FACT CHECK

When we fact-checked the viral claim, we found that it was a hoax.

The UNESCO reportedly confirmed that the above message is FAKE as UNESCO has not named India’s national anthem, or any other national anthem, to be the world’s best.

“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,” an UNESCO official was quoted in a report.

Hence, the above messge is FAKE.
