In Baghpat of Uttar Pradesh, there was a disagreement between some chaat stall owners. What ensued was an enthusiastic fight where several men were seen to be beating up each other in hand to hand combat, also using some effective-looking sticks to make their point. The video of the fight went wildly viral. In particular, the #Chacha (uncle) in a green kurta with bizarre orange hair caught people’s fancy. The tweeple decided he was Einstein Uncle and soon, Chacha was trending.
A brawl over chaat became the Battle of Baghpat and the guy in the green kurta became a legend.
He obviously has the moves; not one to back down from a fight.
He seemed to give as good as he got in that skirmish, black eye notwithstanding.
Chacha’s fighting ability impressed a lot of people; soon he found his face in supplanted over the faces of WWE personalities.
People were impressed – seen here is the Rock, with chacha’s face superimposed on his.
The takedown, that hair and the fact that they all landed up in jail – great grist for the meme mill!
People had a lot to say about the battle over chaat.
Many of the tweeple were reminded of another #Chacha; this one from the series Mirzapur.
The peculiar two-tone hair caught people’s attention as much as chacha’s fighting ability.
…This hair!
People didn’t miss the black-eye chacha sustained either.
This obscure man from Baraut in Baghpat is now a bona fide Indian meme-star.
The hair, the green kurta and that face are now famous all over the county.
There have been other uncles before – with just the right face and hair for such timeless memes.
Meme-makers were most amused by the chain of events of a fight after which everyone ended up in lockup.
This tweet expresses the angst of kids having to take offline exams after a year of online classes.
The #Chacha!
