Ask any school kid who India's first prime minister was and they'd all answer "Jawaharlal Nehru." But, Google - the world's most-used search engine - thinks otherwise.
Though a Google search for 'India's first prime minister' shows the name 'Jawaharlal Nehru', and carries a snippet from Wikipedia about him, but with a photo of current PM, Narendra Modi.
A similar search in Google Images has Modi occupying three of the 10 spots in the first two rows of images. He is also in the list options under the 'President' tag in the same search.
This is the second time in recent months that Google search throws up PM Modi's pictures under the wrong search query. The US giant earlier had to issue an apology after the Prime Minister's photo appeared in Google Images search for 'Top 10 criminals in India.'
At that time, the issue was attributed to incorrect image metadata by a British daily. It is likely that the same reason is behind Modi's photo appearing in the search result for 'India's first prime minister'.
