The post claims that Devoleena Bhattacharjee despite working in the film ‘The Kerala Story’, knew it is a propaganda film and boldly married a Muslim named Shanwaz Shaikh. Let’s verify the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Devoleena Bhattacharjee did not work in ‘The Kerala Story’ film and the photo shared in the post shows Devoleena Bhattacharjee posing for a picture with her co-artist Vishal Singh. Devoleena Bhattacharjee married her gym-trainer Shanwaz Shaikh in December 2022 way before the release of the ‘The Kerala Story’ film. Hence, the claim made in the post is False. [...] Reacting to a tweet narrating a story of how an interfaith relationship came to an end after watching ‘The Kerala Story’ movie, Devoleena Bhattacharjee tweeted, "Its not always like that. My husband is a Muslim & came with me to watch the movie & he appreciated it. He neither took it as an offence nor he felt it was against his religion. And I feel that’s how every Indian should be like." Devoleena Bhattacharjee made multiple other tweets related to ‘The Kerala Story’ controversy. From all these pieces of evidence, it can be concluded that Devoleena Bhattacharjee had not acted in the film ‘The Kerala Story’ and that the photo shared in the post shows Devoleena posing a picture with her co-star Vishal Singh, not with her husband Shanwaz Shaikh. | 2023-05-19 | False | false | true | refutes |

This letter also calls out to people to assemble at the Governor’s house of each state at 11 am on 12 March with a petition to roll back the tax. Let’s know the details behind this letter in this fact-checking article. [...] We performed a reverse image search on the image to learn more details about the letter. This search led us to two blog posts (here and here) from March 2011, which contained the same letter. One of those two posts mentions that Dr. Devi Shetty issued this open letter to the people of India urging them to ‘observe 12th March 2011 as ‘Misery Day’. The letter also opposed the Union Government’s proposal to impose an additional 5 per cent service tax on healthcare provided by the private hospitals. He called this new proposed tax as ‘Misery Tax’. We then looked for relevant news articles regarding this and found the related information. Reportedly, in 2011, the then Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee proposed to levy a service tax of 5% on the healthcare services provided by hospitals with 25 or more beds with central air conditioning facilities. This proposal received a negative response from the healthcare industry.

Sircar wrote in the post, "Agree fully with Dr Devi Shetty that Modi-Nirmala’s service tax on health services will devastate the middle class and poor. Withdraw this tax!" In the letter published as an advertisement in the newspapers, Dr Devi Shetty opposed a proposed service tax of 5 per cent on healthcare in the budget. Calling it a ‘misery tax’, Dr Shetty had called people to assemble at the Governor’s house of each state at 11 AM on March 12 with a petition to roll back the tax. [...] To summarise, a service tax on Healthcare was proposed by FM Mukherjee in the 2011 budget. After backlash, it was withdrawn by the government.

In 2019, Rs. 5,00,000 tax exemption limit is after considering the tax rebate. Without the tax rebate, the actual income limit for no income tax is just Rs. 2,50,000 (in 2019).

Clusters are defined as "groups of industries closely related by skill, technology, supply, demand and/or other linkages" (Delgado, Porter, and Stern 2016). A cluster-based development approach involves collaborative actions by groups of companies, governments, and other related institutions to improve the competitiveness of a group of interlinked economic activities in a specific geographic region (Ketels and Memedovic 2008). Sonobe and Otsuka’s (2006) empirical study of cluster-based industrial development in developing countries suggests that a cluster can be an effective institution for HVP value chain development as well. Indeed, Gálvez-Nogales (2010) finds numerous successful agro-based clusters in many countries. As an illustration, Figure 1 shows the structure of an agro-based cluster. In the cluster, farmers are entrepreneurs who see their farms as businesses. They are not just farming but operating complicated businesses, employing workers, coordinating the division of labor among teams, and collaborating with outsiders. In other words, entrepreneurial farmers are skillful at not only producing but also grading, marketing, branding, and management. | 2021-04-02 | True | false | true | supports |

The analysis is dense. The CAP Action Fund went through the goods the U.S. Census says we're projected to import in 2025, then calculated what the tariff on them would be and divided that by the number of American households. That figure was then adjusted for government estimates on how much middle-income households spend overall relative to other consumers.

The bill was introduced following reports of students being outed by school staff, sometimes leading to familial rejection or even violence. "I am proud to stand up for our LGBTQ youth and introduce #AB1955 The SAFETY Act," Ward wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. "Teachers should not be the gender police and violate the trust and safety of the students in their classrooms. This bill will ensure all students have a safe and supportive environment to learn, regardless of their gender identity." Supporters of the bill argue that outing students without their consent can lead to severe mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, and in extreme cases, homelessness or self-harm.
