										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kannada speakers lambasted the google search giant for degrading the important language of historical significance. The response to the query, &#8216;What is the ugliest language in India,&#8217; was Kannada, according to a photograph widely circulated on social media.</p>
<p>Kannada is spoken of by roughly 40 million people in South India. The Government of Karnataka also criticized this on Thursday and cautioned against Google. Ministry of Forest, Arvind Limbawali, said, &#8220;That&#8217;s something that needs to be condemned. If the Kannada language is disregarded or insults Kannada by Google or someone else, suitable measures will be taken against them.&#8221;</p>
<p>A notice will be soon sent to Google regarding the matter.</p>
