How Modi’s African tour unfolded, according to Twitter

Indian premier Narendra Modi is on a charm offensive on his four-nation tour of Africa – Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya.

However, back home, Indians are not too impressed, which means that Modi's been at the receiving end of some serious trolling.

From his clothes to train rides, we look at Modi's most hilarious moments in Africa, according to Twitter trolls.



In South Africa, Modi addressed the Indian community in Johannesburg, dressed in a Madiba shirt, the batik silk shirt popularly worn by Nelson Mandela. Let's just say, Twitter could not stop talking about it.

Modi also tried his hand at some traditional drum beating in Tanzania.

Twitter closely followed the Indian premier's journey on a train from Pentrich to Pietermaritzburg railway station, where Gandhi was ejected from a train in 1893 when he refused to move from a first-class compartment to a third-class one.

And then there was some general trolling, just because:
