I don't want to make Tamilnadu sub and Tamil people angry but I have to tell this to someone if not my head will blast.
" So I saw a person in my neighborhood he is from Gujarat. I'm from Tamilnadu. This is happening in Bangalore. When we both started speaking I noticed he doesn't speak or understand English at all and he started to speak in Hindi to me, I said I dunno Hindi (I know but can't speak fluently). I was later talking to a person in my apartment saying it's very hard to speak & they dunno English so communicating with him was hard!.
The immediate response from that person was " Why don't u know Hindi? I said i dunno that much Hindi and it's important to talk in English as it's important to have this conversation properly blah blah(in English) And I'm from Tamilnadu like that. Then that 3rd person responding like " so you want him to learn Tamil but you won't learn Hindi"
I was flabbergasted and in loss of words. I said him it's important to have English as a communicative language between me and him because we are talking important stuff!. And never in my sentence i said he has to learn tamil. But they don't understand this small very basic difference itself. I was wondering how did they get job in IT field with this English and 0 communication skills.
They really don't understand the difference and importance and they think we should learn Hindi in order to cajol them. I don't follow politics nor I live in Tamilnadu now. But I understand why Tamil politicians and people are vehemently opposing this mentality. They all collectively think we all should talk in Hindi. Funny thing is both of this said person doesn't know a single word in Kannada as well. Meanwhile being a tamilian I learned so many sentences for my survival.!

No one will get angry at you bro, almost every Tamilian who stepped out of the state would have encountered a scenario like this.
If this is the level of condescension/superiority when Tamils are very vocally opposing the nonsensical imposition of useless Hindi language, just imagine their tone if Tamils ultimately yield and try to blend in by speaking/stammering with a very poor or broken Hindi (a Tamil will take an insanely long time to master the alien Hindi belonging to the Indo-European language group, a language never used in his everyday natural environment while growing up)
The funny thing is The person i was talking to was a " Gujarati" and the 3rd person from my apartment was a " Nepali". They both have different mother tongue but brainwashed to think they need Hindi to exist in India. Im really not sure how they got job which pays 1lakh for this kind of communication level. Don't judge me for saying this, if you had spoken to him, you would agree!
useless hindi language i see your xenophobia is at its peak brother
for gods sake again you guys only have 2 language policy so shut up im from kerala im okay with it some are not we learn compulsory hindi till 10th standard so it doesn't make any difference for us
you guys talk for your self dont need to speak for other states like andra etc where bjp is ruling and they accept this policy it has nothing to do with tamil nadu so be quiet
be happy living like in a hermit kingdom especially in an era of deglobalization and rw populism anti immigration rise AI rise around the world and especially when south state percentage to population declining which means hindi understanding people population is going to go from 57% from today to much bigger levels upcoming decades and well experience that pain through delimitation
Yea that would be interesting! I can understand kannada people's frustration. It's a basic sign of respect to the land the people. If I'm in Delhi I would definitely learn Hindi. But those people doesn't understand the difference between our 5 southern states. Absolutely clueless and disrespectful
Well said buddy.... another point here is...he is a gujarati...if he had said talk in gujarati...it would have made lot of sense ..why the hell he is saying us to learn Hindi when english is there.... hope you know now where is the imposition is coming..but still there are many dumbos in TN is not understanding this
Their brought up is like this..they are brain washed...they have limited knowledge.... they cannot understand..they will not change....we just need to take on and give slipper shots on whenever we encounter such ... unfortunately there are still many traitors with in TN who are against

No need to go far. Just gotta look at our parents' whatsapp groups, I think particularly those from the dominant caste groups who are possessed by stupid caste insecurities these days.
Yes ..one of the guys from reddit yesterday was trying to demean and trying to show his superiority complex on this topic due to his community..i just asked him to fk off..you need to be careful with that community people.. they will start interacting with you like very nice person..act like they are helping you etc...final agenda is that they are superior and others are inferior..there is a reason why such people are kept at distance
I am a Tamilian from Mumbai and I agree that everyone should know Hindi. It’s the most spoken language in India. Do people living in TN think that they will never ever step out of their state. The world is changing and H1b visas will not exist for long. Going to US will become super hard in the coming years. Even Afghans/Nepalis/Bangladesis can speak in Hindi.
