Respect the regions - Respect India
by yudhajit tornekar on Sep 09, 2008 03:49 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

India is not a separate state or an Island,it is an integration of different regions called states,segregated on the basis of language so as to promote unity in diversity to preserve the cultures and traditions of various regional and lingual backgrounds.It is foolishness if any regional leader is not concerned about preserving their language or tradition.Irrespective of the language n religion,it is mandatory for every individual to practice and speak the local language.Though,I am a Maharashtrian born n brought up in Hyderabad,I respect telugu and can read,write and speak it fluently.I never try to dilute the telugu customs n traditions.But u can find a lot of hindi prevails in Hyderabad in day to day use-it is accepted because it is OUR national language n we need to respect it,with out hurting the feelings of the local people.I hope the message is clear-'When ur in Rome,U ought to,do as romans do n speak n respect them' else U deserve to be kicked on ur a** and driven out...

But nobody can force .... neither hindi is forced ....its maximum part of india that can communicate with each other in a language that is much popular than any other .... take for e.g. english though not so much strong language it beats french or german .... around the world....
if someone moves for few months or years .... he may not be supposed or forced ....
i lived for 10 years in maharashtra .....
actually the first language i spoke with friends .......... marathi were always nice and gud people .... now this raj thakarey row ...is just spoiling ...atmosphere ......
i still believe majority of marathi donot bother about this stupid polititian with no ...future ....
maharashtra is the place where i spent childhood ..... i love india ....
