if you live in the 21st century, one can assert, you should know at least special relativity !! does Mr. Ananthamurthy know it ? there are no musts for existing, i hope we get the freedom to know and not know what we want and grant it to others too.

I am not a Kannadiga.Learning a language voluntarily is for one's own benifit.This has nothing to do with sending the children to English medium schools.Nobody talks about Hindi chauvinism.Everything started with Hindi goons imposing Hindi.Cn you live without knowing Hindi anywhere in North India. Even in places like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh Hindi dominates.People will learn it if they want. Scrap all these linguistic states, declare Hindi also as regional language with its distinct dialects like Rajasthani, Marwari, Awadhi, Bundelkhandi, BhrajBhasha, Bhojpuri, Urdu, Pahadi,Haryanvi and so on.Transfer all metros and upcoming metros as Union territories and then see all this nonsence coming to end.By the by I Have done M.A.Hindi,and personally have a great love for Hindi literature.Due to historical reasons I know 8 Indian languages including Sanskrit.That is my personal taste for languages.But nobody can thrust upon me to learn any of them.
