Here's a look at what drove the social media today

Kabali

Fans' countdown to July 22 for Rajinikanth's movie got sidetracked when a > clip from the movie was 'leaked' and tweeples went gaga over it.

Rajnath Singh trended on Twitter for a while and the reason? His speech in Lok Sabha.

Pakistan played a “key role” in fomenting the recent trouble in Kashmir and it was sponsoring terrorism in India, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said.

Melania Trump

The whole world erupted into discussions on July 20 about Melania Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention, saying it was copied from Michelle Obama’s address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Donald Trump formally secured the Republican nomination for president yesterday.

Today, Ms. Melania's speech writer Meredith McIver apologised for her role in writing lines similar to that of Ms. Obama. She offered to resign, but Mr. Trump had rejected her resignation.

Donald Trump was happy that his wife's speech got more publicity than any in the history of politics.

But he also pointed out that the media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails.
