HINDI IS NOT THE ONLY NATIONAL LANGUAGE
by bharath raj on Feb 09, 2007 02:47 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Please refer back to the Indian constitution. Hindi is the official language for oral communication, while english is the same for written communication, according to the Indian constitution. As far as national language is concerned, India has 15 of them, of which Kannada is one and Hindi is also another. As far as North Indians in Bangalore are concerned, I would appreciate it if you were to first stop saying "kannad" and "karnatak". It's "kannada and karnataka". Let's not fight among ourselves. Everyone is doing their best for the country.

Hindi is not the national language but it is an indian language that both north indians like me and south indians from karnatak know. Since we both know this language, we dont need to learn kannad

I think its luxury given 2 u by people of KA that makes u think like this.Its hi time U people r awaken up and shown the way.Seeing all this now v people of KA feel wat TN has done with Hindi is rt. When v can learn 3 languages(living) & u learn only 2 is that not discrimination. U people r majority does'nt mean u can impose ur language on the rest.It seems these people have take us for granted. KA, awake. These people r simply taking us for a ride. Do'nt 2 try 2 enjoy that.Wake up.
