Old Indian Flag Hoisting Video Misattributed to Afghan Muslims

A video showing the Indian flag being hoisted at the Darul Uloom Deoband seminary in India was recently shared online with claims that it depicted Muslims in Afghanistan raising the flag. The footage, which dates back several years, was mistakenly presented as a contemporary event in Afghanistan. Fact‑checking organization FACTLY confirmed that the video originates from Darul Uloom Deoband and has no connection to any Afghan gathering. The misattribution spread across social media platforms, leading to confusion among viewers. Users are urged to verify the source of such videos before sharing, as false claims can fuel misinformation and misrepresent cultural contexts.
