I would say everybody is right here, being an Indian if u don’t know ur national language… then I dunno what to call that fellow. It’s just like not knowing those two oldies whom ur neighbours call ur parents.

I agree that we should never force anything, bcoz we’re democratic.. otherwise we would be pakistan.
But what should I call u when u don’t care to listen to ur parents. Govt here is like parents who are taking care of everything in ur state. Right?
Yes I do agree that selvan would say that Govt is not his parents so he does not owe to listen to everything Govt says…. but I hope then Selvan would keep his mouth shut when he would feel to critisise govt for not taking care of Tamil Nadu. Right selvan
U said if some1 will give u $5000 u will learn any language… this makes me remember that old saying “money can make a person accept a donkey as his father also”. Don’t take it personally bcoz I hope u can’t dare to do that, anyway that was just a saying
“Tamils are no less patriots than any Indian in any other part of India” If this is REALLY a truth… then I do wonder that what’s their problem in accepting their “National Language”?

I can’t waste time here, but the Final thing is that… hindi is taught.. its forced to be included in books. But is anybody asking u to speak it regulary also? don’t learn Hindi…. but u should learn a national language…. I understand ur hatred towards North Indians… but ur hatred can’t change the fact na…

Growup dude… I bet u ppl will be much happier. Otherwise gud Luck for ur protests.

Tamilans have the right to follow what ever language and culture they chooses and its nobody’s business to tell them what to do.

A blog on the hindi imposition in TN and various issues answered with relevant links to articles and constitution.

Another aspect of TN leaders is their new found nirvana in Saibaba and Ammachi. Many among the present leaders, shamelessly led a procession to garland with chappals many idols in the 70’s Now that the Gods and Goddesses have decended to the web sites , they have found their new nirvana. They will say Saibaba is doing good by bringing water and Ammachi is bldg houses for Tsunami hit. Probabaly their conclusions may be that if they try to garland web sites , which are infinite in number,would require whole of Italy’s and Indias chappals supply.

So they have fallen at the feet of Baba and Ammachi. Where did the all the govt money go ? Inefficiency or they just want to share the dias of development. Hypocrites of first order. Soembody should take a movie on this as if Periyarites are dancing to a AR Rahman tune and trying to garland with chappals , the web sites . They find it impossible and then they dance again to say that they found their new nirvana. Oye!!! Oye!!. Oye!!!. Oye!!!

We dont stop people who want to learn hindhi, but only oppose compulsory imposition of Hindi on Tamils.

I dont think people who dont know hindi lag behind anybody.Tamils rule silicon valley and tamilnadu is the third largest economy in India.Many north indians now come to work in bangalore,hyderabad and chennai.

Tamilnadu progressed in IT and industry only because we learnt english instead of Hindhi.If northies keep on ignoring english,they will lag behind southern states.

Its ur wish, my friend..either to fight for ur ego or for ur prosperity:))

If Tamilians (people from Tamil Nadu) continue to show disinterest or anger on learning Hindi, they will continue to lag far behind its neigbours states and cities like Bangalore.

Tamils dont need to prove their patriotism to anybody.People who equate learning hindhi with patriotism need to wake up from their deep slumber.

//If learning a language that is majority of your own country is impossing a language down your throat then be it so.//

So you justify forcing a language on a people who dont want to learn your language?Speaks volumes about your sense of democracy and freedom:))

//India is proud to be unified in diversity, but people like you shake the base of the nation (Unity in Diversity).//

who shakes it dude? Its you who does that.Why dont you respect our freedom of speech?Why do you guys equate patriotism with learning a language?When you force somebody to learn a language, which they dont want to learn, you are practicing fascism and nothing else.

//Let me ask you a simple question: when a tamilian working in IT company is told to learn German or Japanese because your next project is in Frankfurt or Tokyo, you would gladly do that because you have to go there, but cannot learn your national language.
This is misuse of the freedom of speech. //

It company gives me $5000 per month to do so.In this case he is my boss and I am his employee:))

North indians are not bosses of tamils and tamils are not employees of northies..

I can only respect a northie as an equal.Nothing more,nothing less.

I will learn your language only if I want to do so.I wont do it because you want me to do so.

If you respect patriotism and national integrity,then treat me as an equal.Respect my rights.Dont shove the brute force of numbers on a linguistic minority in the name of patriotism.

Patriotism is not equal to learning hindi.Patriotism means loving india,not hindi.
