Why Hindi?
by on Feb 22, 2008 05:25 AM

I agree that native language and culture should be given priority over Hindi. Why the hell you want to impose Hindi in the guise of nationalism? If you know Hindi does that make one more nationalist than who does not. Why there should be a need for national language, when we say our power lies in "unity in diversit" Most of native languages are as old and as rich if not better than Hindi, so why should it be imposed. Are Hindi speaking people forced to speak other native languages? Indian unity does not depend on Hindi. We must accept and appreciate that we as Indian nation is proud to have various distinct laguages and culture. In this Global economy if we have to learn any additional language besides mother tounge, native language, it should be English.
