Dude, You see you are exposing your prejudiced attitude once again. I have learned Hindi. But it is not really reasonable for people to expect me to become as proficient in Hindi as a North Indian is. Moreover, learning English is different from learning Hindi. I am surviving right now because I learned English. I have in fact never used Hindi to survive in this world. At best learning Hindi was a mere addition of another language to my brain. It never helped me in my practical life till now. So don't try to compare Hindi and English.
