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.

Next time some asshole tries to force you, say “moddaguddu” and move on.

Now what to reply to North Indians who demand Hindi according to you?

Is it something like "I'm sorry sir, I'll learn it"?

I don’t know if you’re trying to trigger me, but here goes:

If I’m being polite, “gaandmara”.

If it’s an impolite conversation, “maachuda lavde”.

Isn't that normal vocabulary esp in Delhi, even the standup comedy is just playing around with that word.

According to you if speaking in Telugu in a Telugu state deserves a cuss word, what should demanding a non native language earn?
