The post provides a list of officials in different secretariats, ministries, the Prime Minister’s Office, and the President’s Office, categorizing them to support its claim of Brahmin domination in these offices. The post highlights the prevalence of Brahmins in these positions. Through this article let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: The names and job titles of officers employed in significant government offices like the Prime Minister’s Office, the President’s Office, and various ministries are publicly accessible. However, these disclosures do not provide information regarding their specific categories or classifications. Similar assertions have circulated for years, suggesting that these prominent offices are predominantly controlled by Muslims or Christians, while neglecting Hindus. Nevertheless, these claims lack substantiation and lack a verified source. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE. | 2023-07-18 | False | false | true | refutes |

They set the standard of social conduct and morality due to their leadership in society. Hindu priesthood is dominated by Brahmins, but other castes due in fact have "sacred specialists" but their status does not compare to that of a Brahmin. [...] The two primary roles of the Kshatriya Varna were to govern the land and to wage war, which led to professions as rulers and soldiers. The male children in Kshatriya were considered symbols of masculinity whereas the female child needed to be gentle and well behaved. Like Brahmin and the rest of the Varnas, men and women were not allowed to marry outside their specific Varna. Kshatriyas also hold a high status of power, second only to the Brahmin. They make sure everyone stays within their Varna. | 2015-11-25 | False | false | true | insufficient-supports |

Here is a fact check of this claim. [...] As far as UPA’s last four years in concerned, the prime minister was way off the mark. The UPA constructed 89.65 lakh houses, almost 3.5 times the number of houses claimed by the PM. As far as the current government is concerned and if the houses constructed in the last six months is also taken into account, the figure might be closer to the 1.25 crore houses as mentioned by the PM.

Although this research shows that residential areas are selected by hedgehogs, hedgehogs are also in decline in urban areas (PTES and BHPS 2015) and villages and face a suite of problems which were beyond the scope of this study including the following: poisoning from molluscicides and rodenticides (Keymer et al. 1991; Dowding et al. 2010b), a lack of habitat connectivity due to enclosed gardens (Hof and Bright 2009) and deaths on roads (Huijser and Bergers 2000; Rondinini and Doncaster 2002).

A laudable objective that would resonate with US president Barack Obama’s vision of a pluralist America where Christians and Muslims, Hindus and Jews, and non-believers, live together. It all began as a pilot project last year, to teach the Gita to business students as a ‘signature course’ on a full-time basis. From this year, the Gita has become part of the core curriculum at the SHU, which happens to be a Roman Catholic-run institution. [...] So at one of the core curriculum meetings, Amar proposed that Hinduism should be included. As the world’s oldest religion, he argued, it had put in most thought into the ‘perennial questions.’ His suggestion was accepted, and the SHU committee included the Gita, along with the Koran, the Bible, besides texts from the Buddhist sutras and the Greek philosophers. The course was called The Journey Of Transformation. | 2013-11-21 | False | false | true | supports |

Further, the post also questions the absence of a similar course within the Indian educational system. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: ‘The Journey of Transformation,’ the first course in Seton Hall University’s core curriculum, includes not only the Bhagavad Gita but also religious texts from diverse traditions such as Christianity, Hebrew, Greek, and others. Furthermore, it is evident that the Bhagavad Gita has been integrated into the curriculum of various Indian universities and is also referenced in NCERT textbooks at the school level. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING. Upon conducting an internet search to gather more information, we discovered media reports (here & here) regarding this matter. According to these reports, Seton Hall University, a prominent Catholic university located in New Jersey, made the study of the Bhagavad Gita compulsory for all students starting in 2008. The university aimed to introduce a transformative course that would profoundly impact the character and lives of its students. | 2023-06-30 | False | false | true | insufficient-refutes |

This technology is first of its kind being used by any railroad in the world for On-board accelerated digestion of human waste. These bio-toilets are fitted underneath the lavatories and the human waste discharged into them is acted upon by a colony of anaerobic bacteria that convert human waste mainly into water and small amount of bio-gases. The gases escape into atmosphere and waste water is discharged after chlorination onto the track. Human waste, thus, does not fall on the railway tracks thus improving cleanliness and hygiene at platforms, and facilitate track and coaches maintenance staff to perform their work more efficiently.

According to the national transporter, 100 per cent of passenger coaches have been fitted with bio toilets. This has ensured that no human waste is discharged from coaches of passenger trains on rail tracks. With this effort of the Railway Ministry, around 2,74,000 litres per day of excreta on rail tracks are being avoided.

As many as 73,078 passenger train coaches have been fitted with 2,58,906 bio toilets. Further, the national transporter has planned to supplement the existing system of bio toilet with vaccum flushing system toilet (bio vaccum toilets), which substantially reduces the requirement of water for flushing, while ensuring effective flushing of fecal matter from the pans. According to Indian Railways, bio vaccum toilets have been provided in a total of 1,372 LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches and also, it has been decided to provide bio vaccum toilets in air-conditioned LHB train coaches.

As of June 30, 2014, Indian Railways had installed 11,777 bio-toilets in 4,356 passenger coaches. However, the Modi government was only formed in May 2014, making it impossible for them to have installed all 11,777 bio-toilets. According to data cited by the then Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal in 2018, between 2013-14, 8,024 bio-toilets were installed in train coaches. Since 2014, there had been an increase in the implementation of bio-toilets in railway coaches, his data showed. Approximately 2.5 lakh bio-toilets have been installed in Indian Railway coaches as of March 25, 2022, meeting the daily needs of more than 100 lakh passengers, according to a Lok Sabha response. Therefore, the claim that the current government under Modi was the first to introduce bio-toilets in trains is false. The Congress-led UPA regime implemented bio-toilets in trains between 2009 and 2014.
