Suppose an IT professional with kids works in Bangalore for 2 years. You will force the kid to learn Kannada. Next the IT person changes job and moves to Hyderabad for next 3 years, then you will force his kid to learn Telgu. Then he moves to Mumbai and Calcutta, so you will force the kid to learn Marathi and Bengali. When he moves to Delhi next you expect him to learn Hindi. This whole idea is a joke. How dare does anyone torture a poor kid. If people love their respective languages, they should go ahead and teach those languages to their own kids. How dare they force this on OTHER'S kids. This sounds like facism to me.

First they started hating based on religion, then it moved to region and language, next it will move to caste, then to sub-caste. Welcome to the great Indian civil war drama that took a short break under the British rule.

If u have come as a temporary work and have not brought any property..no need to learn the language..but if u plan to settle there...u must learn it...I think India should make this as a law...otherwise regional languages will loose existance.My friend,please understand...India was not a single hindi speaking country when British came.It became a country on the basis of diversity and protecting regional culture.It will cease to exist as a nation if it's multicultural and multilingual roots are not protected...as every other state will demand for separate nation.Jai Hind,Jai Maharashtra!

No arguments will do good with some. There is no imposition of Hindi at all the way Russian, Chinese and even English in USA/UK/... is thrusted.
These normal people become fanatics to live in interesting times, exploited by CHOAS, VOLATILITY, CONFUSION that politician will make by inciting fear in them!! They Live in those interesting time and be fodder for Thacrey, Karunanidhi, etc.
