evidence: New Delhi: Commonwealth gold medalist and wrestler Babita Phogat Monday tweeted that UNESCO has declared Indian national anthem as the best in the world. The tweet said, "Many congratulations friends. Our national anthem "Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak Jaya He Bharat Bhagyavidhata", has been declared as the best anthem in the world, UNESCO has declared it. As an Indian I am proud of it. Let’s share this moment of happiness and pride with each other." However, UNESCO has never made any such declaration. This particular fake news was started in 2008 through email and caught Unesco’s attention. As reported by India Today at the time, the UN official had said, "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."
