Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, Editor, carandbike tweeted about the off-roading experience which got an evocative response from the Chairman of the Mahindra group, Anand Mahindra. First take a look at Siddharth's tweet which said," Now tell me, do you think it's fair to the #Thar to leave it all clean and pristine like this? Don't you think I'm being unfair to it this way?"
undefinedNeed some answers please :) For those who're devnagri challenged - Now tell me, do you think it's fair to the #Thar to leave it all clean and pristine like this? Don't you think I'm being unfair to it this way? SVP #SUV #4x4 #MahindraThar https://t.co/DlTXVQ4XYk

This prompted Anand Mahindra to quote the tweet and the describe the new Thar. We translate it for you. He said, " Thar has nothing to do with words like 'justice' and 'injustice'. Whether you put this lion in the mud or join a shining procession, this lion will be the king of the roads."
undefinedसिद्धार्थं भाई, थार को ‘इंसाफ़' और ‘नाइंसाफ़ी' जैसे शब्दों से कोई लेना-देना नहीं। चाहे आप इस शेर को कीचड़ में डाल दो या एक चमकदार बारात में शामिल कर लो, ये शेर राहों का राजा ही लगेगा ???? https://t.co/eTrWlVJFS7

Mahindra also quoted some of the responses to his tweet and asked his followers to make memes on a response he liked. He said, "You just came up with one of the best lines I have heard for this beast... Someone please create a visual meme for this quote.."
