WATCH: Indian anchor loses control during show, becomes global meme

In a video that went viral on social media, an Indian news anchor, Deepak Chaurasia, of the News nation TV is seen repeatedly shouting at one of the panelists.

He is seen shouting loud and not giving the panelist a chance to speak.

The reason behind the furious act was that the panelist is from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

This is said to be a news debate on a TV news channel in "New" India.
