India's stock markets experienced a significant decline on Monday, as the BSE Sensex and Nifty50 both dropped by over 4%.

Every sector finished in the red, with tech stocks—many of which rely on the US market—plummeting by over 7%. Shares in metal, auto, real estate, and oil & gas sectors also suffered notable declines. Smaller and mid-sized companies were hit hard too, as small-cap and mid-cap indices dropped by 10% and 7.3%, respectively.

The sharp market downturn triggered a wave of memes on social media, with users responding to the financial chaos with humor. While long-term investors were left unsettled, those who hadn’t invested found amusement in the situation.

Pictured below are some of the Black Monday memes on X today.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
