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.
