RCB's Hindi social media posts spark outrage among local fans: ‘Where is Kannada?’

Hindustan Times  

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru is facing a backlash from its local fans for writing X posts in Hindi in their new social media vertical for Hindi fans. The fans are asking when teams like Delhi Capitals or Rajasthan Royals refrain from writing their posts in Kannada, why the RCB is using Hindi language for their social media. A user said, “As a proud Kannadiga and Bengaluru-based RCB fan, it’s disheartening to see our franchise using Hindi in their social media posts. Some think that this is a Hindi imposition on them, but the fact is RCB is celebrated across India, not only in Karnataka.” Meanwhile, the RCB team has launched another social media vertical earlier called Royal Challengers Bengaluru Kannada which has posts written only in Kannada.
