New India Samachar, Indian Government's bi-weekly Online news Magazine, is getting slammed by several history experts and netizens over misreported facts.
Original Tweet of PIB India https://twitter.com/PIB_India/status/1480775643549732864
Post by S Sen: "New India" New History!
Those who have been listed.. in a publication by the PIB (of the Union Government) in celebration of the "Amrita Mahotsav" of Indian Independence,
for providing inspiration for the 1857 rebellion include, among others, Swami Vivekananda and Ramana Maharshi. Interestingly, Swami Vivekananda was born in Jan. 1863 and Ramana Maharshi in Dec. 1879.
While these two would be born well after the failed rebellion was over, the other one listed, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, had been born in February 1486 -
more than 350 years before; was known for his endearing message of love...
Some "history" indeed!

See PIB India correction tweet https://twitter.com/PIB_India/status/1480888613923475457
The tweet claims that the error was not present in the Hindi version. This brings up the question which was the original language of the master copy. English or Hindi. If Hindi, then who added the impugned portion. Was it a mistake, or was it part of the brief. If the master was in in English, then when did the Hindi translator notice the anamoly and self-corrected it. If so, why wasnt the first English publication corrected then?
