Major Gurjeet Singh has made a very valid and relevant point. However, there is a small amendment I would like to make. Hindi as we see and hear on DD and AIR is still predominantly having a Sanskrit flavour to it. Gandhiji had made a very valid observation in the 1930s-1940s, that to bind the country together in one single fabric it is necessary to have a common language. He suggested Hindustani. To illustrate, Hindustani was the language of 'Hindi' films like Waqt, Kanoon, and a host of Bollywood movies made upto the 1970s. I think we ought to interact more in Hindustani, which often passes of as Hindi.This note is just to make that little distinction. Deepak Tralshawala

Sorry to interrupt but I feel the need of Hindi tooo... DO we all remember the Mangalore Air crash? A very small article was published in the news papers relating to the rescue operations reaching late... Reason being DIFFERENT MOTHER TONGUES on the check post...... Hindi is spoken every where.. Our Partners & Clients speak & learn Hindi first.

Wow! Rina, Harpal & Col TT,
Good to hear nice views on the language issue.
Here is what I would like to add.
I have been in the Army for 21 years and traveled all over india. Commanded South indian troops (Madras Sappers) , now settled in US and have traveled to Africa, China, Europe, south America and many other places.
First observation is that we should be proud Indians and have one common language ie Hindi. So that as an Indian we don't feel outsider in south or east india.
Also we must learn English to communicate with the outside world. I can see how in US chinese people feel small due to Indian soft ware experts are good in English. One good thing done be Pt Nehru.
Learn at least one more foreign language eg French/Spanish/German etc to have a better reach in the world.
Local language or mother tounge is naturally learned at home but should be taught as third language so that kids can read and write easily.
More languages learned makes kids well rounded person and create /generate curiosity in them to learn other cultures which will make them smarter.
So cheers! Have fun. Learn more as its never enough.
Major Gurjeet Singh
