Verdict: facts: no evidence to prove that academic certificates were exclusively issued in handwritten format before 1983. there is evidence that the academic certificates were issued in printed format as early as 1920's. the font used in modi's certificate is not old english text mt. the spelling of the word 'university' in the certificate is correct. the letter 'v' in fonts like lincoln text pro closely resembles the letter 'b'. while we couldn't independently verify the authenticity of modi's m.a certificate, the aforementioned claims have been proven false, and they cannot be used as a basis for labelling the certificate as fake. hence the post is misleading.
