An image circulating on social media, purportedly from the June 6, 1967 edition of The Hindu, has falsely claimed that then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi urged citizens not to buy gold to promote 'national discipline' and conserve foreign exchange. The Hindu newspaper has clarified that this image is digitally altered and not an authentic representation of their front page. Journalist B. Kolappan emphasized the importance of verifying information before sharing it online. While the image is fake, it is worth noting that during Indira Gandhi's tenure, strict gold control measures were indeed implemented to manage foreign exchange reserves. These measures included prohibiting citizens from holding gold bars and coins and limiting goldsmiths to a maximum of 100 grams for jewelry-making. The Gold Control measures were introduced by then Finance Minister Morarji Desai in 1962, and the stricter Gold Control Act was enacted in 1968, further regulating gold ownership in India.
