I dont agree with everything this Dr. Murthy is saying but what is the harm in learning the local language and being sensitized to the local culture? If I live in Karnataka I should make an attempt to learn Kannada or if in Tamil Nadu -Tamil, In Bengal- Bengali or in Maharashra- Marathi, AP-Telugu or for that matter in any North Indian state- Hindi. This will in fact strengthen the bonds of national unity and will not lead to excessive regionalism. It will also help mute the feeling that Hindi is being foisted on people by virtue of it being spoken by more people in North India.
