Facebook Farmers Petition For India Flag

indiaAre you a Facebook farmer? If you are, is your country flag “flying high” on your territory?

A massive group of Farmville players can’t have their flag displayed because well, it’s not available.

According to BBC, more than 21,000 Indian farmers signed a petition via Facebook Cause, requesting Zygna to make their flag present on Farmville. This has since triggered other players to request for their own flags to be added as well.

Catch the highlights below:

Farmville logo“…users would even be prepared to pay to be able to use their flag, while on a Zynga community forum, another said a large number of Indians played the game and were disappointed by the missing flag.”

“The campaign has inspired other players to request that their flags are also added. Ankush Deshpande is one of those co-ordinating efforts online to persuade Zynga to add the Indian flag. He said Farmville’s developers had “insulted” India by ignoring the demand.”

So, is your flag missing on Farmville? Let us know via the comment box.
