Why Hindi?
by True Indian on Feb 22, 2008 04:58 AM

A tamilian asks me why Hindi be called National language and not Tamil?
I responded.. why English is considered International language and not spanish/french?
Its easy to teach Hindi to rest of 30% people rather than teaching Tamil to over 90% of India. Why didnt one ask the logic behind accepting English as a mandatory language? Also, if forcing language is wrong, why Karuna's desicion to make tamil mandatory applauded by every tamilian?
If one state should have one language, why shouldnt one country has one language?
