Dhruv Rathee is known for his critical stance on the Indian government, particularly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His content often scrutinizes government policies and actions to inform his audience about various socio-political issues.
After winning Bigg Boss OTT, Elvish Yadav, a popular YouTuber, gained attention for his content that often counters the narratives presented by creators like Dhruv Rathee.
Recently, before the election results, Yadav released a video claiming to expose Dhruv Rathee, accusing him of spreading misinformation and having an anti-India agenda.
The dispute took a significant turn recently when Elvish Yadav tweeted a critique, suggesting that education should teach meaningful lessons, possibly alluding to Dhruv’s manipulative tactics: “Education Hi Kehde🤡”

In response, Dhruv Rathee tweeted, calling Elvish “anpadh” (illiterate). The tweet in Hindi translates to:
“Percentage is taught in Class VII… But those who, instead of respecting teachers, are busy trying to ‘set’ teachers, remain uneducated like this.”
Percentage Class VII mein padhayi jaati hai…
Lekin jo log teachers ki respect karne ke bajae teachers ko “set” karne mein lage ho, wo aise hi anpadh reh jaate hain 🤡 pic.twitter.com/fBGYjHusl0

The back-and-forth between the two YouTubers has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans and followers taking sides. The feud highlights the polarized nature of their audiences and the broader political divide in India.
Both tweets reflect their ongoing rivalry and are indicative of the broader political and ideological conflicts playing out in the digital space. As both continue to engage in this public spat, it remains to be seen how it will impact their reputations and influence among their followers.
