no one should not be told what he should learn. If the Dravidian parties did not protest at that time then Tamil Nadu also would have been in the same situation now as other states where you have to compromise your own Mother Toungue for our National Language Hindi. During that protests also not even a single North Indian was killed. We just fought to protect our Mother toungue and we have the right to do that. If you think that is wrong then we will do the wrong thing till our last breathe.
Also stop lecturing us all the time to learn Hindi. When you are not in North India and when you do not want to learn local regional language the what rights do you have to tell us to learn your Mother toungue. We do not have any problem with Hindi speaking population(we do have a huge Tamil speaking Shah Rukh Khan base here) but we do hav a problem with North Indian who wants o impose their Mother toungue out here.
My Dear Veera Kannadigas - I worked in Bangalore for bout 3.5 yrs. Actually Tamilians are not the biggest threat to you land or your language. It is the North Indians who are the biggest threat to you guys. Le me give you an example - how many North Indians speak Kannada or even want to speak Kannada in your office or in ntire Karnataka? If you ask them they most of them don't even consider Kannada as a language. There are very few North Indians who can speak Kannada but there will be only less than 500 North Indians who can write Kannada in entire Beng
