    As soon as possible we will listed our language bengali as a official language of UN. Because bengali is the national & official language of 3 countries, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone & also India.

    Stupid Backward view To be truly international and integrated English must be encouraged as I see many intelligent candidates bringing their Qualifications given in their regional language and it is hard to interpret and asses parity . They end up as cooks or cleaners . Very Sad . From Australian perspective.

    Here, i believe Tharoor sir was more with facts, spending 400 crore to make it official doesn't seem reasonable.

    I never expected our Foreign minister to be this illogical. Fijian hindi is different from our Hindi. Aygaynta upko hain, Kueki adhi adhuri gyan hanikarak ho sakti hain.
