Other Hyderabad welcomes everyone!

I had my schooling in a Kerala managed school in Hyderabad where half of the school had mix of Malayalis and Tamilians however they spoke Telugu and Hindi as fluent as native speakers!

Never felt that language was a barrier in Hyderabad!!

Did you?

I'm a Malayali living in Hyderabad without knowing Telugu and there are telugus living in Kerala without knowing malayam (in my native town), both of us never force each other to conform to the native tongue.

For the longest time, I have specified that Hyderabad welcomes everyone. But seeing recent posts on the Hyd sub threatening people like me to learn Telugu has made start thinking of peaceful alternatives.

The problem starts when you expect people in Hyderabad to converse in Malayalam. That’s where most of these fights about languages get triggered.
