In Limbavali’s tweet he mentions the recent insult to Kannadigis from Google. For those who dont know, it was noticed during a search on Google that the search engine showed the language, Kannada, as the ugliest language. The language spoken by around 40 million people in India being shown in bad shade indeed created rage against the search engine.
