Hindi zealots: everyone should know Hindi, we make fun of non-Hindi people

Others: WTH?

Hindi zealots: the country should learn to be tolerant and appreciate each other’s sentiments https://t.co/bMs7hePtkF

You are a racist.
And your app’s interface sucks. Swiggy is much better IMO. Bye. https://t.co/tvKek1fpVk

Did you know,
that M&M’s production quality, product quality went up only after employing South Indians and moving to MRV?
That’s something Mr. Goyal needs to note down.
Also, compare Mahindra ‘before Ramkripa Ananthan’ and ‘After Ramkripa Ananthan’.

This one talks about tolerance in his latest tweet 😂😅😅 https://t.co/lg9EJKeucK

It all started when a customer named Vikas tried to get his refund after finding an item missing in the order he made. A call centre agent cited language barrier as an issue and made a personal opinion on why everyone in India should learn Hindi language, a “little” bit. Agitated Vikas captured the screen shot of his chat and uploaded it in his twitter handle which blew up across the country. It led to a twitter trending of hashtag “Reject Zomato”.

Hours after the issue made headlines, Zomato came up with a public note, apologizing to Vikas for what happened and announced that the employee is fired. However, Deepinder Goyal founder of the food delivery app, came up with a tweet commenting on the “tolerance” level of people in our country. He who felt the employee is young and still learning, reinstated her. The tweet stirred controversy again as many people who belong to the Tamil speaking state felt that Deepinder didn’t understand the whole context of the issue.

Check out the series of tweets he posted below :

On that note, we are reinstating the agent – this alone is not something she should have been fired for. This is easily something she can learn and do better about going forward.

— Deepinder Goyal (@deepigoyal) October 19, 2021

Having said that, we should all tolerate each other’s imperfections. And appreciate each other’s language and regional sentiments.

Tamil Nadu – we love you. Just as much as we love the rest of the country. Not more, not less. We are all the same, as much as we are different.❤️
