Isn't Hindi a national language? - Page 2

Hindi is communicating language. It is no more national language. Hindi can be called sampark bhasha

and yes its true.

At the earlier stages of me learning Hindi, i used Tu Tadak too.

My (hindi speaking) freinds always corrected me whenever i talked that way.

But My views on Sreesanth is that he was wrong in using Tu Tadak way of speaking.

If he was speaking that way towards everyone then we could have given him a benefit of doubt.

But to Dipika and Neha he used to talk with respect.

That means he knows how to speak with respect and how to speak with Tu Tadak.

Sree's wife was right Respect is give and take.

But if Sreesant won't give respect to Saba and Somi, how could she expect her huspand will get respect from them.

He knows how to talk respectfully and he chose who to talk respectfully and whom to not.

I guess because even if they were raised in England Hindi is either their other tongue or pretty much close to Hindi whereas in the case of the latter, their mother tongues belong to an entirely different language family altogether and have NOTHING in common with Hindi.

Regardless, the South Indians would rather speak in english than in another indian language. Afterall, one would think that their constant and looong exposure to Bollywood (prabhudeva) and indian tv shows in Mumbai (Sreesanth) that they would make more of an effort as they are already multilingual. Yet a gujju like upen was criticized mercilessly even though he wasn't even born in India. look at how Katrina Kaif was also taunted initially.

my take on this is that when he is talking to Neha or Dipika, he is calm. he is able to construct sentences correctly.

But when Surbhi, Romil, Saba, somi approach Shree, they are arguing with him and it that case it maybe difficult for him to think and respond in hindi.
