Wednesday was a momentous occasion for every Indian as SS Rajamouli’s critically acclaimed film RRR’s song Nattu Nattu won at the Golden Globes 2023. The song was mentioned in the Best Original Song category against Taylor Swift’s Carolina, Lady Gaga’s Hold My Hand, Rihanna’s Lift Me Up among many others. While the entire nation celebrated the win by expressing their joy through social media posts, singer Adnan Sami got into an altercation with Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

It all started when Reddy took to his official Twitter account to congratulate the entire team on RRR on their success. He wrote that the Telugu flag is flying high while sharing how the entire state is proud of their achievement. While his tweet irked many, singer Adnan Sami, who became an Indian citizen in 2016, called his tweet a separatist attitude.

We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND!”

While many supported him on his tweet and agreed with him, other’s including many ministers from Andhra Pradesh bashed him for his tweet. Netizens’ backed the minister’s tweet by saying how being proud of one’s state doesn’t make them less Indians. While many told him to stop overthinking on Twitter, some pointed out that India’s flag was made by Telugu person.

One said, “As a Telugu person, I have not seen any separate Telugu flag so far. Infact Indian flag was designed by a Telugu person Sri P. Venkayya. So don't worry, we don't have any separatist attitude. Infact most Telugu people suffer with "we are more Indian than other Indians" syndrome.” ALSO READ: Jr NTR Recalls Shooting For RRR With Ram Charan: SS Rajamouli Wanted Us To Hate Each Other, We Were Tortured For 65 Nights

Dear @AdnanSamiLive its beyond ur comprehensive levels to understand what #Telugu Flag means. It signifies our PRIDE. V don't have to hear lectures on patriotism from likes of U. Better keep that borrowed NATIONALISM to urself. @ysjagan @ssrajamouli @AlwaysRamCharan @tarak9999

We are proud of our language, our culture and our identity.

And I proclaim again, WE ARE TELUGU. @AdnanSamiLive, you are no one to pass judgement on our patriotism.

My pride in being Telugu does not take away from my identity as an Indian. https://t.co/Z6ldHw94hh

Taking pride in one's own identity doesn't allay their patriotism. Respecting one's origin doesn't convey separatism. Let's not confuse both.
Rather than overthinking on Twitter, maybe you should work towards getting India another #GoldenGlobe @AdnanSamiLive https://t.co/YZuY1JrZCf

Pls refrain from making unnecessarily provocative statements @AdnanSamiLive - Hon’ble CM @ysjagan tweeted in happiness since most of main ppl related to #RRRMovie r Telugu. Does not preclude our love for India above all else - you don’t need to teach us patriotism !! @YSRCParty https://t.co/yvpPqA3els

As a Kannadiga, I see no wrong. The song "Naatu Naatu" is a Telugu song and it's only fair that Mr. Jagan, CM of a Telugu speaking state feels proud of it. Ofc all of us are Indians indeed, but it can't be that we shouldn't feel proud when our language song wins an Int award.

Dear @AdnanSamiLive for Pakistani you are Pakistanwala, for the People of J&K you are Kashmiriyan, and for a Londoner they own you, since you became an Indian Citizen we are all indeed proud of you.Hence owning and celebrating a success has many manifesations, let that go on.

Arey

U don't understand the context

The Telugu flag means Telugu PPL identity

It is our Telugu PPL who went global

There is no share for anyone

We got mocked over years like Bollywood saying Telugu movies are crap

Then u r not there to defend

Today we shine bigger💯
