Thank u sir, for explaining the value of culture and language and its impact on human development.
I appreciate u for pointing out the success of Vijayanagara empire. In their time, all aspects of human welfare are taken care of.
People who forget their own culture, language and value systems and ape others blindly can not have a chance to have good society.
I have read some comments saying that South is not that good or that ur column creates North-South divide. It is more of fear from North Indians. They themselves made hell of a society in north and now cribbing that south is to be blamed. Condition of lower caste ppl is far far worse in north than in south.
If these educated 'IT coolies' go to north now, there r no jobs for them ! Hence need for them to crib. They want to thrust Hindi on South ppl. But Hindi is just one of the derived languages from Sanskrit. Hence for South ppl, it is Sanskrit + Mother tounge + English. No more bullshit Hindi and their bullshit Hindi movies (DON and VIVAH included !!) !
Ethics, Values, Education, Agriculture, Feeling of equality..these should continue to be the pillars for India in general.
