    hindi and English are just a language which is used for convey our thoughts these languages are not impose .. But people make these language as a standard symbol and that's why the day will come in list of extinct language anew name will joint and that is hindi.... Hindi is a mixture of many language it's not just a language it's more than that ....and the extinct languages these languages are extinct because we are not give importance as we give English now a days when person speaks in their regional languages we make fun of them...that's why they extinct ....

    Half of the languages in India will survive if Hindi itself is not imposed unwantedly .... People will learn a language only if it becomes a source of livelihood ....English serves the purpose .... but what does Learning Hindi gives ?? Hindi in India is just used to impose on others n kill the heterogeneous diversity of indigenous languages !

    By reading some comments I came to know that we live among some idiots who try to pretend they know all ... But in reality they are just f#*@ up . One good example for all .... !!! Go to a jungle where u can find tribal people ... U can see their language is different ... Their culture is different and more fun fact to add... No pollution No crimes No rapes No money No electricity No phone But they live happily , and we call ourselves civilized

    Protect your regional languages no matter what and stand against hindi imposition.....Learn any language if you are willing to learn....Protest if any language is imposed on you....
