  Hashtags play a cardinal role in the classification of topics over social
media. A sudden burst on the usage of certain hashtags, representing specific
topics, give rise to trending topics. Trending topics can be immensely useful
as it can spark a discussion on a particular subject. However, it can also be
used to suppress an ongoing pivotal matter. This paper discusses how a
significant economic crisis was covered by triggering a current trending topic.
A case study on politics in India has been studied over the past two months.
The analysis shows how the issue on inflation was attacked by the exercise of a
new constitutional law over media. Hashtags used to discuss the topics were
scrutinized, and we notice a steep ascend of the more recent topic and an
eventual drop in discussions over the previous issue on inflation. Balancing
the influence of hashtags on social media can be employed. Still, it can be
equally challenging since some hashtags that represent the need of the hour
topics should be given more importance, and evaluating such issues can be hard.
