Big B doesn't need to prove his loyalty
by Parth Mehta on Apr 07, 2008 10:41 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What a time this has been for India where Political Parties are springing up like Mushrooms everyday. I pitty Big B for being falsely targeted to such an extent that this noble man had to come out in media and speak in Marathi just to prove his loyalty because of some stupid politician who want to get political mileage and get some votes from the people. We have already faced Racism in the British Rule. Religious conflict often occur in India. Casteism still exists in India and just now people are becoming more aware and trying to get away from Casteism, this new thing has jumped up, Regonalism. People who support these things should think, where are we heading now. I have seen some South Indians who are very good friend of mine who don't speak or even understand Hindi at all because they have never been taught Hindi. I read some of the comments on CNN-IBN forums which states that some south indians still don't consider Hindi as a national language. Being a Gujarati, I love speaking Gujarati but I don't have any problem speaking Hindi or English if understands only these two. Move ahead people, forget about Aryans and Dravidians. Forget about the religions. Forget about the castes. Start leaving in Harmony. Help each other and respect each other. That is the way India is going to be a superpower. That is the way to prosperity and development and if there are prosperity and development, people don't even have the time to think about these rubbish mentality. Be happy.

absolutely perfect
today the world is looking at india reason unity in diversity
who are these people who says hindi bhashis or marathi or anything else
if u r a indian then behave like a indian
we are indian then we love human not the bhasha
if someone is good to you then be good with him thats it simple rule
arey what is there if some biharis come to maharastra and work, any how we need resources
are we not going to anyother state infact we created a little india in US and UK
every corner of the world indians are there
so what is the problem being within the country
just think today u say marathi or tamil or else
tomorrow u say vidharbha telangana and then later worli bandra mahalakshmi
so that means only division
my humble request to people and politicians instead of creating unnecessary regionalism just
why can sit with each govermnet and created jobs in entire country develop each state slowly
instead of investing in big cities create infrastructure in small cities of each cities
how hyd bangalore gurgaon and many more
cities developed now develop the other cities
thats it
be good be human thats it

Dear Parth Mehta,

The true regionalists are some of these Hindi-Bhashis.

Despite staying in non-Hindi speaking states for many years, they refuse to learn the local language there. They think the local language, people and culture are inferior to Hindi.

Thats the bloody problem. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that non-Hindi languages have been given equal right to Hindi as per the Constitution.

I am not targeting South Indian or North Indians here. I just gave an example of South Indians. If the Hindi-Bhashis don't give respect to other languages, they are equal culprits in that case. The bottom line is we are Indians first.
