The Sahitya Akademi winner also called for respecting all Indian languages, and not just Hindi.

According to him, the whole buzz over the "magnificence" of Hindi is unnecessary, and not knowing the language is not something to be embarrassed about.

"We have 24 languages. How come we dont embarrass them? Why do we tell people in the south (of India) to learn Hindi?" he said.

The writer said it was the way one treats a language that makes it great.

"There is no language which is not magnificent. How you deal with it, what you do with it, and what stories you tell is what will make it great," he said.
