One such event, dubbed the ‘Battle of Baghpat’, recently marked its third anniversary, transforming an ordinary day in Uttar Pradesh into a historical moment celebrated across the nation. This wasn’t a battle in the traditional sense, but a clash between two chaat sellers in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, that not only captivated the internet but also birthed a hero for the ages — ‘Einstein Chacha’.
The Spark That Lit the Meme World

The fight, captured in a video, went viral overnight, capturing the attention of millions.

A particular figure emerged from the chaos, an elderly man with a distinctive hairstyle that bore an uncanny resemblance to the iconic physicist Albert Einstein. This man, quickly dubbed ‘Einstein Chacha’, became an overnight sensation, turning the incident into the legendary ‘Battle of Baghpat’.
