SUBRAYO I am not against anyone..I am an Indian and I respect each and every Indian.I don’t like when we disrespect each other on the basis of language,skin color,culture and talk about dividing the country.Most of us r not giving anything to the country how the hell we expect anything back?Rem unless n until we respect each other no one else will do it.India is all abt “UNITY IN DIVERSITY” n we needn’t loose it

There is one thing I do not understand about your comments: if you respect all Indians immaterial of their ethnicity, why did you comment that THAMILTAMIL’s abusive words against Tamils were “well said”.
Can you clarify that please?

Podgybear,
I take your question in a friendly tone, so please treat my answer the same way.
You didn’t adapt to Tamil when you lived in Bombay/Delhi or wherever you were, did you? Then why am I expected to adapt to Hindi? Why is Hindi any special than any other language?
Actually, I think people can choose to learn any language regardless of where they are. My ‘adaptation’ to English is my personal choice, why should I justify it by doing something supposedly equivalent?

I think yes since its r national language.For eg When you go to someone’s house, irrespective of ur comfort level u try to follow their customs to show ur respect towards them then why not follow ur own house’s custom?Hindi is no one’s language.Irrespective of the belief tht hindi is North Indian’s mother tongue, its a myth.Every state, region or village in India has its own language.Hindi is he only language which can make all of us together.If we can except English then why not Hindi?

I didn’t mean to offend u either englishtamil.I am sorry if it sounded so. Yes selection of language is ur choice and freedom and I agree wit you but I don’t agree with your questions? Why should I adapt Tamil or in fact any other language unless n until i wan it?Tamil is your mother tongue and I have mine but Hindi is Our national language.Everyone should know it and use it with pride.

No, don’t worry, …
No, don’t worry, you didn’t offend me. And mine was just a rhetorical question to drive a point. But your misinformation seems to have misdirected my question.
Misinformation: India does not have a national language. Hindi is just one of the 20 odd ‘official’ languages. It does not enjoy any special status except that it’s being spoken by over 40% Indians.
And I don’t buy this argument of pride with anything, let alone in using a certain language.

Ur knowledge about India is really poor(m not sure whether u r frm India or Shrilanka).India does hav a national language which is Hindi and thts why it enjoys special status.I use it with pride and 40% of Inidans too and U r not even 0.1% of the total Indians population.Using any language is ur individual preference n i care a damn abt it

PODGYBEAR:
ENGLISHTAMIL is a PROUD Indian who hails from Tamil Nadu. I suggest that you please read the Constitution of India and improve your knowledge before commenting upon that of others. NOWHERE does the constitution of India speak of a “national language”; it mentions “official language of the Union”, which would be Hindi AND English (Article 343).

PODGYBEAR:
Secondly, your logic is flawed–Hindi’s status of being the native tongue of the single largest group of Indians does not by itself accord it the position of a national language. If it is the native tongue of 40% of Indians, remember that it is NOT the native tongue of a LARGER group of Indians (60%).

Remember that non-Hindi speakers have nothing against Hindi itself; rather, what they find offensive are the ‘arrogant’ attempts to accord it a status superior to that of other Indian languages, and to shove it down the throats of those whose native tongue it is not.

My native tongue is Tamil, but I am an Indian before I am a Tamil. And by the way, while I can speak, read and write Hindi fluently, I would like to point out that there are TWO classical languages of India, as declared by a Constitutional decree of the government of India–and Hindi is NOT one of them.
Peace.

PODGYBEAR:
I could not understand your example, but I am glad you believe in the concept of ‘Unity in Diversity’, which applies very aptly to India. In fact, India as a nation defies conventional theories of political science which propound that a nation as diverse as India cannot stay together. Therefore, it draws the admiration of seasoned political scientists who specialise in the study of the notion of “nationhood”.

BUT if you believe in unity in diversity, why do you insist that all Indians ought to adopt Hindi? I see a contradiction there.

Disturbing to see the comments…why does it matter what language one knows. If you can treat all humans with respect.. that is what is needed. My god, only fanaticism like these start problems small and big…like the comments found here to gory genocide. Learning a language is a personal matter and can’t and shouldn’t be forced upon anyone.
And knowing the language is not a barometer for patriotism. one could be Phd in a language and be shamefully corrupt.
