HUBBALLI TIMES NEWS DESK
Many Kannadigas are angry at Google because a search for ‘Ugliest language in India’ threw up the result ‘Kannada’ from a little-known website called debtconsolidationsquad.com.
A video showing the search result was shared widely on social media, and the Karnataka government also sprang into action. Google changed the search result by Thursday afternoon.
Minister for Kannada and Culture Aravind Limbavali took to Twitter to condemn the search result.
“Kannada language has a history of its own, having come into existence as many as 2,500 years ago! It has been the pride of Kannadigas all through these two-and-a-half millennia.
“If Kannada is now called ugliest language in India, it is merely an attempt by @Google to insult this pride of Kannadigas. Demand apology from @Google ASAP to Kannada, Kannadigas. Legal action will be taken against @Google for maligning the image of our beautiful language!” he tweeted.
