'What's wrong with India' is trending on social media. Social media is full of posts containing this phrase. The phrase trended with his 430,000 posts, and even the Government of India (MyGovIndia) weighed in.
But what is “what's wrong with India”?
The incident began a few days ago when a Spanish tourist was gang-raped in India's Jharkhand state. This sparked widespread outrage on social, with many users sharing their negative travel experiences in India.
Nevertheless, certain accounts used this incident to discredit India and claimed that such events are commonplace in the country.
However, when users use reverse cards, the following issues occur:
On March 13, a number of users in India, known as X users, posted content with a unique twist.
They shared images and videos depicting similar incidents in other countries with the caption, “What's wrong with India?”
Their goal was to demonstrate that X's algorithm prioritized posts featuring the phrase “What's wrong with India,” thereby amplifying anti-India content.
Notably, some of these posts came from users with fewer than 300 followers and received more than 100,000 impressions, as well as significant comment and like rates.

It remains unclear what brought the phrase “What's wrong with India'' to widespread attention? However, India's X community has effectively adopted this expression and turned it into a trend that suits their interests.
