Not now. The ...Germany and France were superpowers. Not now. The country which calls the shots right now is America and English is the language of the world. Learning Hindi is not wrong but it doesn't have to be mandatory either. As I said Hindi simply doesn't exist in the manistream culture here and most people are not interested in learning an extra language. People will probably be willing to learn another language if North Indians learn a South Indian language if only to promote tolerance :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-69954036636681678322008-02-14T14:07:00.000+05:302008-02-14T14:07:00.000+05:30Hey sujai,If English, why should Germans and Frenc...Hey sujai,<BR/><BR/>If English, why should Germans and French concede? ;-) [They were all superpowers of Europe and are proud of their civilizations and histories].<BR/><BR/>Why are you taking the matter of learning language as some matter of ego. Should Germans and French concede? Where there is matter of conceding? Can’t people learn more than one language? Will it hurt their ego if they learn more than one language for their own benefit? If they can’t learn any common language like English, sorry to say they wont able to compete in the age of globalization. Same for INDIA, if people from all states won’t able to learn a common language, then it will be very difficult for country to progress.<BR/><BR/>P. S : I am not HINDI chauvinist, but I believe that there should be some common language which all INDIANS should know.SaTaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491743022888411896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-31539371517579909412008-02-13T22:33:00.000+05:302008-02-13T22:33:00.000+05:30satan:Ok what would have happened if nobody knew e...satan:<BR/><I>Ok what would have happened if nobody knew even basic English.

People can learn any language they want in their school/college. But there should be a common second language through out INDIA.<BR/><BR/>I think you have been to GERMANY, well I have also visited that place. Most of people speak German there ,only few people know english. Ok what would have happened if nobody knew even basic English.

Since last couple of years I have got frustrated by the irrationality, bigotism, hypocrisy etc which I have experienced in Indian mentality.<BR/><BR/>I couldnt discuss all this topics with my friends/collegues cause either they lacked knowledge or show least interest in social issues.<BR/><BR/>So finally I am happy that I found a blogger with same view of points, now u can find me regularly commenting on ur blog.<BR/><BR/>Regarding this topic I sincerly feel that there should be a common language that everybody in INDIA knows, may it be Hindi or English or Tamil whatever. But as majority of people in INDIA knows HIndi so I with Hindi.<BR/><BR/>This I am saying due to my personal experience, I regularly visit Mills in Tamilnadu, and I face lot of problems communicating with common man there.SaTaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491743022888411896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-51915270189197396682008-02-08T21:56:00.000+05:302008-02-08T21:56:00.000+05:30Sujai: It was directed at all of us - who continue...<I> Sujai: It was directed at all of us - who continue to pretend in spite of all hard evidences. </I><BR/><BR/>Well said.
