Hindi

WHy does Hindi take prescendence over other languages in India. MH politicians should take Hindi out of schools like in South India and we should promote Marathi. All signs in the city should only be in Marathi and in English. English only because we want to welcome those Indians who are law-abiding. By having English, we can welcome South Indians and other educated Indians who can't speak Hindi. Hindi should be banished from MH.

Furthermore, English is not indegenous to MH and India. The local languages of Denmark and Iceland survive despite everyone being able to speak English. Similarly, Marathi will survive. The problem is with people from UP and Bihar who think they don't want to integrate wherever they move because their language is "more" official than other languages of India. Why is Hindi our main language, when languages like Tamil and Sanskrit are more older than Hindi. I would rather learn Tamil anyday than Hindi.

I lived in Bangalore and know Kannadiga quite well. Why cant Hindi speakers do the same.
