But many comments in this post claim that this video is not related to India but Thailand or China. To verify the originality of this video we did an image reverse search with the help of screenshots of the video.
We found a video just like the one which is being shared but with Vande Mataram playing in the background on YouTube. This video was uploaded in 2017.
Another video we found was uploaded by New China TV, which has more than four lakh subscribers. The caption of the video says ‘Chinese artists present thousand-hand Bodhisattva dance at United Nations’. The video was uploaded in November 2018.
We then searched for an event held in the UN as per the description of the above video.
It was now clear that the viral video has no connection with India and this video is from New York, where in 2018, disabled artists from China performed Bodhisattva at the UN headquarters.
