nyone who uses Twitter knows that anything that is there on the internet doesnt automatically mean that it is true. And anyone who has seen the widely acclaimed series Game Of Thrones, is aware of who Arya Stark is. But not Madhu Kishwar, a noted scholar and activist, it seems.
With the recent developments around Article 370, social media is dealing with an epidemic of fake news. And Madhu Kishwar, who has earlier taken fake news at face value, was almost duped yet again. However, this time around, she asked for a ‘fact ckeck’ on the tweet in question.
Madhu retweeted the picture of a ‘Kashmiri girl, who according to the tweet, ‘went blind after she was hit by pellet gun’. Only that the girl in the picture was none other than the popular character from Game Of Thrones, Arya Stark – played by Maisie Williams.

The tweet said, “Kashmiri girl who became blind after she was hit by pellet gun, her brothers, father & mother were mercilessly killed, her sister was raped by Indian Army now begging on street of Srinagar: Where is Humanity? #KashmirUnderThreat #OperationKashmir #IndiaUsingClusterBombs.”
Madhu even went forward and asked Fact Check India to confirm if the victim was real.
She tweeted, “This looks too filmy to be true’ Would like @FactCheckIndia to confirm if this is real victim? What are Zakat Funds used for if not for poor and vulnerable?”
The picture was tweeted by an account called Zaidu” with a bio saying, “All Tweets are for fun 100% fake: imaginary”” resemblance to any person dead or alive is purely coincidental’.But looks like Madhu missed that, and she tweeted to a Fact Check website to clarify the same.
But her followers were better informed than her (and obviously knew who Arya Stark was) and were quick enough to correct Kishwar. Heres what people are saying:
