Well said gopi! Hindi is not needed for TN... Let the rest of the nation learn Tamil. I am sure it is going to gain importance with the IT & industries growing in the south. Let the job seekers learn a south Indian language. I know hindi and I never used it in my work place or anywhere as not a hindi speaker cares to learn tamil. I always insist them to "come again in English". Anyway leave that "pumpkin" alone, she is not a Tamil first of all!
