The movie in question is "English Vinglish", a trailer of which effortlessly made its way to my computer screen on August 14th. In it, Sridevi goes to a US Consulate in India seeking a visa and tells an American officer, “My English…weak”. The officer asks her “Ma’am, how will you manage in our country without knowing English?” Before Sridevi can answer, an Indian officer standing next to the American officer pats him on his shoulder and tells him matter-of-fact-ly: "Like you’re managing in our country without knowing Hindi".

Now, if that does not offend you, you have been programmed to consider Hindi hegemony as patriotism, as millions are continuing to be programmed formally in India’s schools and informally by Bollywood. The reason why the above dialogue is offensive is, English in the US is not the same as Hindi in India.

Kv
Isn't "English vinglish" a Hollywood hindi movie?
why are you watching the trailers of Hindi movies? Traitor? Are you giving upon your crusade as a lost cause?

Consider that you are taking about a scene in a Hindi movie your commentary lacks common sense.

>>>The Indian Officer exhibits the same vision as you as to what constitutes a nation i.e.only people who speak  your language.  The further weirdness is both of you opine in a "foreign" language that pays your bills, with no sense of irony.
