Hina Rabbani Khar, Social Media and the Gangs of Twitter

The Indo-pak dialogue on social media is never a polite one. It can get ugly and sometimes outright disgusting. YouTube videos of Pakistani or Indian musicians is one such example where they go way out of hand. But the rest of social media especially twitter is different. In the case of Hina Rabbani Khar , her statements on India's reaction to beheading of its soldier did not go too well. The twitter trend started with several news agencies updating their twitter account reporting the statement and opinion. Then it was up to the Gangs of Twitter to decide her fate. I've noticed one interesting thing about this gang - Its popularity hinges on humor and satire.
