Thakker Sahab, i am from hindi speaking region but i stongly disagree that non-hindi speaking populace should compulsorily learn hindi. why haven't u tried learning tamil or kannada or telugu or malyalam? - these are also in the scheduled list of national languages. Untill we learn & understand atleast 1 national language & culture other than our own, we cannot demand "hope" to learn hindi or gujrati or punjabi. As far as supporting LTTE is concerned, every Indian national has the choice to have independent opinion on international polity. Also do not blame "hope" of supplying weapons till u do not provide a snap-shot of "hope" packing weapons on a boat & sailing off to Sri Lanka.
