Writer Chetan Bhagat Posts A Patriotic Tweet, But Gets Trolled For The Grammatical Error
Chetan Bhagat, a name that once shined in the world of literary-novellas in India. Out of so many writers who met their downfall in the field of literature, Chetan Bhagat tops the list for sure. Starting with a little success in writing, his career experienced a high swing as the movie ‘3 Idiots’ which is based on his novel became a blockbuster.
It didn’t take much time to make it a semi-circle, Bhagat’s career has started falling drastically with his mere or non-existing plots and irrelevant story-telling of which people are now completely annoyed. Be it his opinion on ‘Demonetization’ or being a judge in some utterly irrelated program like ‘Nach Baliye’, Bhagat was often targeted for being so much eccentric, in a bad manner.
Well, after all, he once led a successful career in writing, and his novels were treated as the starters for any aspiring readers. Time stained his books and his boring way of presenting the story catalyzed the downfall deliberately.
Now after so much time, Bhagat has recently topped the news for an embarrassing reason. It was his post regarding achieving a rare milestone on Twitter, bagged 10 million followers. Now, yet again after that, he made a tweet on viewing Taj Mahal, he conducted a poll questioning the way people look at the monument.
He tweeted, “Did you ever, as an Indian, saw the Taj as a ‘Muslim’ monument (as @washingtonpost is saying it’s being neglected because it is Muslim)” along with a poll and Twitterati made mincemeat out of this update, as Chetan used ‘saw’ instead of ‘see’ which is grammatically wrong.
Did you ever, as an Indian, saw the Taj as a ‘Muslim’ monument (as @washingtonpost is saying it’s being neglected because it is Muslim)

This is how Twitterati reacted for this,
When someone spotted the grammatical error!! Grrr!
For a guy who claims to be a writer in English, that’s some really bad grammar!

While all this is going on one side, we mustn’t forget to appreciate Chetan for his attempt in bringing the context to the limelight. The poll conducted him so far garnered 84% votes for the “saw the monument as an Indian monument”, and 16% the other.
