Netizens react to the viral video.

One user wrote, “Now, leave him alone, guys. He made a mistake, and he realized it. I hope everyone tries their bit to respect the regional languages and culture when they are visiting or make it their home.” Another wrote, “Can’t we just get along and talk in English if we don’t have a common language? English is a far better tool to communicate. The reality is without English, you won’t get a decent job in other states.” A third user commented, “Wait till the same thing happens to people from your state. Then it won’t be a joke anymore.”
