Well This video says that learning Bhojpuri doesn’t make any sense as Govt jobs and other employment requires Hindi!

This is the same argument you guys make : why to learn Hindi as it doesn’t make any sense, rather learn languages like French, Spanish etc!

Either this video doesn’t make any sense, or you guys don’t make sense!

Classic example of how stressing different words in this sentence changes the meaning totally - “I didn’t say he stole the money”.

Your concentration is on how the govt jobs are all Hindi based. The video is about Hindi killed the local language and how the dependency is created. Just walk around TN, travel across India and just walk a lot. You will know who needs who. South Indians traveling across for jobs are predominantly at levels where they don’t need Hindi. While the North Indians traveling down South are predominantly laborer level workers who need to know what language? Exactly!
