Pakistan media says Google throws up India as 'Namak Haraam Country'. Who could be behind this?

A report by a Pakistan-based newspaper, Daily Pakistan, which was published on their website, claims that when one searches for 'Namak Haraam Country' on Google, it shows India's flag.

Stooping to a new low, the website says, "Like majority of Pakistanis, the US-based tech giant Google considers India as a "Namak Haraam country'."

The article titled 'Which country is namak haram? Google gives a hilarious answer' goes on to read, "Besides having earned a bad name on diplomatic front due to its underhand lobbying and state-sponsored terrorism across the borders, India has also been recognized as the 'Namak Haram country' (treacherous country) by Google."

The report by the website suggests that Pakistan media is trying to troll India; however, it could either be a glitch or the work of Pakistani hackers playing with the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

'Namak Haraam' is one of India's most famous Hindi movies which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna in the leads.

The story is about a class war that divides two friends and considering it is a film classic in India, it still remains one of the finest movies made in India.

So when a person types 'country' after the tittle of the movie, Google will show the flag and the map of the country where the movie was made.
