What India talked about on Twitter in 2013

NEW DELHI: In the world of social media, Twitter has given people a voice that reaches everyone, from top bureaucrats to the common man. As the microblogging platform gained a greater foothold in our lives, Indian citizens took to its 140-character platform to express all emotions, from anger and frustration to grief and happiness.

Twitter has released its year-in review, showcasing what India talked about throughout the year. In a blog post, the marketing director of Twitter India, Rishi Jaitly revealed the biggest topics of the year on the website, which included Sachin Tendulkar's retirement, Bollywood and local as well as global happenings.

Sachin Tendulkar's tweet "I am really touched with #ThankYouSachin messages. Your support all these years have inspired me to give my best." was the most retweeted message of the year.

Below are the top trends on Twitter India, across popular categories like news, politics, Bollywood, TV, cricket and events:

As the list reveals, India was abuzz with tweets mentioning Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Afzal Guru and Tarun Tejpal.

Modi, Rahul Gandhi and BJP were the biggest topics on Twitter trends in the politics category.

In the news category, the hanging of #AfzalGuru, Tarun #Tejpal and even the #Syria conflict set the website on fire.

#ThankYouSachin - the hashtag promoted jointly by BCCI and Twitter at the maestro's retirement - was the most popular cricket trend on the site, followed by #IndvsAus and IPL.

It also shows that much like the US and UK, India also complements its TV viewing habits with Twitter, where Big Boss 7, The Perfect Bachelor and Nach Baliye Finale were the top three trends.

Twitterati also raved about Bollywood on the website, with #WeLoveSRK, #Akshay2000Crore and #Pran being the top trends.

The post also revealed the big names that joined Twitter this year, including Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Saina Nehwal, Sourav Ganguly and the Indian Army. A photo tweeted by the Indian Army on its relief efforts during the Uttarakhand flood was also published in the post.

The list is a mishmash of what India came to love, loath and express in 2013. If Twitter were the town hall of social media, India in 140 characters surely was a busy place.
