Chetan Bhagat tweets 'did you saw the Taj...', Twitter replies 'really bad grammar'
Chetan Bhagat
Bhagat had tweeted his comment in response to the Washington Post article asking 'Is India neglecting the Taj because it was built by Muslims?'
Chetan Bhagat and immaculate English don’t usually go in the same sentence, but a grammatical error made by thepopular pulp fiction writer had theTwitteratitrolling him. Bhagat had tweeted out a comment onWashington Post's article on the iconic Taj Mahal being not included in the Uttar Pradesh Tourism booklet.
Bhagat posted a poll with a tweet which basically posed the question if Indians saw Taj Mahal as aMuslim monument: "Did you ever, as an Indian, saw the Taj as a 'Muslim' monument (as @washingtonpostis saying it's being neglected because it is Muslim)." Last checked, 84 per cent of those responding said they saw Taj as an Indian monument, while another 16 per cent felt it was a Muslim one.
However, some tweeters decided to latch on to the'grammaticallyincorrect English' in theTweet by Bhagat who has often defended his Englishas simple and easy to understandeven for those not educated in the language.
Some even put up mock polls in response to Bhagat's poll on theIndian-nessof Taj.
