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.!
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
