India, June 23 -- A social media post by a Karnataka man showcasing a wristwatch featuring Kannada numerals and the iconic Gandaberunda crest has gone viral, sparking an online conversation around cultural pride, language representation, and decolonisation.

The user shared a photo of himself wearing the uniquely designed watch on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by a message that read, "If you want to know how to 'decolonize' your mind and come out of the British era hangover, ask a Kannadiga how. These are Kannada numerals. No English is required for Kannadigas! Along with it, the emblem of Kannadigas, 'Gandabherunda', makes it more ethnic."
