meta Releases its annual ‘Year-in-Review’ today to share the top trending topics Facebook And instagram for 2021. For 2021, COVID and an assortment of health, sports, and cultural moments and topics captured the minds of Indians on Facebook and Instagram.
‘Prayers’, ‘Oxygen’ and ‘Hospitals’ were the top trending topics within this theme, as India grapples with the second wave of COVID and people reached out to each other for support on our platform. This was followed by graduation in various ‘vaccine’ and vaccination-related disciplines, as people looked to immunize themselves from the virus. However a surprising trend was ‘linseed’, which was shared and discussed by many because of its purported benefits.
2021 will always be marked as the year when India created history at the Olympics. With the highest number of medals ever in the ‘Tokyo Olympics’ and ‘Paralympic Games’, the country celebrated its athletes with ‘gold medals’ which became a major topic of discussion. Test cricket made a big comeback, especially as India made it to the final of the inaugural ‘ICC World Test Championship’. Also, ‘Women’s One Day International cricket’ has been a trending topic, as cricketers like Mithali Raj, Smriti Mandhana and Jhulan Goswami make India proud with their performances on the field.
