Not commenting on Bollywood star’s comments.
If they love Hindi, let them make sure their children read a Hindi written in Devnagari script than English. (Javed Akhtar criticises if people mispronounce Urdu. But his daughter requires a Hindi translator for her English script).
Those who love Sanskrit can say that in Sanskrit. Let them speak freely for 5 minutes first.
Rest will speak whatever language they are comfortable with.
Just peeped in because, some pundits are giving lectures on Vedas. Rig Veda is oldest literary work from India. (I am not a religious person who believes these are the words of God). Ramayana/Mahabharata came thousand years later. Rig Veda does not mention Krishna.
Instead of quoting from a unreliable website, produce the original verses.
In Veda, Devas and Asuras are half brothers. Rishi Kashyapa had two wives. Diti and Aditi. These are the children of the two mothers. (Not different race). In Vedas, Devas are good ones. Asuras are bad.
Let us look at its counterpart. Zanda Avesta. Religious book of Zoroastrianism from Persia. “S” becomes “H” in Persian language (like Sindhu becomes Hind). Their hero is “Ahura Mazda” and villains are “Daevas”.
What does that mean? People who wrote Vedas and Zanda-Avesta were related to each other (same tribe). These books speak about their internal fights. (Nothing to do with Aryas and Dravidas and invasion. British thought, everyone are invaders like them in America).
We don’t exactly know the birth place of this tribe.
May be it was India. A part of tribe stayed here. Other moved west (Out of India theory).
May be it was Persia. One part stayed there. Other moved east. (Aryan Invasion Theory, which is now changed to Aryan Migration theory, due to lack of proof on “invasion”).
May be they were in the middle. One moved east. Other to west.
What exactly is Bharat’s role here? One group who followed Vedas migrated 3000 years ago to this land. She sheltered them along with her native communities (if Vedic people were not native).
The one who followed Zanda Avesta too turned to India when they faced fear of extinction due to Islam. But thousands years later. She sheltered them too. “Parsis”.
Many rituals in Brahmins and Parsis are similar. (Sacred thread ceremony around 8 years). Brahmins seemed to have taken up vegetarianism later.
Brahmins and Parsi population put together are not 10%. These communities with no marshal abilities could not have survived in this Abrahamic world without mother India’s shelter. In return, they too have enriched India in their own way. Academically, culturally. financially (Parsi).
Groups with vested interest are trying to break India’s unity by putting one community over other. Abrahamics and their coveted followers, leftists. They pit Dalit over Brahmins. It was so called Shudra (native) communities which targeted Ambedkar. The teacher who empowered Ambedkar, his wife were Brahmins.
Hall mark of India is its diversity. “Caste”, which is ridiculed by Abrahamics, is a most ancient form of faith (like Paganism), which does not impose its faith/ritual on another community.
Similarly our languages. There should not be any hegemony and imposition.
I love Hindi, Sanskrit. I can speak Hindi. I can understand Sanskrit a little bit. But I want my native language to have first place in my state. I want the bank manager who speaks local language. That’s the language locals speak. They don’t need to learn Hindi/English/Sanskrit to draw money from the bank.
Stop emphasising on link language. Encourage employees to learn local language where they work. Simple.
