Social media has been abuzz recently with many users claiming that the Supreme Court changed its motto ‘Satyamev Jayate’ to ‘Yato Dharmastato Jai’. On August 21, 2020, Sunil Astay of the Bhim Army posted two images in a tweet, writing, “The Supreme Court released a list on August 17, which issued the names of six advocates who had been appointed as judges to the Delhi High Court. But the big news here is that the words inscribed under the Ashoka Pillar have changed.” (archived link to the tweet<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Journalist Punya Prasun Bajpai had also tweeted these photos with the same claim, later deleting his post. We managed to take a screenshot of the tweet, which is below.<\/p>\n

Many people made posts on Facebook<\/a> stating that “the Supreme Court is more concerned with victory than justice since its motto is no longer ‘Satyamev Jayate’ (the truth alone triumphs), but ‘Yato Dharmastato Jai’ (where there is dharma, there is victory). Another user had tagged Alt News on Twitter<\/a>, requesting our team to verify this information. Meanwhile, other users wrote about how everyone should be speaking out<\/a> about it along with the need for wide reportage on this change.<\/p>\n
