Going by ur argument, people who doesn't know English (especially Northies) r unfit to live in this world as Emglish is considered to be international language & can be understood by more people than Hindi. Hindi is a nascent language whereas southern languages like Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam r more than 1000 years old & have their own tradition & beauty. First let your Hindi brethern learn English otherwise leave this world.

You idiot, while it is true that Kannada, Telugu and Malayam have a lot of Sanskrit influence, their origin is N O T Sanskrit. In fact, they are closely related to Tamil, which is why they are called Dravidian - as opposed to Indo-Aryan - languages (the Indo-Aryan language group includes Hindi and most other North Indian languages, such as Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi). Please, in future, familiarize yourself with the facts before you put your lack of knowledge of the matter you want to discuss on public display!
