Bahubali 2's success shows up the north's ignorance of south - Page 19

To be honest when it comes to preserving own language i don't mind people fighting for it considering how i had to and still do it in my day to day life when family is growing in an english speaking country . The fear of kids not speaking Hindi or not be fluent in it scared me and we had to fight tooth and nail to come up with a rule to only speak hindi inside the house. So glad we stuck to it and now everyone appreciates it 😊

^^ That is a great idea AB Ji...to remember our roots😊

I get the frustration. We have marwaris settling in Bengal for decades and never learning a word of bengali. The limit crosses when it starts interfering with our personal lives. Imagine a teacher coming in who can't speak in any other language other than Hindi. He expects bengalis to understand hindi so starts teaching in Hindi, when someone don't understand his explanations properly he tries his broken english and fail comes back to Hindi. Now its not like people don't understand hindi but not to the extent that they will take their education in Hindi. So how is it fair for us to go through this . This is just an example of what I saw few weeks back . Its not our mother tongue we still learn it cus it gets easier we also learn a third language english but how many of the hindi speaking states learn anything other than their mother tongue. They don't have to learn anything cus Government will give them everything in their mother tongue unlike others who have to keep struggling with different languages wherever we go and in every field of our lives.

Thank you. People want to diss on TN, but there was a strong South resistance with Tamils being the most opposed and leading the way. Today, many of the rest of South are thankful to and for what the Tamils did, which prevented what is happening now from happening much sooner.

If people don't care about what's happening in their states and areas, fine. But don't point to South, Tamils and others who are fighting Hindi imposition as those who hate Hindi and those trying to put a divide. Hindi imposition is what divides.

And unless South oppose the 3 Language policy with compulsory Hindi, fight for rights to the education in their own states, fight for removal of special status given to Hindi and all be made equal--this is the future on a large scale.

So go ahead, make me out to the bad guy, make South out to be the big bad wolf. But the truth is only South vehemently opposes the imposition of Hindi along with Northeast to an extent, but unfortunately due to political and economic reasons, NE is ignored.

One day, rest of the areas and languages will be thanking the South for standing up for diversity and a true multi-lingual nation.

Stop Regionalism.

Ban members who are supporting Regionalism.

I am tired of arguing bullshit like this. So I won't. The people like you who support Hindi imposition and Chauvinism are the regionalists and dividing India. To you, united India is homogenization,

I am quoting you only so the non Hindi-chauvinists and impositionists can see how how thick and dense-headed impositionists and chauvinists are.

bahubali being praised, liked and celebrated by Indians across the world is interpreted as ignorance of south?

This discussion is going nowhere. I myself being a south Indian from Hyderabad never find it difficult to deal with Hindi on regular basis.Nor do I found any resistance or protest from fellow ppl in telangana and ap. I don't know how it is being imposed on other south states.Honestly south India being united is sham,majority don't know about their customs and happenings but we know what's going on at central level.If we can lap up English I don't see what's the problem in learning hindi.It only makes easier to communicate.
I never came across any application that has to be filled in hindi,till I came to US.We should preserve our culture at the same time we have widen our oprions.

Hyderabad has an Urdu local history, so obviously situation is different. If you think some people of AP and Telengana aren't also joining in, you will be surprised soon enough.

The issue isn't that applications have to be filled in Hindi. It's that Hindi is the only other option given other than English.

And no one said South India is united. All I said is that in this issue, yes the South are coming together. And you will see it soon enough.

My mother tongue is not Hindi first of all. But can I ask that why it is okay for everybody to know English and promote it throughout the country but not any of the Indian language?

There are so many languages. How many language should I really learn? We live in digital era, where everybody knows everybody. So, if one state's person meets another state person say in some other state, in which language should we converse? English? Because it is the gift from great Britain!

We can use English to unite nation as one, but not Hindi (Once again, my mother tongue is not Hindi) Using English doesn't degrade all other languages of India, but Hindi does because guess what it was born in India and being an Indian it is our duty to love what other country's people give us instead of something which was in our country. English unite us and Hindi just degrades other languages.

I would love to learn all languages, but sorry I can't. There are just too many. Suppose I go to East India or Chennai for a holiday, do you expect me to learn the local language for 10 days holiday? Do you expect people from foreign country to learn any of the Indian language? No! Then we are okay with their English..

If we are so fine being united, why I have been continuously reading 'South India, only SI contributes to India's success and what not?' If we belong to one Nation then why our success and sorrows are not one. India is a country, where I can bet all languages can easily be prevailed.

And the way we are fighting, I don't know what kind of picture of our country we are depicting to the world.

PS: I guess it's high time, we go back to our roots and simply use either sign language or Sanskrit (Heard it is the ancient language). Because in this big country with so many culture, regions, languages and dialects, there is nothing we can do..

PPS: BTW, Hindi is not the main language of North India also. There are many languages that prevails in NI.

I am sorry if I hurt anybody's sentiments

Sorry to interrupt. I agree with you, Punjabis are not Hindi guys (though northwest). Yes, South people don't have knowledge of Punjabi stars, just like you don't know southern stars. But don't you think knowing each other (subtitling the movies) is better than knowing through ghatia remade Bollywood movies? (At least, that is what was my point in the beginning).

At bold; According to me, that is not the reason for hostility (Hindi imposition). Developed states have to deal with mass immigrating from other states. Main discontentment in these states are due to the fact (IMO) that, immigrated communities are not assimilating with the native population. It is happening because of Hindi. Say for example, if a Punjabi settles in Mumbai or Bangalore, he would not bother to learn the local language as he thinks he can manage with Hindi. These cities are facing lot of influx of people from other states. Natives are less than 50%. Hence insecurities (native culture eroding) rise. Such insecurities rise in western countries too (when immigrated population does not integrate).

Earlier Hindi was not prominent in south. Those who settled here (like Marwaris) used to learn local language. It does not happen now. Hence anger over Hindi.

Compulsory Hindi teaching in school is useless.
