The trend became strong as some users posted about incidents that have happened in the last few days with the hashtag ‘Whats Wrong With India’ but some netizens slammed the social media platform accusing it of having a “biased algorithm” that tried to portray India and its people negatively.

The news clippings mentioned how India “wiped out extreme poverty”, became the first nation to successfully land on the moon’s South Pole; was praised as the fastest growing economy by the International Monetary Fund’s executive director and other nations trying to emulate the South Asian nation’s digital infrastructure.

Several users backed the government’s response, sharing pictures and videos of negative incidents that happen in other countries with the caption ‘What’s wrong with India’.
