      Fact Check

      BOOM did a reverse image search on the viral picture and found the same image shared on a Facebook page Dr BR Ambedkar on October 27, 2020.

      The caption with the photo reads 'During dinner on the occasion of C. RajaGopalachari's appointment as India's Governor General. (June, 1948)'.

      Taking cue, we did a keyword search with 'c rajagopalachari first dinner vallabhbhai patel' and found a different version of the picture on a 2021 tweet from the Twitter handle History of India. The caption with the photo reads 'Jawaharlal Nehru's Cabinet seen at lunch hosted by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel seating next to C. Rajagopalachari who became Governor-General, 1948. Courtesy: Homai Vyarawalla'.

      On further searching, we found the same photo uploaded on photo agency Alamy's website with a Marathi caption.

      The Marathi caption translates to 'Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Azad and other ministers present at the dinner invitation given by Vallabhbhai Patel to the Cabinet on the occasion of Chakravarti Rajagopalachari becoming the first Indian Governor-General'.
