This making of caricatures of Kannadigas who can't speak good English has to stop.

Not everybody are privileged to get good English education. 1/n https://twitter.com/DanishSait/status/1311976122859614208?s=19
I have seen many rural candidates who have good knowledge of the work they do, but fail just because they think they are not good English speakers. 2/n
Howard making fun of Raj Kuthrapali in TBBT is understandable. But our own people making fun of 60% population who can't speak good English and making it a stereotype, bad. 3/n
Remember, every time you laugh at such a joke, you are internalising a false notion that English is the foremost requirement for success in the present world. 4/n
Danish Sait is not a Kannadiga, he will make fun of Kannadigas who can't speak good English. He has successfully made a caricature of 'quintessential Kannadiga speaking English in a local accent'- Nograj. 5/n
I have seen North Indians, Tamilians calling Kannadigas who can't speak good English- Nograj, I know of candidates being rejected for being the 'Nograj' type. 6/n
I hope Kannadigas will stop laughing at such attempts to make caricature of our own people in the name of entertainment. 7/n
