About
Ye Koi Randikhana Hai? is a catchphrase and exploitable meme that stems from a viral video featuring retired Indian Army Officer Major General G.D. Bakshi. Major General Bakshi delivered a speech at the Indoi Analytics Conclave in January 2019 and commented on Pakistani soldiers entering Indian territory by saying "Ye koi randikhana hai?" which translates to "Is this some brothel?" Major General Bakshi's agitated delivery of the line became a viral meme soon after the video was posted to YouTube.
