The tweet went massively viral, gaining over 13,500 RTs in under a week.
The presentation, titled "Crimes Of Western Imperialism", took a funny and sarcastic look at how colonialism affected different parts of the world.
Rizvi also uploaded other photos from the presentation, all of which were retweeted thousands of times.

Which has been very puzzling to Rizvi.
"Personally, I didn't really think the presentation was as funny. I tried to mix facts and jokes, and used the powerpoint mostly as visual cues while I explained history facts," Rizvi told BuzzFeed.
Of course, becoming a meme in the first world is the least of Rizvi's worries right now.
