[IAC#RG] Fwd: IMPOSITION OF HINDI ON NON HINDI SPEAKING STATES

I think it is sheer fear mongering to say that "The genuine fear of the people in the non Hindi speaking states is that they would be reduced to second class citizens in the country  if Hindi would be imposed , as those speaking Hindi will get distinct advantage over the non Hindi speaking people at the national level."

I have travelled extensively in Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu, and I have found that one can get by much better with knowledge of a smattering of Hindi rather than knowledge of only English. Hindi is still the link language of the common man, and not English which is common only amongst the educated lot.

And what about the lots and lots of people from the Southern states who migrate for work to the Northern states? They pick up the local lingo pretty fast.

India is a vast land, and I think this kindling of anti-Hindi feelings is anti-National, and should be discouraged. We have much more pressing problems to solve than to rake up new ones!

It is human psychology to resist anything that is imposed, while we go after, paying through our nose, to do things we like, like learning  fro e.g., Russian to work under a a Russian boss or marry a Russian lady. That is the subtle difference. Democracy is about the majority opinion, but minorities too need attention.

It is surprising that those in charge of policy making in NDA  government do not understand the intensity of the anger and frustration  amongst the people in the non Hindi states due to the subtle attempts of Modi government to gradually impose Hindi. 

The genuine fear of the people in the non Hindi speaking states is that they would be reduced to second class citizens in the country  if Hindi would be imposed , as those speaking Hindi will get distinct advantage over the non Hindi speaking people at the national level.

Mr. Naredndra Modi does not seem to be aware of the  intense and popular anti Hindi agitation in non Hindi speaking states particularly in Tamil Nadu, when Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri was the Prime Minister.  Schools and colleges had to remain closed for around three months in Tamil Nadu due to anti Hindi  protest by the students. Finally, Mr. Shastri had to give an assurance that Hindi would not be made national language so long as non Hindi speaking people would not want it. The situation has not much changed as far as the imposition of Hindi is concerned.

Today, India has enough problems and there is no feelings of difference in the country on  language issue. Mr. Narendra Modi  should not create new issues by trying to impose Hindi.

Even today, many people in non Hindi speaking states , particularly in Tamil Nadu , feel like aliens as they do not understand Mr. Modi speaking Hindi everywhere without any translators. When he spoke in Hindi to the school children on Teacher's Day , lakhs of school students in non Hindi speaking states felt left out and wondered  as to whether the Prime Minister belong to  Hindi knowing people only.
