Want to bring signboards at railway stations in Sanskrit, fine. Definitely, do it. But they don't just want new signboards, they will REMOVE Urdu signboards in Uttarakhand. Thats not fair. Not even love for Sanskrit, which has similar script as Hindi but hate for Urdu @GM_NRly
@GM_NRly Several states have multiple languages spoken, especially, in parts of South India where some regions that have majority of language (speakers) that is not officially second language but it is NOT removed. Do bring Sanskrit but why removing Urdu. This is clearly discrimination.
@GM_NRly There are 420 people who termed Sanskrit as their mother tongue in Uttarakhand in the last census. Urdu's figure was in lakhs, thousand times. Love for languages is by learning it, speaking it. Urdu is one of the official languages in India. You show hatred by such acts #Fascism
@GM_NRly Often in bordering regions, there are more speakers of a language though it may not be 2nd official language in that state, but do you remove? No. You just put signboard in all languages, not 2-3, but 4 at many places in India. Urdu is eyesore! Thanks for story @IshitamishraTOI
