Nitin, there are people who force Hindi. Aggression against hindi is essential defensive not offensive. You said tamils won't speak with others if we don't speak in tamil. Then do you think Hindis speak with us if we refuse to speak in hindi? You said that you have equal respect to hindi, punjabi, sanskrit. why not others? Please understand that no language should dominate the other. I wonder if you know that if Hindi takes over, the regional language dies - as it is happening to the regional language of Punjab - Gurumukhi.
