‘Yo Aurangzeb So Noble’ could hands-down be the most hilarious trend on Twitter in a long while

A review of Audrey Truschke's book on Aurangzeb gave birth to this hilarious trend and now we all know how much Twitter loves the Mughal ruler.

Twitter is one source of sarcasm, entertainment and wit you can count on at any given point in time. So, author and scholar Audrey Truschke wrote a book on Aurangzeb, which was fine until she put it on Twitter and a few reviews appeared urging people to go read it. Soon after all the sarcasm available on the face of this Earth was unleashed onto the Mughal ruler we all love to hate.
