Fact Check: Old clip of Ram Navami rally passed off as ‘Hindu awakening’ after Amravati riots

Days after communal tension flared up in Amravati in Maharashtra, a video of a massive crowd waving saffron flags is circulating on social media with the claim that Hindus are 'waking up'. India Today found the posts to be misleading.

Close to 200 people have been held, even as Amravati remains under curfew, days after communal tensions flared up in this Maharashtra city. The violence started on November 12 when some Muslim organisations took out a protest march against the violence in Tripura. A day later, the BJP called a bandh that also led to vandalism.

Amid claims and counter-claims, a video of a massive crowd waving saffron flags and dancing in front of an Islamic structure is circulating on social media with the claim that Hindus in Amravati are finally waking up after the violence.
