evidence: A recurring email/message that has graced our inboxes is definitely one declaring that the UNESCO had recognised our national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana', as the world's best anthem. [...] We are aware of several blogs in India reporting this story, but can assure you that UNESCO has made no such announcement concerning the anthem of India or any country. Several other messages on similar lines include the UNESCO having credited PM Narendra Modi as "the best prime minister in the world", and the new Rs 2,000 note as "the best currency in the world." These messages too have been debunked, as the UNESCO does not give out such awards.
