    An Old Indian Nursery Rhyme Video Has Gone Globally Viral For Using The N-Word

    Childhood ruined.

    An Indian children's nursery rhyme video was posted on r/videos recently, and quickly became one of the most upvoted links on Reddit for the day.

    The video is from singer Preeti Sagar's hugely popular nursery rhymes series from 35 years ago, which was a part of many Indian children's lives.

    A different upload of the song had gone viral in India a few years ago, but this is the first time the video has hit international virality.

    Many commenters were outraged, but a lot of people defended the video by citing that other countries lack context for why the n-word is offensive.

    Some pointed out that the updated version of the rhyme was as offensive.

    Others had completely different concerns.

    Meanwhile, the video has received almost 4,00,000 hits in under a day.
