The All Assam Chutia Students’ Union (Aacsu) has accused Facebook of blocking the accounts of thousands of people with the name Chutia saying that the social network has confused it with Hindi slang, reports the Times of India. Chutia, pronounced Sutiya, is the name of a community in Assam. But chutia, or chutiya, is also a mildly derogatory term in Hindi: Urban Dictionary translates its most common slang usage as ‘fool’.

Said Jyotiprasad Chutia, Aacsu general secretary:

“Facebook has blocked the accounts of all the subscribers belonging to the Chutia community of Assam thinking the names are false and fabricated. For Chutia being an abusive word in the Hindi language, Facebook authorities thought that the account holders are fake and fabricated. But, they are still unknown to the fact that Chutia is an ethnic tribe of Assam which has a rich historical background in the state history.”

Police then fired some shots in the air to disperse the crowd. Some of the protesters, who allegedly had “sophisticated” weapons also fired shots in reply. The police and protesters kept hurling abuses at each other. Several policemen were injured by stones thrown by the protesters. Some officials were caught by the mob and beaten up.
