An image is being shared on the internet claiming to show the agreement between India and Pakistan that they signed during the partition in 1947.

  • The agreement in the image lists the terms that both parties purportedly agreed to follow.

(Archived versions of more claims can be found here, here, and here)

Is it true?: No, the image does not show an actual agreement between India and Pakistan, as it has been AI-generated.

How did we find out?: We ran a reverse image search on the image using Google Lens and could not find any credible sources sharing the image.

  • There have been several agreements between the two countries since the partition, but the agreement in the claim does not resemble them.

  • Following this, we ran the image through Hive Moderation, an AI detector, which flagged the image as AI-generated.

  • We ran the image through Sightengine, which also flagged it as an AI-generated image.

  • Upon close observation, the watermark for Gemini, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot, is visible.

  • We ran the image through SynthID, which concluded that the image contains signals indicating that all or part of the content was edited or generated with AI.

  • The oldest post we could find that shared the image has an AI tag, which indicates the content was AI-generated.

Conclusion: The image does not show an actual agreement between India and Pakistan, as it has been AI-generated.
