“Photos of monuments in various counties with Indian tricolour on the occasion of 75 years of Indian Independence”
What FACTLY found
Most of the posted photos are edited ones. The edited photos were originally posted by the ‘FilterCopy’ in 2017 with the following disclaimer on each photo – “this is an edited picture”. A couple of photos in the post are real photos but they are old. While it is true that some monuments in other countries like Australia and Canada were lit up in Indian tricolour on the occasion of 75 years of Indian Independence, the posted photos are not related to them
