In-Flight announcements in Malayalam in that Kozhikode flight might have saved few more lives. Why is govt. of India not taking #ServeInMyLanguage seriously?

huffingtonpost.in/entry/kerala-a…
A govt. which promises #ServeInMyLanguage should translate all laws in all possible languages used by people of that union. Not find excuses like this.
thenewsminute.com/article/transl…
#ServeInMyLanguage gives confidence to the customers of the service. When private entities try to reach out their customers in their own languages, what is stopping union govt. of India? #ServeInMyLanguage to serve me better.
Starting from direct customer interaction points/union govt. offices to websites, they serve in Hindi and English, They are not worried to serve in any other language. This is blatant discrimination. #ServeInMyLanguage

Some take aways from AYUSH secretary video
1. Hindi imposition is wide open
2. No use of digital India (no simultaneous/automated translations)
3. Non Hindis promote more Hindi than Hindi speakers themselves
4. All those who condemn at political levels ask for Eng, but they shud seek either simultaneous translation or different sessions for different groups at next level
5. Understanding on special status to Hindi at all levels is little less (some see this as an isolated incident)
6. People should abstract these, not see this as an issue with that one officer at Chennai airport or one secretary in union govt office (at personal levels). They do these because they have support from the union govt.

சல்லிவான் கோயமுத்தூர் மாவட்ட ஆட்சியராக 1800களில் இருந்தவர். மெட்ராஸ் அரசின் அதிகாரிகள் மே.பாளையத்திற்கு மேல் என்ன இருக்கிறது என்று ஆராய்ச்சி செய்ய அனுப்பிய இரு அதிகாரிகளுடன் அங்கு சென்று பார்க்கலாம் என்று பார்த்த பொழுது அங்கிருந்த தட்பவெட்பநிலையைப் பார்த்து மயங்கிப்போனார். 1/n
இந்தியத் துணைக்கண்டத்தில் வட மூலைகளில் மட்டுமே இப்படியான climate இருக்கும் என்று நினைத்த அவருக்கு இது அதிர்ச்சி. மேலே செல்லும் பாதையானது கரடுமுரடாக இருந்ததால் மெட்ராஸ் மாகாணக் கைதிகளை நீலகிரி மலைப்பகுதியில் தங்கவைத்தால் அவர்கள் கீழே வரமாட்டார்கள் 2/n
என்று நினைத்த அவர் அரசிற்குக் கடிதம் எழுதினார். மறுபடி மறுபடி அங்கு சென்று கொண்டே இருந்தார். தனக்கென்று ஒரு பங்களாவையும் கோத்தகிரியில் ஏற்படுத்திக்கொண்டார். ஐரோப்பிய கண்டத்தின் சிலப்பகுதிகளின் சூழல் in particular swizz தனக்குக் கிடைத்துவிட்டது எனப்பெருமூச்சு விட்டார். 3/n

TN state ~25K buses for 6.7 population. Even with this there was (relatively little) mismanagement last week, UP has ~11K buses population for 20.4 crores. Locking down a state which primarily depends on train (by blocking trains/ not considering alternatives) will lead to this
Bangalore has unskilled TN labor primarily from Tiruvannamalai district (But for them Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruppur are equally other options). But for UP & Bihar people, only main option is Delhi, else farway MH (Mumbai) etc.
Insecurity feeling (apart from economic feelings) also comes as there is no sub national linguistic media/govt. There is no media to talk for you continuously.

One of my friends from interior (NE)-KA just sent me a message -

"Some have thought it to be some astronomical event like eclipse where things turn normal after the event.

Many in my village completely locked there house with zero ventilation since yesterday night." 😐
These people are not sanghis, but many are not aware of what is the exact situation. Language TV channels instead of doing puranas should educate people. We are lagging in this aspect.
5PM event has really created an impression in minds of people that things are now alright. (Say in above tweet - as if this is an eclipse)
