How many of us took Hindi as a language in School/College after it was not compulsory. It is very dignified to say be patriotic and all that stuff but how many of us really care about Hindi as language. Hindi language is going the same route as Sanskrit which is mostly used for doing P.H.D. and getting high scores. Offcourse all our Hindu Vedas are written in Sanskrit.

Anyways what difference does it make to be Hindi as National Language. Do you know what is our National Game?

English gives us a global advantage over other non english speaking countries. For a poor country like us it is a great thing. Imagine all the call centers shifting to China ;)

^^ hello wake up brother ..... the phenomenon of shifting call centres has already started not because of the language but because of the frauds here ....

and the question is not about knowing our national game or knowing our national anthem so on so forth the question is about preserving our national heritage a language that is ours a language that has been given to us by our fore-fathers not by some freaking idiots who came and ruled our nation for so many years

let me re-iterate my stand .... im not saying stop teaching english im saying english though global is not our language we have a beautiful language (not demeaning other regional languages) which is spoken widely across this land and now has its global presence along with chinese ..... make it our national language ....

y is it so hard for u to accept a language of our own as our national language .... to me something being given he tag of national means of the ppl of this nation (S.Indians included) be it language sport or anything

There are many who dont care there parents after they settle down with a good job. Should U dump yr parents too because many are doing this ? Lol have an independent thinking approach. Your statement shows you are a cave man. English gives us a global advantage, so you should learn english too but when the question is about a national entity........it has to be our very own....a part of us.
India is not a poor country. Get your misconception right else me and my brothers here will blast you off. China has strong feelings for its culture and Chinese take pride in it. They are not like you.

Yawn....I can't accept Hindi as my own as it is not. Speaking in Hindi isn't going to make me more patriotic or less 'Angrezi'. If a more impartial language can't be national language I'll be all ears for my language but never Hindi. Of course I can talk it when I need it like I talk Arabic when I'm in Dubai but it will never be my language, Hindi will always be like Arabic to me.

By the way how many languages does a non hindi person has to master, his language, Hindi and English? And how many does a north Indian hindi speaker has to master?

Hindi should be the national language. The stupid call centers spoiled the nation and its culture . Now we all are getting westernised. Call centers should be banned. Why hate Hindi ???. I see people even speaking manglish . . Yeah i am a Malayalee . . Respect your language folks . I blame it all on call centers . **** them.

I work for a call centre...trust me they are NOT stupid, they teach you important work ethics. Also call centres are only located in cities...majority of the Indian population stays in areas where there are NO call centres, so it is impossible for call centres to "spoil the NATION and it's culture".

It's on how you conduct yourself that determines your culture not merely speaking english or any other language...go to USA or any western country and you will find thousands of Indian families who speak ONLY english but still keep their Indian culture intact.

Regardless of which language we feel should be the national language, let us first be good human beings and stop blaming everything and everybody for our shortcomings.

You didn't get my point. Many Indian families, living abroad, who's mother tongue is hindi or whatever indian language speak in english AMONGST themselves at home but keep their culture intact. So my point is language does not determine ones culture.

And u didn't read my point!!
Neways how can u say "many" Indian families?? It seems ur Watching too much NRI movies?? Ackowledge reality brother!

I've been to US and my sister stays there and many of my friends stay there now! But all of em narrate that they speak in their mother tongues at home i.e Hindi and some r Punjabi so its Punjabi . Chinese, Japanese all speak in their respective mother tongues with family people abroad. R u saying Indians are any different??

So ur point is totally wrong. Or if u wanna argue, then first tour america as well and observe the reality and then argue! Don't post ur imagination here :)

Exceptions r always there. Its too bad these exceptions don't speak in their mother tongues even at home. i again repeat the saying "Dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na khet ka". I hope u know its meaning. Neways why r u bringing languages spoken by NRIx in foriegn?? I hope u understand the meaning of title of this thread. If u dont then refresh urself and read the debate from the start instead of REPEATING the same old NRI thing again n again!!

And I challenge u to take the poll and include all Non-Americans there and what they speak at home! So dont post ur haullucinations here man!
