Internet for Propaganda

First there was this mail doing the rounds that said humans had never gone to the moon. Then came an email which informed that using shampoos which contained a certain kind of chemical could cause cancer.

And after many more, there's another one doing the round since a few months which claims that Rabindranath Tagore was an unpatriotic Indian, and Jana gana mana had been written for the King.

All I can say is- how can anyone even think of such a thing about Tagore? And for those who believed it- how could you believe it without checking?
