What good are the utterances of our netas if they don’t spark funny hashtags and memes? We say this with a little disappointment — it’s been almost 24 hours since Tripura Chief Minister mentioned Internet and Mahabharata in the same sentence and yet #InternetMahabharata is not trending on Twitter. He’s even issued another statement standing by his theory, and we’ve still got no top trend.
Support Independent Media
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeIt’s not like people aren’t trying, though. Hat-tip to Arré for being the most prolific of the lot.
Since Tripura CM has stated that only “narrow minded” people are finding it difficult to believe his theory on Internet’s existence from the time of Mahabharata, we suggest you show him some love and make #InternetMahabharata a thing.
