Recently, İyad el-Baghdadi, an Arab Spring activist with a penchant for the witty noticed something rather odd about our Prime Minister. He observed that Narendra Modi likes getting up close and personal with everyone he meets, whether they like it or not. It’s inexplicably weird and funny. Scroll on below, but be warned, the cringe-o-meter is getting a workout in this one.
Narendra Modi has serious personal space issues. Thread. https://t.co/dD06ucJYWS

So he noticed this image of Modi and Putin walking along without a care in the world.

And it led him down a path of discovery and, I’m guessing, confusing regret.

It didn’t end there though, İyad also noticed something about this chronic hugger that we Indians have been pondering about for a while now. THIS!
Modi also has this weird habit of tugging at children’s ears, with a look of eerie satisfaction on his face pic.twitter.com/qf1odH3q04

You have to admit, this dude makes some pretty astute observations. Will we ever know why Modi does what he does? I doubt it.
