    We are Bengalis. We oppose imposition of Hindi vehemently. It's ok with us if we learn Hindi voluntarily. Hindi is just an official language of India not a national language. We have 22 national languages.
  • South india has many launguages Ap &telengana has telugu😍 Tamil has tamil😍 Kerala has malayam😍 Karanataka has kanada😍. So our language's has more imp than nation launguage(Hindi🤔😤).

    our ex cm of Tamil Nadu speach: "A man had two dogs – a big one and a small one. He wanted his dogs to go in and out of the house freely without him having to keep the house door open all the time. So he built two “trap doors” – one big trap door for the big dog and one small for the small dog. Neighbors who saw these two doors laughed at him and called him an idiot. Why put a big door and a small door? All that was needed was the big door. Both the big and the small dog could use it! Indian government’s arguments for making Hindi the official or link language of India are as ridiculous as the need for a big door and a small door for the big dog and the small dog. Indian government agrees that English is needed for communication with the world, and every school in India teaches English after the fifth grade. Then the Indian government says that all of us should know Hindi also in order to communicate amongst ourselves within India. I ask, “Since every school in India teaches English, why can’t it be our link language? Why do Tamils have to study English for communication with the world and Hindi for communications within India? Do we need a big door for the big dog and a small door for the small dog? I say, let the small dog use the big door too!” "

    hindi is never a national language. it's just another language as like other languages those exist in India
  • @aravind017
    India is the only country in the world to not have a national language.Since it has English and Hindi as official languages. I think its about the people on how they react on communication. I kindly request the politicians not to make politics in the name of language...
  • There is no need for tamilians to learn Hindi ....first of all tamil nadu is self sufficient...if at all a person going to north from tamil nadu will go either as an elite or officer grade where he can manage with english
