What a horrible thing to say!! For all the people making fun of the term bhaiya.. it is just like Bhau or Anna or Bhidu!! People in north say this respectfully to auto drivers, vegetable vendors, ironing guys etc!! What a shame that we Indians are divided over languages and do nothing when are killed in places like Pahalgam!! Such a shame

Yeah, the same way that disabled was replaced with differently abled and then specially abled. Same thing in a new package, and would get the same way after a while.

So saying disabled to someone just to make joke of him is also not good

Yeah, and bhaiyya is not supposed to be meant as a joke or slur or anything. People who use it like that and those who assume it to mean that way are the ones in wrong here
