wow ... going thru these messages really show true nature of us, Indians. The fact that we just cannot stand each other is proved by messages we see here. Today India has the best chance to do something great and get out of "developing nation" tag, but alas with people like these nothing is possible. On one hand, the hardworking folks of this country is really doing well to pull forward the economy and on the other hand, there are people who pull India backwards. Its like 3 steps forward and 2 step backward. Can anyone imagine kind of money we spend on law and order situations which may be riots, band, terrorism etc etc. Do you guys ever realize that this is the money you pay in taxes and this could be used to give a better life to your own kids. Well, I guess we would never realize that and its so evident everywhere.
I am from an Eastern state and by learning Hindi gave me much better job opportunity. I finished my schooling in one state and then did by bachelor and masters in two different state. This called opportunity. If you want to lose this facility, go ahead follow your favorite demagogue.

just because it favours you to learn hindi, it doesn't need to favour others

If you don't want to learn Hindi, don't learn it. But please donot feel insecure and spread FUD (Fear, uncertainty and doubt)... we have enough of that. People should have and do have freedom of choice... its just that crappy politicians and foolish citizens keep on spreading fear.

You're absolutely right. This is not "unity among diversity" that we tend to symbolize with India. The reality is so different. We always fight over religion, language, region, caste and what not.
India may have developed on the economic front, but it is still way below in the "developing" category on the social front.
