'Did You Saw Taj...' Tweets Chetan Bhagat. Gets Trolled Then Apologises

Think before you tweet is the new look before you leap - you never know what Twitter may troll you for. Case in point, a tweet that recently earned author Chetan Bhagat more than a few free lessons in English grammar and Twitter's collective wrath. Even though Mr Bhagat tweeted an apology - while trolling one of his trolls back - Twitter is in no mood to keep calm and carry on.

It all started when the Five Point Someone-author tweeted a poll on October 4 asking: "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)". Mr Bhagat was referring to an article that states the monument wasn't allotted cultural heritage funds in the Uttar Pradesh budget for the coming year and was also not included in the state's official tourism brochure.
 

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)

However, what many on Twitter noticed in Mr Bhagat's tweet was a grammatical error he has since called a typo.

For a guy who claims to be a writer in English, that's some really bad grammar!

Mr Bhagat has since apologised for the error in a tweet in which he roasts a troll.
 

Yes I apologise for the phone autocorrect typo. Though I think everyone did get the point. Oh, btw it is Come On! Not Common! https://t.co/3aWSIAzMsi

Not everyone on Twitter is buying it, though.
 

How exactly did autocorrect change see to saw ???

Cliched excuse bruh!

Now, although he had choice of pointing out the mistake in a good polite way..god knows why he chose the harsh way .maybe just to look cool

I don't think it was an autocorrect issue. But you bypassed it like a champion.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Twitter earlier trolled US President Donald Trump for misspelling the word 'heal' twice in two tweets. And once again after that for the same error.
