G_B_ Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 hmm i suspect its something to do with the rise of cbse schools in TN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubrickian Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hindi issue is basically flogging a dead horse. The boat has sailed a long time ago. Everyone is learning English nowadays including North Indians, who is going to learn Hindi and what purpose does it serve ? Its just a political gimmick. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jusarrived Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Tamils in my experience are pretty open to learn other languages contrary to the image which is built about them . Infact in general all south states , Gujrathis , Marathis , Marwaris and to an extent even UP/Bihar hindi belt albeit uneducated put an effort . The rest of Hindi speaking and Bengalis for some reason are a reluctant lot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubrickian Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Learning a little bit of Hindi to converse is the extent one would go but I dont see people from non Hindi states learning Hindi in a full fledged way as they would learn English because English is useful for studies and doing jobs but learning Hindi is not useful for practical purposes.

zen Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Good start. There is no harm in learning additional languages. People in my family can speak all or some sort of combination from Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, English and French. If I have time, I would like to learn Sanskrit and Latin.

That stat is for learning from Hindi sabha . In the other states like Kerala or Karnataka, the percentage of CBSE or Hindi language (part of three language system ) is more common. So there isn't any need to go to Hindi sabha to learn Hindi.Whereas Tamil Nadu strictly follows two language system and CBSE schools percentage is very low . Hence this is natural option if u wanna learn Hindi.Unlike in Kerala or Andra or Kartnaka the natural Avenue for learning Hindi will be in School itself. @velu is just being ingenious G_B_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S Don't think DMK or for that matter any political movement or any organisation past hasn't been against learning Hindi on their own will. It's always against imposition .

MechEng Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 People from south find it much easier to learn hindi, but same can't be said the other way round. I tried learning malayalam, and I could not go beyond learning numbers from 1 to 4 or chetta/chechi . It's a tough language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trichromatic Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Bengalis are probably 2nd most reluctant in learning Hindi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who didnt, werent opposed to it. Opposing a language in whatever pretext (imposition or what)is nothing but political crap.

Vilander Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 @velu being a Tamil person i can tell you that learning Hindi and accepting Hindi as a national language are two totally different things for Tamils. Learning English and Hindi is necessary. But accepting Hindi to be imposed in public life is not. Several people in TN actually learn Hindi either in school or privately in Hindi tuitions wont change their political stand to oppose Hindi imposed as a national language. velu, coffee_rules and The Dark Horse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But token protest is all it takes in a democracy. Say for instance mandate Hindi knowledge for all government posts you will see a lot happening pretty quickly on the ground. There is nothing demeaning or hogwash about a political protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
