A Kannada language activist on X (formerly Twitter) called out Union Bank of India for not offering Kannada language at its ATM outside the Nagarbhavi Branch, near the National Law School (NLS) campus in Bengaluru. The post highlighted the irony of prompting “Select Your Language” only to present Hindi and English, with no trace of the local language, Kannada. The user expressed frustration over wasted time and questioned the exclusion in a Kannada-majority region. Netizens on X echoed the activist’s frustration, with many criticising the lack of Kannada as disrespectful to the local culture while others felt that this was an unnecessary issue.

You are tweeting in English, so you know English. Why make it an unnecessary issue?

You could have just said English and Hindi but you have to use an a derogatory word, “alien” before it. Your fight is for Kannada language or it is to insult other languages?
