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

Dear Shri Krishnan and Friends:

I am very clear and proud of the fact that all the native languages of India be treated as National Languages. However, we shall have to develop a synthesis of these languages as the medium for our communication among ourselves. Hindi is not a language of any particular state and emerged as a synthesis of several languages like Punjabi, Hariyanvi, Gujrati, Marathi,Bundel, Brij, Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Maithil, Chhattisgarhi etc etc.  If it could also incorporate useful character of Tamil, Telugu, Malyali and Kannada it could yet be considered as the medium of communication but no argument can replace the established national languages that we are blessed with as heritage.

It is the zest of Hindi chauvists like Shri Abrol that will result in the division and destruction of our nation. Can he show a single village in the south,east or north-east where Hindi is spokeen .In the days of the colinialists and invaders,the official language they used were  Persian,Turkish,French or English.Those days there was total separation of the general public from the ruling class.The rural population generally never bothered who their rulers were as long as they do not loot them.Now we are a democracy.Every citizen aspires to have a level playing field in his ambitions.We have accepted Islam and Christianity,both religeons of the colonialists and invaders.A Roman Catholic was till recently our paramount ruler.Muslims were our Presidents. So why be ashamed of English alone which is an international language and a language of progress. Shri.Abrol need not have to gloat over Modi's UN speech in Hindi.Modi is much more a nationalist than Shri Abrol's chauvinistic mentality makes him to be. Due to effects of Hindi movies etc, Hindi is slowly being accepted by the non-Hindi speaking people. It is the holier than thee attitude and their rush to impose Hindi that will create problems. Let Shri Abrol advice Hindi speaking people to learn one south Indian language, instead of calling all southies as Madrassis.Ignorance and ego are a dangerous mix.

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).
