Poll on Hindi speakers by South Indians

Rashmun wrote:I just wanted to tell my South Indian brothers and sisters and friends that it is not acceptable for them to select a term for Hindi speakers. It is Hindi speakers who have the right to select this term for themselves.
For example, UPites might want to change the name of Hyderabad to something else. Would that be acceptable to APites, in particular Hyderabadis? The answer is No.
Similarly, it is Hindi speakers who get to select the term by which they are to be referred as.

Rashmun: In another thread of yours, you STATED CATEGORICALLY that the name HINDI was given by SOUTH INDIANS.

By your own admission, the precedence has been set.

It is therefore appropriate for southern indians to choose the term, not hindi speakers. You can't have it both ways!

As he cannot respond to the points people have raised on his thread, he feels compelled to copy-paste random news articles with the names of southern Indian states in the title. I suppose those copy-pastes make him feel like he has accomplished his day's quota of kicking middle-parted heads.
