That's exactly Richa's point. Despite not being a native Hindi speaker she is so good with her Punjabi. And why is it a problem if Ash is applauded for it? You don't applaud.. no issues. But let people do so if they feel it deserves to be commended. Just like Kangana was for her Haryanvi accent when she is actually a north Indian too.

Irfan Khan being a Muslim did Punjabi so well, so whats commendable about a mumbaikar learning Hindi when Hindi is taught in schools here! 😆

So you are now implying that I am not aware of ground realities. Cannot hold an argument without getting personal can we? It was my mistake to entertain you in the first place. Lesson learnt.

FYI: The court observed, "Normally, in India, majority of the people have accepted Hindi as a national language and many people speak Hindi and write in Devanagari script but there is nothing on record to suggest that any provision has been made or order issued declaring Hindi as a national language of the country."

Even if it is not OFFICIALLY declared as a national language, most of the country considers it as a national language and most of the country knows hindi even if they cannot talk or read or write it, they know there is a language called Hindi even if they don't know Tulu, Kannada, Tamil, Telegu,etc.

I said is a national language based on this, not because it is written on record and same goes in regards to Hindi not being taught in every school down south, I didn't go to every school here to find that out but generally in state syllabus, ICSE, CBSE, etc etc all have Hindi as a mandatory secondary language upto 10th grade.

Firstly, I'm a south indian and I know all the languages mentioned above.

So I can tell you with experience that it's MUCH easier for a Southie to learn Hindi than it is for a North Indian to learn languages like Tulu, Tamil, Telegu or Kannada because it's much much different and not as common as Hindi is unless you live in the South.

Yes, for a south indian to speak hindi, it might be difficult due to the accent but that can be easily overcome by speaking the language daily and with time. However, for a North Indian it's much difficult because it's not just accent but the whole language that is entirely new to them where as Hindi is national language of our country and it's taught in every school down South.

Arre woh...White lie hain...I can't speak Tulu...my family is full of inter community marriages...Sindhis, Punjabis, Bengalis, Sikhs, Marathis, Malayalis, Tamils...we are totally pan Indian and so can converse in Hindi or English only😆

My Dad and his sibs...all born in Mumbai speak better Hindi than Tulu...also yeah the hundreds of Tulus I know from Mumbai are also a reference point. For me Hindi is my first language...dunno Tulu except for encha ullar all because my Dad is more comfortable with Hindi than Tulu and so forgot to teach us😳

Hindi hain hum❤️

Aww. That sounds super exciting. It's so much fun when you are surrounded by people from different regions and cultures. That's the thing I love about my family friends work too. The most exciting part is the different festivals, food and entertainment you are exposed to. Nothing beats it. 😆 Even though, I'm mostly Hindi, I totally dig some Telugu/Tamil/Bangalorean/Bengali/Central Indian/Mallu/UP ite stuff, thanks to family friends and transfers. 😆 😳
