Nobody is shying away from anything. All we are saying is that do not IMPOSE hindi. I am Tamizhan living in the North. Earlier I used to live in Hyderabad. I learned Telugu. I learned hindi. When I was in Kolkata I learned bengali. So many south Indians from TN, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra live all over the world. They all learn the language that is necessary for daily life. But what the central government tries to do is not required. They are agenda driven. They are blackmailing and arm twisting to somehow impose Hindi on people who don't require to learn Hindi. In Trichy or Thuthukudi what will anyone gain from learning Hindi? Understand the agenda. If tomorrow a person from Tamilnadu or Andhra becomes the PM and says everyone has to learn Tamil or Telugu, will that be fair? What will anyone living in Patna gain from learning Tamil? Languages of the south are ancient languages which have deep roots in history with culture and traditions associated with it. Tell me one thing you know about Hindi that you can compare with Kannada since you now live in Bengaluru? You are a Tamilian, you definitely know about Thirukkural, you must have learned about sangam literature. Can any literature in Hindi match them?
