On a positive note, the fight for linguistic identity against Hindi imposition might revive regional parties that BJP has been silently k-illing over the years to exert dominance over the entire country. It’s necessary to keep BJP in check at this point in time.
@StocksTrader21 Both sides should make efforts to respect each other’s language. That’s it.
Also, my tweet was about reviving regional parties. This went somewhere else altogether.
You want to speak your language, go ahead. No one is stopping you. Forcing, b-eating or harassing someone to speak the local language isn’t right too. This is madness. But not everyone in southern states speaks Hindi or understands it. You can’t force them to learn Hindi either. There are two sides of the coin. Be accepting of both the problems. If you want Hindi to be the common language l, the locals in the south will impose their language. It’s a never ending fight, BJP is fuelling.
That’s not true at all. Some are using it to create divide, sure. I come from a non-Hindi speaking state too. Odia is my mothertongue. Do I have a problem with people coming to my state and speaking in Hindi ? Of course, not. I am very accepting of it. Will I have a problem when the demography changes to an extent that my linguistic identity starts eroding ? Of course, I will. For me, my cultural identity comes first, always. I am all for inclusivity but not at the cost of my cultural identity. Period.
Aapko to Bhagwan ji itna bless karenge na Quirky bhai. You are an absolute angel. The way you have stood by me during my worst. I will always keep praying for you and your well being till my last breath. Sagge bhai se badhkar ho aap mere liye. I am so indebted to this god forsaken platform jo mujhe aap jaisa bhai mila idhar ❤️🫂
