Written by : TNM

| The News Minute | March 11, 2015 | 1:10 p.m. IST |Users on Twitter form part of a polarised universe. No sooner had the #AdarshLiberal hashtag started trending, when #AdarshSanghi was crafted as the perfect riposte.The thread was started off by a chart with spin offs from the “Adarsh Balak” comic strips which mock the concept of the “ideal boy” in school. The #AdarshLiberal trend which started it all mocks the hypocrisy of the “liberal” who, for example, supports PETA while gorging on non-vegetarian food. Its counter trend, #AdarshSanghi, plays with the fact that the “sanghi” has RSS affiliations and worships Narendra Modi.Pretty soon though, ‘liberals’ and ‘sanghis’ alike were engaging themselves in a Twitter war of sorts with memes and retorts flying back and forth.  So, here’s how it progressed: Just in case you missed.
