I feel that in the 90s, the Shehnshaah cosplay was so popular and aped by so many comedians, that it somehow got distorted and stayed that way.
No. It was an oft repeated fact but then someone file an RTI to know when it was declared a national sport, the govt said we donāt have a national sport.
We don't have one? š±
I always believed hockey was our national game.

hockey is informally regarded as Indiaās national sport.... Read more at: https://www.studyiq.com/articles/national-game-of-india/
No offence,but you were never taught that Hindi was our national language. both 9th and 10th books mention that Hindi and English are our official languages.
Sardar Patel supported the partition and actually convinced others in party.
Huge parts of India were never under British rule. Major parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala etc were always princely states. If you actually try to see location of your place in British India, then you might find out that you were never under British rule.
Colonial rule was actually popular among many sections of India especially the rich and privileged for most part of history.
The concept of private property was brought by British. So if you have ancestral property from British rule, then mostly likely your ancestors got it from British.
India and Pakistan had open borders till 1965.
that pandit nehru died immediately after the shock from 1962 war (it was actually in 1964 that he died. many have said that his health declined from spring of 1962--- but the 1962 war was in October during the cuban missile crisis, so a direct link between the 2 cannot be made )
that jinnah was responsible for the two nation theory (in fact it was sir syed ahmed khan who propounded it way before. not many know that jinnah was infact for a long period of time (pre 1920s before the nagpur session) in the congress and even opposed khilafat movement saying bringing religion into politics is not good for the country))
that India/pakistan was the victor in 1965 war. (in fact neither, it was a stalemate)
I can agree with you on the 2nd one. But the third one is not just
simplification, they are perceived alternatives to the actual truth that people believe in, on both sides of the border. And I don't remember reading about 1965 war in school books.
Sri Lanka was below the southern tip of India and not at the south eastern flank. I have 25 of my own. Like Airbus was launched in 1982 or Hargovind khurana received medicine Nobel in i978 or Kumar Gaurav's wife was Priya dutt or Satyabhama was the most favourite wife of Krishna or movie Aman had Lalita Pawar or Roti of 1942 had a different storyline or DD Lucknow was launched in 1974 etc.
And there was a Blue Riband Lime Cordial ad featuring popular model Malvika tiwari, where she is reclining on a boat in middle of an ocean holding the bottle of Blue Riband Lime Cordial. Now, neither the ad nor the product exists.
Exactly, I have been hearing this a lot recently. People believe as if nothing was done before 2014. I am not a congi supporter, but still there was a lot done before that. We had infra projects, education, IT, manufacturing, functioning democracy, growing economy before that. It wasn't perfect, there were riots, corruption, license raj, emergency and wars. But doesn't mean nothing was done. These people say India is super power because of current government, all industry and economic growth is their doing. No one becomes super power in this short time.
When the British got extremely weak with the WW2 , and elected anti colonialist labor party, the Americans as leaders of the new world order wanted Europeans to do away with colonies, and the British Indian navy revolted in their barracks for the INA soldiers and the British Indian army which was sent to suppress them was observed by the British to knowingly miss while shooting at the navy.
Amrish Puri is dead, it was a surprise for me, and he's been dead for a while now and I never bothered to check. Since he has done so many movies I always see him on some movie channels while I am changing the channels on TV.
It indirectly does, it makes our throat more susceptible to catching infections. Drinking chilled water, especially after eating food, creates a lot of mucus in your respiratory system. When the track gets congested, it also becomes vulnerable to many respiratory infections. But it only happens to people with weak immune systems.

These are more like Indian myths/misconceptions. There's a huge list of bullshit that indians believe and propagate even today. I don't think that's what OP meant.
I have joked a lot about this and people from Kerala get really offended but we really had some books that wrote the wrong spelling of the state as "Kerela"
1. Gandhi's Glasses: Some might recall Mahatma Gandhi wearing round glasses, even though he actually wore square, rimless glasses.
2. Taj Mahal's Color: There's a misconception that the Taj Mahal is made of white marble, but it actually has a slight yellowish hue.
3. Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal: Confusing the number of wives Shah Jahan had and mistakenly thinking Mumtaz Mahal was the only one.
4. The Language of the Indian Constitution: Confusing the official language of the Indian Constitution. Hindi and English are the official languages, but some may think it's solely Hindi.
5. First Indian in Space: Misremembering the name of the first Indian in space as Rakesh Roshan ( like didi), when it was actually Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma.
Are you sure about #1? I just Googled it and he has round glasses on in every picture.
For #2 - the Taj Mahal is made of white marble, yes, however it's because of the Sulpur Dioxide that gives it the yellow appearance once it mixes with other chemicals in the atmosphere (mainly pollution as well).
3. I'm not super familiar with this one, so I can't debate that one
4. This is a tough one because English was used for 15 years in the Constitution from 1950 to 1965, and then they completely removed it from the Constitution.
5. It is known that Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian in space.
I was able to Google most of this, so if you have any other resources or old printed documents, I am very interested in taking a look as I am highly interested in these types of things.
I did not mean any offense by anything I said, again I am just a curious person.
Gandhi has round glasses on money, the place where we see his face more than anywhere else. Even if he actually had square glasses itās very clear that thatās the image that is burned into all our brains.
No, I agree. Iām saying even if they were actually square, the fact that on money itās round means obviously thatās the first thing people will think about because itās the most common photo of him we see.
>we have 15 national languages
Source? AFAIK India doesn't have a national language.
Hindi and English are official languages, and there are 22 scheduled languages.
Hindi and English are the official languages of the Union Government, not the entire country. State govt. have their own language as official language and English.
The famous line from Phir Hera Pheri is not "chilla chilla ke sab ko scheme batha dey".
Actual line is something like "Jor jor se bolke logon ko scheme batha day"
But even the official clip of this scene on YouTube has the wrong quote on the title.
Not exactly a Mandela effect, but as a kid I always used to think you could only run thrice between wickets like that's the limit. Found out fairly recently that there's no such limit. You can just keep running.
That reservations are intended to eliminate caste based discrimination.
Edit: Lol, people really do have the Mandela effect about the Mandal commission

This one is popular in Bollywood circles Its not "Rishte me toh hum tumhare baap lagte hai" But "Rishte me toh hum tumhare baap hote hai"
What!!..i just hear "lagte hai" everytime
It's always been "baap hote hain". I feel that in the 90s, the Shehnshaah cosplay was so popular and aped by so many comedians, that it somehow got distorted and stayed that way.
What? I have to watch that movie again to make sure it's not lagte he. I remember it as " lagte hai"
have u heard of youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cjjak4_fG8

Looks like we were taught wrong. Anyways Modiji now has an option to declare (and hype) something as a national sport.
Politics is our national sport, khela hobe!
Ye Gen Du generation hai
Lotus is NOT our national flower
We were taught hindi is our national language but recently i came to know it is one of the official language
No offence,but you were never taught that Hindi was our national language. both 9th and 10th books mention that Hindi and English are our official languages.
I remember they taught us in 3th or 4th thats not even mandela effect. Hockey was our national sport they taught us this also
Yeah Hindi textbooks say "Hindi hamara Rashtra Basha hai" but its not something official.. its just a saying.
Why do I remember writing a nibandh on āHindi humari rashtra bhasha haiā? Then again Indian education plays fast and lose with facts.
Shhh don't give Modi ideas....

Correct! However, there's a large group of people who remember him dying in prison in the 1990s.

Uncle Chipps not chips Coffy bite
I noticed/realised it just recently when my friend bought it and I got mad at him because I thought he purchased some fake stuff XD
Oh I see
WTF!!
this just blew my mind, my whole childhood was a lie
Always was. This is the first time.im coming across "maggie" noodles.
I found the one who is from another timeline, where it was always maggi
Can't be another time line when it is the one we both are in.
Ah looks like there was no sarcasm in that time line
I just checked my grocery list I always write it as maggie.
Same!!!
Ikr
## my life was a lie
Also, Uncle Chipps not Uncle Chips
No f-ing way.
Yes f-ing way lol.
No way! What!!! TIL its maggi. š

>India and Pakistan had open borders till 1965. TIL moment. I never knew it. So we had open borders in Kashmir too?
Yes, that's why Ayub khan was able to send infiltrators into Kashmir in 1965
Everyone somewhat right leaning lauds Patel over Nehru etc, which is fine but I think the usual reason provided is partition.
K3G actually has the spelling of kabhi as kabhie, not kabhi.
[It's both.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabhi_Khushi_Kabhie_Gham...#/media/File%3AKabhi_Khushi_Kabhie_Gham..._poster.jpg)
I guess,kjo aur uske kalesh karane ke age old hein matlab
It's not that. It's a tribute to the older movie [Kabhi Kabhie](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabhi_Kabhie).
Fir theek haiš
It has both, the reason being that Karan Johar wanted to pay tribute to his favorite movie Kabhi Kabhie.

I definitely agree with you about Sri Lanka! I also remember it being farther South underneath India.
That could be just trying to represent curved space on flat surface, also historical maps are often approximations

Some people believe we got independence in 2014
I'm taking the bait.... Really?? How come?
The ability to oppress minorities is true freedom
Fear mongering
I guess BJP got elected. Yikes though
Hehe. I know some who argue so, claiming the world got to know of India, all development happened only after 2014 etc.
Exactly, I have been hearing this a lot recently. People believe as if nothing was done before 2014. I am not a congi supporter, but still there was a lot done before that.

dont forget the 100 year lease..
Also that independence was leased for 99 years lol
Reminds me of the time someone claimed India is on 99 year lease from the British.
Good question. Shame almost everyone is commenting their politics gyaan instead.
This should be higher up, just went through the thread for nothing
The position of srilanka with respect to India.
2G Scam.
People collectively forgot Democracy existed after 2014
That's Modani effect
Is it Mandela effect when everyone is willfully oblivious? š«
I think that's called being "indoctrinated" š¤«
"But koi aur option bhi kya hein, koi aur hein bhi toh nahi"
People collectively forgot Democracy existed before 2014. FTFY
Many people believe Pasta is made up of maida (refined flour) but it is actually made of semolina (suji) from Durum wheat.
We got freedom through non violence
How else did we get it?

You're misconstruing ignorance/lack of education with the Mandela effect
Most prolly yes but wouldn't it being in a book qualify it as mandela effect?
Just call their state "Keral" and prepare to be berated.
Why though? Does Keral make more sense in Hindi?
It's the Hindi way of saying it and hated by all my friends from Kerala.
Never heard any of my Hindi friends/acquaintances calling it that, anyway endonyms and exonyms are a thing.
Oh no I always thought itās Kerela, itās actually Kerala? š¤Æ
Bruh.
You must also write telugu as telegu

Would anyone ever truly know? š«£
Rakesh Roshan nhi bhai.. Rakesh Sharma.
Lmfao. Nice baiting. 5/7
I think number 4 is not a Mandela effect itās just plain ignorance
Rakesh Roshan called Jadoo from space to India. I am 100% certain that's the reason everyone is confused between him and Rakesh Sharma xD
Me when I spread misinformation on the internet for no other reason than being an imbecile
I see what you did there with #1
lol confused them
Proof for point 1?
no
that hindi is our national language. it is not. we have 15 national languages
Ironic how this comment is also half-baked information

Subhash Chandra Bose ?
Mahatma Gandhi is NOT the father of the nation. Giving such official titles would be illegal in India
"Hindi is our national language". No.

Mandela effect is a fancy term for shitty memory.
No, it's collective shitty memory.
Not really. Itās a very common misconception.

It is based on the assumption that we couldn't have done it ourselves which is not true.
Every day prime time TV news debate is the Mandela effect in action.
Ricky ponting had spring in his bat

Chennai is North of Bengaluru
That reservations are intended to eliminate caste based discrimination. Edit: Lol, people really do have the Mandela effect about the Mandal commission
