The Russian girl and her Indian girlfriend became a viral viral for singing the poem Kannada while browsing the neighborhood of Bengalur. The performance of young girls, dressed in colorful traditional Indian clothing, hit the chord online – not only for their friendship, but also for their love for Kannada.
The video, originally shared on Instagram, opens up by touching the photo showing the duo in the last three years. The latest shots since 2025 show that girls are cycling and sing “Bannada Hakki” (colored bird), a popular cannada poem for children. Note to the clip is: “3 years in India. Girlfriend – Classmates. 3 years of friendship.”
Even foreigners learned Cannada …
The clip was later reposted at Reddit, where the user described it: “Even foreigners learned Cannada, what is your apology to spread more love and compassion for our language?”
The video triggered a wider conversation about language teaching, and several users weighing how the environment and school attendance affect how children gain local languages.
“It is easier for children to learn to talk because they are not afraid of the right way to express a particular word/sentence,” one user wrote.
Others stressed: “The real problem is our schools. The government should make a local language in schools so that immigrants 2. Generations learn at least.”
Redditor noted: “It’s simple. The Indians simply don’t respect their own language. They learn French, Spanish, etc., sitting in India, but they proudly say they don’t know the local language.”
But not everyone saw the problem in the same light. One user noted: “It’s fun and positive when she did it alone. It’s not so funny when Guni’s shouting or threatening you with a weapon. Understand the difference.”
Another comment read: “I feel that it is easy to learn during schooling, could have Cannada as an object. So far I have learned 40-50 words so far, but I have no one to talk to. So I can easily forget.”
The more critical reaction said: “The claim, arrogance and condescending attitude to the language, culture and people of the country in which they settled in, despite the indulgence, which is shown by the Bengial, in whose city they earn their bread and butter – it is their hidden apology.”
The viral moment opened a meaningful dialogue on language, belonging and respect for regional cultures in India.
