@@kumarmanishone no she is trying to tell hindi population have to learn third language which is not similar to hindi in any means , if have 3 language policy. Or Have to have two language policy of mother tongue and English, equal disadvantage for all people. If English removed and only hindii there all above language population you mentioned have to learn two languages this will lead to giveup the native language or mother tongue and only hindii will be learned . It's well designed policy to make only hindii and it's people to win and other to lose , lose not only a few it lead to lose of language, thier own distinct identity and lot. Especially lose of an lagacy survived through Mughals and lose in sense of honor. And hindi population have greater advantage and you other lingo north have greater disadvantage and serious cripple.

Leave the country and that language helps you survive, learn technology, code etc. If north is that keen on southern states learning Hindi then they need to be the pioneer of technological innovations where so many new jobs are created. Maybe develop some new powerful programming languages that uses Hindi or be the pioneer in AI. This will automatically make southern states learn Hindi also, for the sake of survival, without even imposing it to them. But all the innovations they won't do.

Kids will be forced to learn Hindi so it is an INDIRECT IMPOSITION 3 language policy is not needed in schools. If those who want to learn 3rd language let them learn outside school. Keeping only 2 languages Mother Tongue and Link language (English). Learning Mother tongue and Hindi is not going to get one a job in South who is working with workers who know local language and English. English is needed because some companies do international dealings (economy growth) for which English is mandatory Now, if Central ministers really want 3 language policy... then LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Let Central ministers learn to read/write English and one of the south Indian languages first. People whose mother tongue is in Devanagari script (Northern states) CAN easily learn Hindi People whose mother tongue is in Dravidian script (Southern states) CANNOT easily learn Hindi. Hence as a part of 3 language policy, north state school should make one of the Dravidian languages mandatory. This will bring equality of India’s great classical languages across India.

Any North Indian, for generations, can live comfortably in South without caring to learn even a syllable of South languages. I don't suppose that any South Indian can make their stay in North even for a day without having to understand and speak Hindi. Let's all understand that every language is unique and sweet. I request the Centre not to insist for any particular language. After all English is not triggering any problem in communication. No one, across the globe, can wish away English.

Indonesia would be a good example in this. Their national language is derived from ethnic language but it is evolved into a new languages with lot influences coming from Sanskrit, dutch and Portuguese. So it is become a lingua franca in the archipelago and it becomes a language for everyone not just a specific ethnic group. It is a way to prevent social tension/clash among ethnicities because you don't feel imposed to speak other ethnic's language.

We never insist anybody to talk in Tamil when you visit Tamilnadu.

OH please...dont even get me started on this. I have seen many many tamilians who despite knowing Hindi would not speak it. To give you an example, just scroll down and you will see - Pady Srini in the below comments confirming it. I had visited many parts of Tamil Nadu and people over there refuse to help even if they understand Hindi. When I ask the same in English, then they respond. I mean...why so aversion to Hindi? A person who needs help and is asking for it desperately, they wont extend just because he is speaking hindi?? And when they get to know that I am another south Indian, they change their colors like a chameleon. I see the same here in Bangalore as well...Yes...my own people...kith and kin. There were protests made when the Metro rail station names were kept in the Devanagari script.

I am from Kerala Malayali, I had to learn Hindi in school. Later in college too I opted Hindi as the second language. I had the same questions raised when I was forced to learn it in school. But later I realized it was a good that I learnt Hindi. For me, now I can watch Hindi movies, understand lovely Hindi songs and even talk Hindi to some extent. Hindi movies are watched universally, I am glad I can do so. People who fight against Hindi, I think there is no other Indian language that can be brought as a second language. That's the challenge, unless India accepts all indian languages as national language and stop mandating 'Hindi'. English is western language, of course we all need to learn to be part of the global community. But it cannot be our national language.

[@desibost]

@Curio We as a nation do not need to copy cat any other nation(s), we have our own identity. We do not want westerners language as our national language (or whatever you call) that is just humiliating ourselves. I don't have any issue towards Hindi, in fact for current living in Kerala due to migrant workers many Keralites are talking in Hindi more these days. Even Hindi is close to Sanskrit many ways, that is like keeping our culture intact. You don't have any probem learning a western language, but you seems to hate towards an Indian language ie. Hindi. It's your attitude that matters.

[@desibost]

@Curio Your hate for Hindi language and people is so obvious. Your bringing some stupid arguments comparing EU languages to India. Your trying to create divide by your venom. Remember India is one. I don't have any issue being Hindi as National language and I believe Majority Indians do not. Its our part of our roots, not to forget many Hindi language people fought for India's freedom too. Only some idiot people have problem with Hindi as national language, and its your issue. English is not spoken any state in India as mother language. Of course people do speak as a second language. It's very much foreign, everyone knows where it comes from.
