aren't you the person who tried to explain the southern indian position on hindi to the northindians here, and whined pathetically for many months about how much southern indians suffered under hindi "imposition," in order to enable the northindians to understand your difficulties?

what do you want to explain? what do you want them to understand? that you are free to speak, write, read, think, dress, and eat any way you like? you want to "explain" that to the citizens and leaders of a free, democratic, multicultural, multilingual nation?

the appropriate response to the directive to reply in hindi is: "spiki no northindian; write in thamizh (telugu, etc.), and you'll receive a reply."

may the anus be on you, uppusaamy gowNDer, rishi, idefix, kishTiangirl maria, kris, bw, impediamma, and max.

yes ms.kaNNagi, you are the only chaste one here. i don't think anybody on your list voluntarily went seeking hindi lessons for their offspring.

Comrade - Hindi is not the national language. It is the official language of the Federal government in India.

I know that in fact I had to explain that to at least 3 north indians in last 10 days.

Article 343 of the Indian Constitution:

You are all for not abolishing Article 370, but a 180 degree turn on article 343?

It is a common sense thing, just because laundry detergent does a great job of washing linen you don't use it to wash your hair, would you?

Rajiv did not take responsibility for the 8,000 sikhs that he killed and neither did his family members....

so why should Modi ?
Discussion is about Modiji, we will talk about Rajiv when he tries to impose Hindi as Modiji is doing right now.

Then you should have stuck to Hindi and not brought the usual Godhra Lesson to Muslims for the Nth time.

Let me repeat, comparison with Rajiv is not valid because he didn't impose Hindi. In any case, only a dumba$$ would try to do that, as it will force non-hindi speaking regions/Indians to secede.

Indian PM's push for Hindi struggles to translate in some states

"In Odisha, a member of the state assembly was chastised this week for using Hindi during the question hour. The speaker of the house ordered Kengam Surya Rao to make statements only in English or the local language, Odia. Anti-Hindi protests in India date back to before the country gained independence in 1947 from former colonial ruler Britain."

it will be a debate subject so long as there are politicians who want to push it as the "rashtrabasha". this goes to show that the fanaticism about pushing hindi cuts across party lines. in fact it has nothing to do with party affiliation but everything to do with northindian fanticism and toadyism on the part of some southern indians. modi has to decide if the battle over this and the ensuing pain is worth it. he is gambling on the idea that memories of the '60s are gone. you are right that it may make for some strange bedfellows should he decide to push it. i can see a prominent modi opponent on this board already having wet dreams about this.

this may end up reuniting the long riven kazhagams. should make for interesting politics. we'll see what happens.

Memo to Modi: Being Indian shouldn't mean Hindi chauvinism: R Jagannathan

The Modi government is sailing dangerously close towards igniting a language divide where there is none.

A few weeks ago, the Prime Minister made a welcome break from the past when he decided to speak in Hindi to foreign leaders – an assertion of his own Indian-ness and an entirely justifiable personal decision. Leaders should speak in the language they are most comfortable in.

What we need is not Hindi or regional language chauvinism, but a more people-friendly language policy which recognises that the purpose of language is communication – and communication has to happen in multiple languages and formats in the modern, globalised era.

The Modi government would thus be well-advised not to privilege Hindi over other Indian languages or even English, even though there is nothing wrong in tweeting in any language. In fact, it should start tweeting in all official Indian languages – starting with the big ones like Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and Tamil.
