Solidarity for Tamils & Linguistic Equality From Our Bihari friend in response to Markandey Katju (https://facebook/justicekatju/posts/807666612607220?fref=nf ) Anish Kumar Says: i am a bihari in chennai. i hv lived here for 2 years now and made many friends. i want to tell how i feel about the language issue since it is a very hot topic here in TN. 1) it is issue because we hindi people are only trying to tell the others to learn. i think it is a bad idea. how it will feel if i was asked to learn dutch to be in netherlands where i work 4-6 months every year. thank god none asked me. though the dutch people are known to hate english it is not true. they do not expect me to learn dutch. same way my tamil friends never expect me to learn tamil and always amused when i talk it tamil. only from delhi theres this expectation others should be like us, we should leave this idea. 2) tamil people dont hate hindi at all. i am 100% sure it is our mentality to think like that. i came with the same mentality. but soon apply my mind to understnd it is not so. many of my n.indian friends here still live with same mentality. it is a bad one. also i dont like them calling local people kallu, idly, dosa. it is very racist. esp since we ourselves are not really white ppl may be 1 shade lighter. 3) india is india because theres difference in languages, cultures, religions, food. lets keep that up. thats wat makes us so different and special. theres no weakness in it. lets not make the country all the same. i want to go to n.east and feel am in india and yet feel the differences unable to speak the language. i will feel proud of that. if everyone speak hindi in kashmir and n.east and tamilnadu and have similar culture eating roti dhal and if thats what make india strong u think u r mistaken.
