We oppose Hindi

We oppose Hindi

There is no need to impose Hindi on non Hindi speakers as the national language.

Why do we need a national language in a democratic multi linguistic country?

If we need a national language then make English as the national language.

All languages like Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu are being sidelined and Hindi is being promoted. Soon our children will forget their mother tongues and will know only English and Hindi.

All non Hindi speakers should take a stand against Hindi and save their languages from extinction.

Bhayyas have made Hindi the national language after breeding like rabbits.

At this rate Mahrashtra will be without Marathi, Punjab will be without Punjabi, Bengal will be with out Bengali...

We need to take a stand now before it is too late.

Hey Terminator,

Maharashtra will definitely not be without Marathi and West Bengal will not be without Bengali. I also suspect that most other languages will also survive.

The same is also true about Hindi.

You must be a foreigner since you are willing to accept a European, language as the national language over an Indian one. Pathetic mate. Next you will be calling all our freedom fighters as "traitors" since they forced the British to grant us Independence.

Shame on you.

This is the my only response to you. I will not be wasting any more time on your posts.

English is not a foreign lanugage , IT is a GLOBAL language. So by learning English bahyyas will merge into the global economy. Instead they insist on sticking to Hindi and ask rest of the country learn Hindi.

For a Tamilian or kannadiga, English and Hindi are equally foreign. If English benefits, why care about hindi?

Can you please come out of your RAT hole and see the world?

y to close ur eyes. english is a foreign language. each n every country has its own original language. even ind has so many of our own languages. russia, japan, china, france, germany, etc. all the big brothers hv their own language. they dont run after english foolishly like v indians do.
y to give so much importance to foreign lang like eng. hindi is a binding force for india. nothing to reduce importance of other languages. all the other languages are important n their importance shudnt b ignored in each n every state. but hindi combines the whole of ind except to some states which r vehemently protesting against hindi on parochial lines.
