Memes has become integral part of daily life and they play a crucial role in sociopolitical, cultural and behaviour of the people (a P K et al., 2020) . Memes are not only media for conveying information or disrupting the socio-political situation but, they serve as the main source of sharing humour and laughter. Internet humour can create a logical bonding between people and can act as a common platform for like minded people (Laineste and Voolaid, 2017) . Memes with colorful/even much dull background powered by splashy texts can create amazing sense of humour (a P K et al., 2020; Laineste and Voolaid, 2017) .",

Troll is a person who starts the flame of insulting/ upsetting the feelings of another person on internet. This can be done by posting messages in the online community such as social media or even in private chats. Trolling has caused in one's personal and professional life even (Bishop, 2013) . The content in any mainstream media are closely monitored but, for social media there are no such monitoring systems. Internet has opened the road to post anything and everything on social platforms. Offensive content memes are spreading the emotion of fear, misguided phobia and they are misleading the population as they spend most of their time on the internet (Suryawanshi et al., 2020a) .",

Bishop (2013) discussed the application of criminal procedure over the internet bully's and insulting one's feelings over the internet. Memes not only contain text data, but the visual appearance should also be considered, Smitha et al. (2018) proposed a technique to extract text data from images and analysing the emotions on the image and later classifying them into one of the 6 predefined classes, and they concluded that the work helps to understand the behaviour of the community and information for any further data analysis (Smitha et al., 2018) . Suryawanshi et al. (2020b) observed that the offensive contents are not only in the form of text but, they can also be offensive in visual aspect. Therefore they proposed a technique to classify this multimodel memes, which uses a stacked LSTM + VGG16 model.",

"text": "Residual networks are playing a crucial role in image classification. They find a way to overcome the gradient loss, which are a major problem in deep neural networks. Residual networks, which uses residue from the previous layers to prevent loss of gradients due to depth of the network (Suryawanshi and Chakravarthi, 2021) . Here we are using a deep residual neural network based on resnet architecture. The architecture has 50 layers, with which the network can grasp the features from different parts and levels of the image. The images are resized to 64x64, with all three color channels, are fed into the algorithm, which then passed to sub-sequent layers of the neural network to finally give the output. Softmax activation in the last layer gives the probability value for each class and class with max probability is selected as output. We used fastai library, with which we are able to train our model much faster (He et al., 2015) . The framework provides easy to access layered API architecture, which has the APIs to access most of the deep learning algorithms. Pause and train architecture (Howard and Gugger, 2020) helps to improve the control over model training as one can have a look at loss, accuracy and other parameters. Manual early stopping mechanism helps to monitor the model improvement easily (Howard and Gugger, 2020) which is integrated as a part of fastai library, which employs cycle training that allows to monitor each cycle and freeze the weights if required.",
