A typical leftist who is also a woke feminist, singer Chinmayi, is once again in the news. This time she was caught red handed spreading fake news and despite multiple confirmations from other netizens, she did not delete her post on social media platform X.
What Was The Post About?
On 23 June 2025, Chinmayi shared a post about a Scheduled Caste (Dalit) family that was boycotted socially by the villagers in Balasore district in Odisha, after the family refused to marry off their minor daughter. Here’s what Chinmayi wrote as the caption to the news clipping – “Why we are sh*t.”
In short, Chinmayi had already made the assumption that it was “upper class” villagers who boycotted the family.
The post she shared was from The Observer Post, a known leftist handle.
What Was The Truth?
In reality, Chinmayi did not bother to find out or read further that the family was boycotted by other Dalits in the village which is a Dalit hamlet in the first place!
When netizens confronted her with the truth, she simply wrote, “I’ll wait for someone to fact check this.”
Some even shared news links about the village and the issue, however, she did not bother to take down her post nor fact check on her own.
As per a report in Siasat.com, the report read, “When Siasat.com reached out to the police, they denied all claims, saying the complaint was motivated by a recent dispute between Prasant and the head of the village. The police informed that Prasant used to take water from Pradeep’s water cellar for agricultural purposes, but refused to pay him money for it. The police also alleged that Prasant’s daughter, then 14, had eloped with the man willingly was not kidnapped. They also informed that the man is now married and has a son. The police say the boycott is only a few days old, unlike the three years as claimed by a few media reports.”
Another report claims, the issue is only 3 months old.
In toto, it was an internal dispute that was recent and blown up by the media to make it look like some caste discrimination by villainous upper caste villagers on the poor family. Discrimination based on caste is wrong, especially in today’s day and age, but that does not mean one can amplify fake news without doing a basic fact check.
As expected, other self-proclaimed “Dalit” handles alone shared the news, as below:
Netizens slammed her for not checking before posting sensitive news such as these and called out her hypocrisy in hurrying to post anything about marginalized families while painting the upper castes as villains, when reality is otherwise.
Her post is still available on X, and we think it will take an eternity for Chinmayi to understand she has been factchecked multiple times over the past few days.
It is noteworthy that even in the Kalakshetra issue, Chinmayi was too eager to pin down all the blame on the alleged perpetrator – all the while basing her arguments on the flimsy allegation on a teacher in the institution.
Posting without verifying facts and letting such posts remain despite being fact checked is a hallmark of leftists, Chinmayi has morphed into a true-blue leftist – reminds us of the Rajinikanth dialogue in the film Chandramukhi where he tells his friend Saravanan (played by Prabhu) “Look at your wife Ganga, who has morphed fully into Chandramukhi, the dancer.”
