New Delhi: If you are a history student, you are probably familiar with the historic battles fought in Panipat or Haldighati, but there is another battle that has become memorable for the meme material it provided for social media users. Well we are talking about the Chaat War that took place in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, two years ago. The epic battle between two chaat sellers in Baghpat's Baraut town market, during which one man with half-white, half-henna streaked hair drew a lot of attention and became a social media sensation. He quickly became known as Baghpat's Einstein Chacha. His appearance was compared to Albert Einstein, hence the name.
The memes from the episode have reappeared on social media two years later. Check here:
New look of Einstein Chacha
Harendra Singh, also known as Baghpat's Einstein Chacha, has changed his appearance. Yes, you read that correctly. He no longer flaunts his long tresses, which made him an overnight sensation after the epic Baghpat battle video went viral. He has had his hair cut short and is almost unrecognisable. After the incident, he became extremely popular, with boys and girls wanting to take selfies with him when they visited his chaat shop in Baghpat. This was now causing issues with dealing with customers in the shop. This is why Harendra, alias Einstein Chacha, had to cut his hair. This has once again made him the subject of debate.
Reason behind the clash
Concerning the Baghpat clash, it occurred over the issue of attracting customers to their respective shops. Eight people on both sides were arrested and charged with various offences, including attempted murder. The matter had even reached the headquarters of the state police in Lucknow.
