Ghost of Hindi imposition returns in the *middle of a pandemic*.

Yes, the priority of "Ministry of Home Affairs" is to find brand new well crafted ways to impose Hindi.

Apartheid starts right here when they do the "demarcation" of the country.

Discrimination starts right here! This practice should be stopped right away!

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

"The objective is that normally Hindi be used in all Government business to the maximum extent possible."

Why should a Govt office use Hindi for "Govt business" in Karnataka?

HINDI IS NOT PEOPLE'S LANGUAGE! Stop pushing it!

#stopHindiImposition #EndHindiImposition

If Govt really wants to "speed-up development and bring transparency in administration" then it should declare all the 22 Langs of 8th schedule as Official languages of India.

This sly push for Hindi won't do any good but incovenience majority of Indians!

#EndHindiImposition

Do you see the irony in this? They're talking about languages' survival while imposing Hindi over non-Hindi speaking states.

This entire report/notification is a joke on diversity in India!

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

Why can't they have websites in the Ministries/Depts/Central Govt. Offices in all the Indian langs so that "common man can gain sufficient knowledge about scientific & technical subjects too"?

Why do they think common man speaks only Hindi in India? #EndHindiImposition

The biggest lie of MODERN INDIA is that Hindi is the language of the common man.

A lie which is told more than a gazillion times.

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

Official nod for Hindi imposition starts from the office of President of India and the number of volumes on the report of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language is mind-boggling!

There are NINE VOLUMES of it!

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

What's this technical literature they want to be only in Hindi and not any other Indian Langs?

This is BIG! They've a Hindi Teaching Scheme to further push their one nation, one language agenda for India.

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

Look at the last sentence of that last screenshot! If a Kannadiga/Tamilian misses his exam/training, he/she'll be severely dealt.

What the actual f#ck! This is next-level Hindi imposition. This ain't imposition, this is dictatorial!

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

GoI wants to impose Hindi so religiously that they have dedicated training institutes/programmes for it! *slow claps*

Why don't we have similar training institutes/programmes for Kannada/Tamil etc? Aren't we paying our taxes too?

#EndHindiImposition #stophindiimposition

Here comes the big BAIT!

They use "Promotion" as bait for learning Hindi. This is like criminals giving candy to kidnap kids.

An official can perform his/her duty better if he/she speaks the lang of the land not just Hindi!

#EndHindiImposition #stophindiimposition

What more can a committee do when GoI is sponsoring and setting out a plan for Hindi imposition? How much more of a spoon-feeding one needs?

The TOLICS website is perfect! It is NARAKA(Hell) for non-Hindi speakers.

#EndHindiImposition #StopHindiImposition

This is where our tax money goes. Hindi imposition awards!

They even discriminate non-Hindi speakers by having
"National" and "Regional level".

#EndHindiImposition #StopHindiImposition

Encouragement and motivation? What a farce! You're baiting the employee by baiting them with awards and promotions.

Pretty sure, they'll turn all the keys to Devanagari script in the laptops.

#EndHindiImposition #stopHindiImposition

You see how Hindi newspapers get Hindi ads & Kannada newspapers get English ads. Do you see how absurd that is? How's that for equality?

Ads are in Hindi even in English newspapers. Do you now at least see how non-Hindi speakers lose out on job-opportunities? #EndHindiImposition

At present it has been observed the employees are imparted training thru English medium only despite the availability of training material in Hindi lang. As a result, the employees are not able to carry out the offcl work in Hindi.

Are you f&cking kidding me? #EndHindiImposition

GoI doesn't give two hoots whether the employee has any interest in learning the lang but pushes him/her to learn Hindi whereas a Hindi speaker has an advantage in this naturally! He/She'll thrive because it's his/her mother-tongue!

How about that equality? #EndHindiImposition

They've resources to translate Hindi to English but not for PM's speeches or any other GoI dept notifications.

Give me one good goddamn reason to give "greater space to Hindi in day-to-day work" in a bank in Bengaluru?

And MHA approves of this! #EndHindiImposition

MOTHER OF ALL!

Hindi speaker can write recruitment exams in Hindi whereas a Kannadiga/Tamilian can't write in their lang.

Do you see how this affects us all non-Hindi speaker?

This is not a level-playing field! You're giving a jumpstart to Hindi speakers! #EndHindiImposition

Even for job promotions, Hindi speaker gets undue advantage over other non-Hindi speakers.

A naturally expressive Kannada speaker will lose out on promotions because he/she can't answer in Kannada.

If this isn't Hindi imposition then what is? #EndHindiImposition

You've got to be kidding me right now! Scientists should be encouraged to use Hindi? For what? Why not Klingon?

Does GoI know that there are non-Hindi speaking scientists or are they too blind/dumb to know about it?

#EndHindiImposition

What about Kannada/Tamil typists & stenographers? Why doesn't GoI hire them?

They have resources and time for International Treaties and Agreements in Hindi but not for our langs. Basically, they just don't want to do it.

#EndHindiImposition

Why doesn't GoI etch Hindi on the backs of bank employees? Tattoo on their back will complete the cycle of Hindi imposition!

Also, how non-Hindi speakers lose bank jobs because of lack of Hindi skills.

#EndHindiImposition

GoI should just brainwash all the Union govt employees and make them Hindi speakers. That would be faster and cost-effective than wasting our tax money year on year!

Sumne dudd waste maadthrappa!

#EndHindiImposition

Constitutional Obligation? THEN AMEND THE ARTICLES 343-351 goddamnit! It won't be one anymore.

Right message would be asking the IAS officers learn the language of the land instead of this "obligation".

#EndHindiImposition

Can't believe they brag about bribing the employees with "incentives".

Just pay the Hindi employees more than non-Hindi employees, that'll do. Just cut the extra work!

#EndHindiImposition

Instead of actual work, GoI wants employees to waste their time on Hindi handwriting trainings and workshops!

I guess next would be giving homework for non-Hindi speakers to practice Hindi.

#EndHindiImposition

Impart advanced knowledge of Hindi? Just wipe off the employee's memory & programme them to know only Hindi.

GoI should spend it's resources on one-time memory wiping programme than this. It'd be far more effective and inch closer to being banana republic.

Here's my popular word to "enrich" the "Glossary" -> Bevarsi Kudka! There I said it.. Add it!
