SimplifieD on Instagram: "This report will blow your mind because it exposes how our most important institution, the protector of our democracy, the election commission of India might be compromised That it is not acting as a Commission And is acting like a one man agency I try to explain But after this we all need to ask if we are still a democracy? Can we win it back ?"
Verdict: Mixed: the video accurately cites some EC procedure issues, but it overstates and muddles key numbers.

The transcript is broadly based on a real Indian Express investigation, but it simplifies the law and mixes up some voter-roll figures.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
- Accurate (89% confidence): Election Commission decisions are not supposed to rest on one person's whim; business is meant to be handled unanimously if possible, and disputes are decided by majority. The Election Commission (Conditions of Service of Election Commissioners and Transaction of Business) Act, 1991 says business should, as far as possible, be transacted unanimously; if there is a difference of opinion, the majority view…
- Accurate (96% confidence): In Goa, 97 eligible voters were left off the final electoral roll after local officers found them eligible but the central software blocked their restoration.

- Accurate (90% confidence): In West Bengal, about 27 lakh voters were deleted from the rolls during the SIR process. Indian Express reported that 27 lakh voters were deleted in West Bengal during the SIR process.
- Accurate (94% confidence): About 16 lakh West Bengal appeals were filed against inclusions after the roll revisions. The Indian Express said 16.10 lakh appeals were filed against inclusions in West Bengal.

- Kristen Fischer on Instagram: "Does Indian Veg food have protein? Why yes, it does. Many people are mistaken when it comes to where protein comes from and how much you need. All protein comes from plants. In fact, the only reason meat has protein, is because the animals eat the plants that contain protein first. It is not hard to get adequate protein in your diet while eating vegetarian. And honestly there are a lot of people who think you need way more protein than you actually do. Vegetarian food has all you need as long as you vary your food and stick to protein coupled options. I know many people will disagree with me here, but the notion that you need 100g or more of protein every day is absolutely absurd. But in the face of a protein-crazed society, this might seem like an unpopular opinion. #protein #vegetarian #vegfood #plantbasedprotein #indianfood" — Score 62/100
- Swati Dhayani Kala on Instagram: "Start small but consistently! I’ve personally noticed a slowing down in my greying hair since including this regularly in my diet. While everyone’s experience is different, this nutrient-rich combination has become a staple in my wellness routine. ❤️ 🌿 A gentle Ayurvedic reminder: While amaranth (rajgira) and aliv (garden cress) seeds are incredibly nutrient-dense, Ayurveda considers both to be warming (ushna) in nature and relatively heavy to digest when consumed in excess. This is why they are traditionally enjoyed in moderate quantities, especially during hot weather or by those with a sensitive digestive system. More isn’t always better when it comes to nutrition. The goal is to nourish the body without overloading digestion. Consuming this porridge 2–3 times a week or in sensible portions allows you to enjoy its iron, protein, and mineral-rich benefits while maintaining digestive balance. ✨ Nutrient-dense foods deliver the greatest benefits when eaten consistently and mindfully—not excessively.
