Why we could not learn are all the Indian languages ??????
Answers
Answer:
As per the Constitution of India, there is no National Language of India. After independence, the Constitution makers had a problem of selecting a national language which can unite a country because there were more than 1,600 languages spoken in different parts of the country.
I am going to answer this anonymously. Because of most of our south Indian friends are highly sensitive to such issues.
Personally it is not required as such.I have been living in Bangalore for around 8 years. I know it sounds really bad that I am here in Karnataka for around a decade but do not know Kannada. I can understand what people speak, and I can speak a bit. Kannada gotha swalpa swalpa. But there is no incentive to push harder to learn as such. I honestly try to communicate in English, but Kannadigas are so friendly, knowing i am from north, they start speaking in Hindi. From general stores to vegetable vendors, almost everyone knows Hindi. They are polite and indulge in good conversations. If i was staying in other regions than Bangalore, may be it was possible i could be pushing harder to learn it more.
In our real lives, we are so messed up with other things that we forget to pay attention to such things. I know if i stay here longer my kids would be fluent in Kannada as they would be learning at a tender age.
Learning a language at a mature age is considered a better option when it is helping with your business, or career. Or when you are highly attracted to a specific culture.
Though i wish Southern states instead of asking people to learn it, should promote the language as our own, and provide incentives to migrants to learn it. Incentive could be of any kind.
On a side note, I also wish there is a higher participation of politicians from Southern states on the national platform, who promote the Southern culture and language. The only vocal PM’s i have seen are from north.
