I am an Indian and knows Hindi. I am curious to know how it is offensive or an insult. And among students it may earn some giggles and nothing more. And for South India, which probably has the infrastructure to use a library like this, Hindi isn't even the medium for communication.

Thanks for this background info. I also agree with your assessment - so far its just gotten some giggles and maybe even some extra attention from students who are not always easy to motivate when it comes to math. Its also racked up quite a few references in scientific publications (as its the only library offering these types of easy visualizations) - so it does appear most can appreciate it for the silly joke it was meant to be.
