It is not #LanguageRow or #LanguageDebate. India was doing perfectly fine for 75 years without Hindi being a national level divisive political issue. It is #LanguageFascism.
The number of Hindi speakers in India, both by mother tongue and non native speakers like myself or many of my South Indian & Bengali friends more fluent in it than their parents, has grown for 75 years without any forcible imposition. Just Hindi's "soft power".
So why? Fascism!
So why? Fascism!
No language in India has spread and flourished in every domain and by every measure, like Hindi in the last 75 years. All other languages are pretty much restricted to their geographies. Hindi is already spreading fine on its own. This is such a blatant fascist campaign.
