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

20/9/14

Dear Mr. S. Roy,
I agree with you that Mr. Venkatarman should have not raised this issue knowing that it was discussed in the past and opinion was sharply divided. Same is evident now with various postings on this issue.

The only change between then and now is Modi factor. He has also clarified that Hindi will not be imposed. But if he himself feels comfortable speaking in Hindi what is wrong with it . His speaking to school children or to the foreign dignatories is also a non-issue.
If we look back on world history from the sixteenth century, you will see how the Europeans discovered North America and later India in search of spices, colonised North and South America, Asia and Pacific nations, spread their languages and culture
 and way of life, with the result that today we have ceased to think of nothing beyond what Europeans want us to think and act.

Dear Mr Venkatraman

This is an emotive and divisive issue which has been discussed several
times before here. Nothing will be served by going over the same
ground. in any case Mr. Modi is not Mr Shastri.

Yes, Mr. Modi belongs to the Hindi knowing group (he knows some /
enough English). Get used to the new reality - "jaise Raja vaise
Praja' (what the King is so must be the people). If you want English
back, you know who to vote for next as PM (even if he is a sex-addict
junkie / flunky).
