THEIR WORDS
Did Vivekananda say "Talk to yourself at least once a day"?
We searched the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda and found no "talk to yourself" line. The earliest copy we found is from 2015, with no source cited.
MYTH OR FACT
Did Mirabai really drink poison, and who sent it?
In every early telling Mirabai drinks the poison and lives, but no outside record confirms it, and the sources name different senders, or none.
MYTH OR FACT
Is Chanakya Niti the same as the Arthashastra? Who wrote it?
No. The Arthashastra is a prose treatise on government that names Kautilya; Chanakya Niti is a set of verse collections with no known author.

Do AI characters remember you between chats?

MYTH OR FACT
Did Napoleon plan to invade India? What his letters say
Yes, on paper: a letter to Tipu Sultan, route studies in Persia and an 1808 offer to the Tsar. We found no order for an army to march, and none arrived.
MYTH OR FACT
Was Napoleon really short?
No. His post-mortem in 1821 recorded about 1.69 m (5 ft 6 in), average or slightly above for his time. The 'little' Napoleon grew out of British cartoons.
