)" tend to give privilege to an individual at the cost of a great institution like Visva-Bharati, the vice-chancellor commented in the letter posted in the unversity's website. The VC said it was said that the university's charge is invalid since the papers claiming that Professor Sen is the legal owner of the land in question were given to him by the West Bengal chief minister. "I have my reservation about this kind of logic".

[...] Stating that the Visva-Bharati authorities had never complained to him or his family about any irregularity in holding the land, Mr Sen has accused the VC of acting at the behest of the Centre "with its growing control over Bengal".

Evidence (2023-01-27): Amidst the ongoing controversy at Visva Bharati University where the University had accused Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen of land grab, Professor Sen on Thursday said that he was surprised at the mind-set of the authorities of the Central University. [...] "The allegation of unauthorised occupation of the land of Visva-Bharati made by Bidyut Chakraborty, Vice-Chancellor, Visva-Bharati, against Amartya Sen is evidently false," Kausik Bhattacharya, Secretary, VBUFA said in a statement on Thursday. [...] Baseless and with ill-will "Hence, it is impossible for Sen to illegally occupy any land of Visva-Bharati. Moreover, the allegation has been made without any evidence implying ill motive," he added.

"I am the holder of the land, and it was passed on to me after the death of my parents, Ashutosh Sen and Amita Sen. They also purchased other land in close proximity to the leased land."
