Tamilnadu gave up secessionism on Nehru's promise that Hindi will not be imposed on Tamils, if India breaks the promise than TN should break away from Hindia by calling for UN sponsored referendum
Pakistan has a moral obligation to fulfill Jinnah's promise to Tamilnadu
Jinnah openly demanded the creation of yet another independent sovereign state in the South. He interestingly propounded for a third nation - Tamilnadu
“In this subcontinent, you have two different societies, the Muslim society and the Hindu society and particularly in this land, there is another nation, that is Dravidastan. This land is really Dravidastan, and imagine its three percent of electioneering, three percent of them should secure a majority. Is this democracy or is this a farce? Therefore, I have the fullest sympathy and give my fullest support to the non-Brahmins, and I say them: “the only was for you to come into your own is to live your own life, according to your culture, according to your language etc., etc.,”7
This exception is sufficient to free Tamilnadu from Hindian hegemony and Hindi chauvinists . Tamils have nothing in common with rest of Indians
stop bluffing - using Non Hindi speaking states - tax, GOI imposes Hindi on non Hindi speaking states e.g Tamilnadu

Wikipedia is quoting the census of India. It is not pulling numbers out of nowhere. You can check the links of the sources.
Most Indians you would have met in UAE would probably be from Kerala so it would be natural that they may not know Hindi. But even then if you speak to them in Hindi they may understand

Hindi a link between ancient civilisation & modernity: Pranab Mukherjee | Zee News
Last Updated: Monday, September 14, 2015 - 16:22
New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee today described Hindi as a link between the country's ancient civilisation and modern progress and hoped that it will soon get recognition as the official language of the United Nations.
Addressing a function organised on the occasion of 'Hindi Divas', the President said Hindi has achieved a number of milestones since Independence and it is credited to be the vehicle of Indian thought and culture.
"The language is also a link between our traditional knowledge, ancient civilisation and modern progress. Our efforts should be to increase the use of Hindi in science and technology, so that participation of all, including the rural population, can be ensured in the progress of the country," he said after conferring awards to individuals and government organisations for taking special efforts for promotion of Hindi.
Mukherjee said Hindi has its own imprint on the fast changing global economic scenario as millions of Indian diaspora around the world are using Hindi as a link language and this has given a new identification to Hindi at the international level.
"I am sure that with our joint effort, Hindi will soon get the recognition of the official language of the United Nations," he said.
The President said it was essential that simple translation of literature pertaining to technical knowledge is made available in Hindi and other Indian languages.
He said he was happy to note that in offices, the use of Hindi in Information Technology is increasing.
The President congratulated the award winners for their commendable work in Hindi and urged everyone to come together to propagate the use of Hindi.

Although most linguists acknowledge that Modern Standard Hindustani descended from Khariboli.
Amir Khusrau wrote primarily in farsi, hindustani and even in Punjabi and he even use to spoke Arabic and Sanskrit. Court language of Delhi Sultanate and Mughals was Farsi but the native people use to speak Hindvi.
Hindustani is even having words from Marathi language .

BTW what's the purpose of posting Hindian Central govt's Hindi imposition propaganda sh*t, for every 1 of your propaganda Tamils can post 1000s to counter your pathetic propaganda -
Those in the pictures must be either forced to learn Hindi or ******** (BIMARUS), who cant find a decent job in their own state
This is much more impressive and entertaining than a 3rd world giving awards to Hindi Pukewaras
or this compared to your Hindi Bakwas lol

Sign in Hindi, Rajnath tells govt. servants - The Hindu
Updated: September 15, 2015 03:06 IST
President Pranab Mukherjee said on Monday that India was trying to get Hindi the status of an official language of the United Nations.
He was speaking after conferring awards, on the occasion of ‘Hindi Divas,’ on individuals and government organisations for taking special efforts to promote Hindi.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said “Hindi was not getting its due respect” and some “so-called intellectuals continued to promote English.”
Though Tamil was considered the oldest Indian language after Sanskrit, Hindi had the widest reach and was therefore acknowledged as the eldest sister of all Indian languages.
He requested government servants to sign their files in Hindi.
The President said Hindi had achieved a number of milestones since Independence and was credited as being the vehicle of Indian thought and culture.
It was the factor that linked our traditional knowledge, ancient civilisation and modern progress, Mr. Mukherjee said.
“Our efforts should be to increase the use of Hindi in science and technology so that the participation of all, including the rural population, can be ensured in the progress of the country.”
The President said that literature pertaining to technical knowledge should be made available in Hindi and other Indian languages.
Mr. Singh said he had nothing against any language. But Hindi was the language that connected every part of the country. “ Demand to make Hindi our official language came first from non-Hindi speaking leaders like Bal Gangdadhar Tilak,” he said.

Wrong to say 'Hindi' confined to particular region: MoS PMO | Zee News
Last Updated: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 - 21:59
New Delhi: It will be a gross error fraught with long term implications if an impression is allowed to perpetuate that Hindi is confined only to a particular religion or region as a medium of communication, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said here on Wednesday.
The truth, on the other hand, is that Hindi is a part of legacy of every such individual who has inherited the legacy of 'Hindustan' irrespective of religion, caste, sect or region, he said.
Some of the best literature and poetry in Hindi, for instance, was written by Muslim poets and writers even though their mother tongue may not have been Hindi, said Singh Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office.
"It would be a gross error fraught with long term implications if an impression is allowed to perpetuate that Hindi is confined only to a particular section of society or religion or region as a medium of communication," he said.
Delivering keynote address as chief guest to commemorate 'Hindi fortnight celebrations' here, the Minister made an emphatic assertion that the growth of India is linked to the growth of Hindi.
"Just as in the next few years, India grows economically as a world power, its equivalent growth on cultural and civilisational scale would be closely proportionate to the extent of growth of Hindi not only as a language but as an important symbol of India's identity," he explained.
It is a strange paradox that living in India and being Indians, we need to observe a 'Hindi fortnight' or a 'Hindi Divas' to remind ourselves about Hindi and its richness, Singh said.
He said, it sounds strange when one thinks that people living in Britain do not have to observe an English language day to remind themselves of the importance of English language or people living in France do not observe a French language day.
"Therefore, the real question that we should ask ourselves is whether we have failed to cultivate in ourselves the esteem of the heritage of Hindi language and the pride of speaking Hindi," he said.
Singh said, he has come across a number of parents who are themselves scholars in Hindi language but prefer to send their children to English schools and take pride in their children communicating in English rather than in Hindi.
"Promotion of Hindi cannot happen merely through symbolic programmes but may, in essence, require re-look into our education pattern.
"In this regard, some of the measures that can be contemplated may include inculcating advantages of knowing Hindi right at the middle or high school level as well as encouraging the use of common man's spoken Hindi instead of language with heavy phrases," he said.
