Anyone who settles in a state in India must learn the local language. Those who do not want to do that have no right to vote there. Let them vote by mail in their hometowns or villages.

all the tamilians i know who live outside TN--in north indian states-- know at least conversational hindi. this is my experience. in this respect, hyderabadi muslims and also many north indians have to learn from tamilians. it is absurd to be born and brought up in a place like bangalore or hyderabad and not have at least a rudimentary understanding of the local language.

chameli -- you are clueless. close to 100% of tamilians who live outside TN speak the local langauge (at least long term residents).

funny how u turn up whenever u smell the word "Tamilian "

I hereby name you official ambassador to the state of TN

Mister I have lived in places whereTamilians were long time residents not one of them wanted to speak the local language or stop wearing the lungi and ash on their forehead

OK ? stop standing up for issues that are not even valid

idiot chameli -- what does wearing a lungi or ash have to do with speaking a language? do sardars stop wearing their pagdis when they move out of panjab?

They can live in AP. But no vote.

No right to vote. I would like to see those who do not learn Marathi kicked out of the state.

You are nobody to disenfranchise them. If they do not learn the local language, they will face problems if they move around in AP. In Hyderabad itself, one can get by with having a knowledge of Hindustani. Likewise for Bangalore. But not learning the local language is showing disrespect to the local culture and moreover, it is in their own interest to learn the local language if they move around state.

Now that Captain P is dead, and the LTTE has been wiped out, i was expecting you to give up your foolish ideas.

Nope Rashmun ,You are wrong I know this fact from my and my family's personal experience

they probably dont make an effort for fear it might then become the official language of the country

>>>> Why? Political issues can only be comprehended in the local language? Are all issues solely language-driven? It may not be practical to not have at least a passable fluency in the local language, at least in non-urban areas., but I don't know why that translates to not being allowed to vote.

>>> I have certainly pushed for meetings in tamil, while insisting my direct reports wear the longi and the ash. I am making some headway and am pleased I may no longer have to speak in english. This fits right in with my reluctance to speak the local language.
A healthy - or is it 'healdhy'- DEVlopment, na?
