A video of a huge crowd dancing and celebrating on a road is going viral on social media. The background score of the video is ‘Mera Bharat Ka Bachcha Bachcha Jai Shri Ram Bolega’.
It is being claimed that the Netherlands has been established as a Hindu Nation.
The video is being shared with a Bengali caption, “নেদারল্যান্ডে গেরুয়া ঝড় নেদারল্যান্ডে হিন্দু রাষ্ট্র প্রতিষ্ঠা করে তার নাম পাল্টে হিন্দুরল্যান্ড করা হলো। (রোগীজি এই নামটি দিয়েছেন) বিদেশেও বোদি ঝড় হর হর বোদি ঘর ঘর বোদি”
(Translation: Saffron storm in the Netherlands. The Hindu state was established in the Netherlands and its name was changed to Hinduland. Yogiji has given this name) Modi storm in abroad too…Hail Modi, Modi in every house, Hail Lord Ram)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be false.
We ran a keyword search along with Reverse Image Search on the keyframes of the viral video and found similar visuals in some YouTube videos. The videos can be seen here and here.
The title of the videos suggested that the video is of Dutch fans in Budapest. The title read, “Netherlands Fans in Budapest Euro2020 | Dutch Fanmarsch | Netherlands vs Czech Republic EURO 2020.”
In the original video, the background music is something else that is nowhere related to PM Modi. The video shows Dutch fans before the Euro 2020 match between the Netherlands and Czech Republic in Budapest, Hungary. Also, the crowd can be seen sporting saffron colours as it’s the colour of the Netherlands’ team jersey.
Moreover, we also looked for announcements or media reports regarding the Netherlands being established as a Hindu nation but did not find any report to corroborate the claim.
