I have noticed that mostly 80% of the posts on this forum are all in hindi.

I am not saying that Hindi is a bad language, it is our national language and I respect that and also understand it

But this is an international forum where people come here from all different countries and it gets very annoying to see like almost all the posts in Hindi, also some people might not even understand Hindi written

I know this is a hindi show but reading and writing/speaking it online is different than watching a hindi show

A lot of people are just used to reading English even if they know hindi and don't even comment on posts which are in Hindi where everyone is having a conversation in hindi

I feel that even before there were posts like this but now it seems like the forum is only filled with them

Edited by DT as the post sounded a bit targetting!

Sorry
You see our lovely rantara are part of a Hindi show and this is India forums people like to speak Hindi more and I can't speak Hindi either but I can write MORE OR LESS and the way raghunath speaks the gangster language is different when spoken in Hindi so it actually gets me more engrossed in the forum but if you still don't understand anything PM me and I will translate for you

Guys it not about translating, its really hard to even understand some posts, people come from all over and most dont participate because they dont understand what the post is about, take an effort to use a universal language thats all so that people dont feel left out.

Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from

and I think that would also raise the ranking of this forum if more people could understand the posts and participate in them

I dont mind if they post in hindi. It gives me a opportunity to learn more hindi then learning by watching the indian telly 😆 But its sometimes very hard for me.

I kind of feel the same way too..nothing against the language but not many of us know Hindi and maybe this is why not many post/reply to topics.. i have been on I-F for long and this is probably the only forum who mostly speaks/write in Hindi and i can hardly understand most of them..so yea, i guess ppl like me do feel left out...
