Anti Hindi storm brewing in Tamilnadu

[abjktu]

I was asking a hypothetical question mate.. If Hindi was spoken by 70% of Indians like 70% of Lankans speak Sinhalese.. Would you object to it being made the national language of India ?

No objection..70% means more than absolute majority......

My stand has always been this.

Ask other Mallus here. In Kerala the number of Keralites who speak Hindi has increased due to the immigration of Hindi speaking labourers.

This has increased in Tamil Nadu as well. In terms of natural progression, a lot more people will learn Hindi on their own as per national trends. This is true in South India as well.

so in effect without declaring Hindi as national language you have increased the amount of people who understand Hindi.

People on the Hindi chauvinist side and Tamil language chauvinists are motivated by the same thing. An inflated sense of linguistic ego.

I don't have a problem with Hindi. I do however have a problem with Hindi chauvinists and those who look down on Indians who don't speak Hindi.

As I said it should not be Imposed. But it should be made as national language. Its just a word to represent ourselves in globally. Everything else should remain the same.

So we are not united so much. We are united only in cricket match and against Pak and China


Same happened in Bangalore. Also in coimbatore.

Tks mate.. Just wanted to know a balanced perspective on the matter often times Lankan point of view is extremely distorted in global fora due to it's lack of representation

As a Malayali..we support any other language than Tamil as our National language...

Oh I'm sorry, so the Indian state should be delinquent in it's responsibilities because a few people speak in Tamil?

calm down. I have no love for the Hindi chauvinists as well

The time for making Hindi a national language has long passed. Can't happen now without much strife. Simply not worth the trouble.

india need ONE NATIONAL COMMUNICATION LANAGUGE ..for people .. for nationl integration

Should be English then. As many Tamil protestors have pointed out - if a national language is necessary,let it be a language equally alien to all, not one which gives advantage to a section,

Ravi.. Would you think it's the natural progression of Hindi as the lingua franca given globalization and information technology than actually it's enforcement that's making language fanatics particularly in TN (I dont see any other state having such a big issue) defensive than it is actually necessary ?

It's not like if other South Indian states have any love lost for Tamil Nadu as well.
