BTW I also have problems with the impostion of Urdu in Pakistan. Ironically Jinnah didn't speak Urdu. At the time of partition, the most commonly spoken language of Pakistan was Punjabi.

Why compare to a nations like Pakistan when you can camp are to countries more developed than India?[/QUOTE]

I can't quite make out what you meant by your last sentence due to typo or syntax on your part.

The comparison with Pakistan is only because both countries as independent entities came into existence at the same time and have a shared history.

The language issue has not been solved by any multilingual nation. The Americans imposed English and largely still do. They have occasionally given some leeway to Spanish speakers with some public messages in Spanish. The UK imposed English on Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland. Interstingly in the last 30 years, Welsh and Gaelic have made a comeback.

Take it this way:
Out of 100 people, 45 people know Hindi out of which 25 have it as their mother tongue too.
Yes,hence it's the most common language in our country. I don't find this statement funny at all.
Exaggeration is what you do...2 out of 10? lol

I replied to the one below.. read your post read my post and hen lol 😆 ... I lol with tears for your imaginary statistics 😆😭😳 ... Okay given it to you.. 50% ok.. 50 percent can fluently understand (if that's a term) Hindi.. And you say the common language is Hindi that again sounds funny incorrect disrespectful mean idiotic dictating etc etc etc

and the problem is not imaginary my dear.. it is happening all around you.. all around us. may be you cant see but doesnt mean it doesnt exist..

please understand what foreign means.. from the definition Hindi is indeed foreign for 75% of India (per 2011 census am not imagining).. just coz some 20% more (per imaginary stats) learnt (read: accepted imposition of) a foreign language as national language why do you think the rest 55% (imaginary stat again) should also party?

I appreciate your 'broadmindedness' of saying so inspite of being from south, but I think I can wait until all of north accepts it first..

35% is just the mother tongue. 95% of northern/central indian which constitutes more than 60% knows and uses hindi.Places like orissa, bengal, assam use hindi... the only problem may be again only in the south still Karnataka. Andhra accept hindi.. Kerala understands hindi.. the only problem state is TN... so as you see most of india understands and can use hindi... which can earn it the national language status.. ...I dont understand whats wrong with that... anyways?

Imini.. I was just being generous 😉 and I don't remember you citing source anywhere.. Pls share again.. Sorry if I had missed.. Seriously I don't think you did..

Qwerty.. Sorry dear it is not just TN.. Probably you don't know.. I don't blame you.. That's what most of India thinks as they were made to think so.. TN doesn't know Hindi, karunanidhi's political stunt, vote bank yeah go on go on.. Keep imagining.. You don't have data to support unless, may be unless, you think Karnataka is a part of Bangalore Bengal is a part of Kolkata andhra is a part of Hyderabad and so on.. Even that is because it was imposed on them.. Not because oh they were interested in learning a new lamguage.. Talk to me with stats from reliable sources..

How are people OK with a foreign language, English, being the official language but have an issue with Hindi, which is one of the majorly spoken Indian languages ? Funny what an inferiority complex does to people.

Diala-about your reply to qwerty's Post.
When was Hindi imposed upon people in Tamil nadu post independence and by whom? Cite some reliable sources supporting your views.
Compulsory teaching/use of Hindi is discouraged by the law since 1963
kindly have a read of the official languages act before posting such little informed arguments.Edited by iMini - 8 years ago
