Adarsh Liberal (an Ideal Liberal) is a sarcastic term used on social media in India to describe any person who opposes the hardcore Hindu extremism. The term came to be used on social media after the term Bhakt became popular to describe a person who blindly supports the policies of the Modi Government. According to a poster released on social media, Adarsh Liberal is "someone who goes on an expensive holiday to discuss and understand poverty", and a person who "supports PETA but eats chicken", "shifts goalposts if losing arguments", "questions Hindu mythology to become secular" etc. It is a minor alteration of the old term Adarsh Balak which is used to make fun of Indian liberals.
