Biryani petition: Netizens on mission to turn emotion into emoticon

While pizza, taco, and burger have already made to the emoticon list, biryani lovers now want an emoticon for the dish and have started an online campaign for the same. MTV India wrote an online petition on behalf of personified biryani saying it has been 'wronged'. The campaign, ever since it was started, received a massive response from people across India.

Biryani wants justice

“India loves me so much that now there’s even a stamp in my honor...But I’m the victim of a greater dishonor. I still don’t have an emoticon. My western cousins - pizza, taco and burger - have been part of your chats since forever. But, even after being one of the most sought after dishes in the country, I feel like I don’t truly belong,” read the petition.

“I am biryani, the country’s greatest emotion, but unfortunately not an emoticon. It’s up to you to change that! Fight for me, fight for your love. Sign the petition and help me become an emoticon!” it further read. According to the petition, MTV India will feed one child from their partner NGO Robinhood Army for every 10 signatures.
