Many unexpected things start to trend on Twitter thanks to just one random meme. Many random hashtags have become trending topics on the platform for no apparent reason other than users finding it funny or relatable. Some random hashtags that have been trending for the past few months are #bindiTwitter, #suitTwitter, #beardTwitter and #chappalTwitter, all of which became hot topics for no apparent reason. Recently, another unexpected trend has started to gain traction on the platform. Fake India pictures have flooded Twitter, all of which start by saying that the image was taken from a location in India, though they obviously were not.
