Re: Questions for indians
gandhi's big mistake was giving so much importance to hindi. it is the language of the most backwardly part of the whole subcontinent, and now thanks to importance given to language, this exact area is what sends maximum politicians to the parliament and drags the rest of the country down.
i learnt english, malayalam, and hindi in high school. i do okay with all three, but in retrospect, i'd rather have learnt just malayalam in more depth, and less of hindi. malayalam literature is something that has to be experienced by anyone who calls themselves an educated malayali. it is a shame when you are malayali and can quote munshi premchand and harivansh rai bachan, but don't know any basheer or ONV; know all about the gupta dynasty but don't know who the zamorin is. say no to cow-beltization of indian sub-cultures.
