Internet celebrates Pradhan’s passing with viral memes
Social media users have reworked several iconic Bollywood scenes to reflect the latest political developments.
Popular meme formats from films like Welcome, Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri and Golmaal were widely shared, with users replacing the original dialogues with references to Pradhan’s resignation.
Reaction GIFs of people dancing, celebrating and expressing disbelief also began to circulate quickly, filling timelines across platforms.
Another widely shared trend was “mission accomplished” edits. Videos of student protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar were paired with celebratory background music, confetti animations and captions like “Mission Accomplished”.
Several clips captured students celebrating shortly after the resignation was announced, with many social media users describing the development as the movement’s biggest milestone yet.
‘Sonam it’s done bro’ is becoming the internet’s favorite reaction
Among the biggest trends on X was the line “Sonam, it’s done bro.”
The line comes from actor Salman Khan’s recently viral tweet in which he casually says, “Sonam, it’s done bro.” The dialogue has since evolved into one of the internet’s favorite reaction memes, often used when a long-awaited task or goal is finally achieved.
After Pradhan’s resignation, users were quick to adopt the phrase to mark what many described as the fulfillment of one of the protesters’ key demands.
The phrase soon appeared in thousands of posts, memes, and reaction videos, and became one of the most used Internet buzzwords of the day.
Humor was central to the protest movement
During the protests led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), humor remained a defining feature of the movement.
In addition to demonstrations and speeches, protesters often used Internet culture to amplify their message through reels, parody songs, dance videos, and viral short texts.
Many of these posts have spread widely online, often reaching an audience far beyond those following developments at the protest sites.
The meme-based approach helped keep conversations around the movement active on social media while encouraging wider public participation through related internet trends.
The resignation comes after weeks of student protests
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned after weeks of nationwide protests led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), a youth-led movement that emerged over the alleged examination leak controversy and demanded accountability from the education ministry.
His resignation represents one of the most significant events since the protests began.
As the demonstrations gathered momentum, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also addressed the protesting students through a video message that many social media users described as “Gen Z-coded”.
Instead of a traditional political speech, the video featured Internet-style references, conversational language and a tone that several users said was aimed at connecting with a younger audience.
As Pradhan’s resignation dominates the headlines, social media users continue to respond with a mix of political commentary, celebration and humor, ensuring that the phrase “Sonam, it’s done bro” remains one of the biggest online trends of the day.
