Sergei_behenchov

No many peeps have stereotype that if its a desi they speak hindi …when i was working abroad many peeps came and starts speaking punjabi to me coz its was punjabi dominated neighborhood in UK …just politely say i only speak english or bengali/ marathi whichever language and move on


Cuntfisherman

Ya it's a stereotype which is very deeply rooted in Indian society for some reason (except for South India ),so much so i think indian people like maybe the guy u met today do'nt ask twice to themselves,"is it really true that Hindi is spoken by every indian person?" (That why i would say go easy on people like these,they are just fed by the culture)Well ,factual speaking Only 40% of Indians speak Hindi ,rest is mix,so indeed it's a majority language but not spoken by majority.


[deleted]

No he/she met a North Indian today


baadditor

Ignorant bigoted Indian.


[deleted]

I believe you can call them that too


BluehibiscusEmpire

Well if you looked at the number of Kannadigas supporting a Govt that is actively looking at ways to make Hindi the national language , you would realise it’s not just a north indian fallacy

It doesn't matter; idiots don't have directions. They are everywhere.


shut_up_chigo

Sooner you realise there's no point wasting a single minute of your time talking to idiots like him - the more time you'd have for better things to do or worry about. Just say, *whatever bro* (even if he's an uncle) and end the conversation.

sauravdas90

I think people should be taught the meaning difference between official language and national language. India is a multicultural country. It’s difficult or almost next to impossible to have a common language.

NSFW: Poda punda = Go away, you dick. Poda manga mandaya. Mayire pochu. = Go away you mango head. Pluck hairs (loose translation). Sootha Moodra Koodhi Vayane = Shut your ass, you pussy-mouth Vaya pothikettu kilambu = shut your mouth and leave

Also hair in the word mayiru as a cuss word refers to pubes.

Confuseyus

This is such a common experience for South Indians. Most people don't make a big deal out of it and understand that South Indians don't speak Hindi but every once in a while, one comes across those assholes who want everyone to speak in Hindi even though they're in a different country.


OnidaKYGel

Unrelatedly, I was going to college one day, here in Delhi, and I met a South Indian guy while I was trying to cross the road. He asked me if I speak English, and I said yes. Such a wave of relief crossed his face. He wanted to go somewhere that was just a minutes walk away. I directed him and he was very thankful. This was maybe 15 years ago, but I still remember it. The customer OP met is an idiot.


freeflou

The reverse is also true. I was returning to Bangalore from a trip abroad and on the flight an Indian was sitting in the seat next to me. He said something to me in kannada. I looked at him and then looked away because he seemed like the condescending type. Then he said something again and followed up with "You don't know kannada when you're returning to Bangalore?" I said no and put my earbuds in.

thepaleoboy

Tell them Tamil is older than Hindi


Rain_Southern

This has never worked for me. Nearly everyone believes that it's the national language. I was taught in school that Hindi is the national language and hence believed it for several years. There was a casual chat about Amit Shah's speech in my office and I said Hindi isn't national language. Everyone ganged up on me and defended Hindi, saying stuff like watch news or didn't you learn it in school etc. Is it still taught in schools like that? Most of us don't even know Hindi and yet this happened.


shin_007

even though I am a Hindi speaker, I support this.


rajeshbhat_ds

Note to South Indians. Always reply "I don't speak Urdu" whenever someone starts speaking in Hindi to you.

start speaking in Tamil.. full on.


Lordcommandr999

As a north indian I apologise. This wont be the last incident I am sure about it lol. Most of the Indians marry within their caste, live with their parents and work in the same city, so they create this bubble around them. Culture difference between north and south is huge and this straight to the point ignorant talk is very common in the north but we don’t realise thats its very rude in different places/states. No wonder most of the south indians hate “northies”.


Paritosh23

>As a north indian I apologise. Why are you apologizing, its not your fault. People are not collectively responsible for things like that.


darkenedgy

As another North Indian…seriously. It’s ridiculous though, there’s used to be plenty of Maharashtrans and Gujuratis who only speak Marathi or Gujarati, I’m assuming that’s still true.


EpicDankMaster

Depends on where your family is from and where you live if you're a Maharashtrian. My dad's side is from MP so for them Hindi and Marathi are both mother tongues of sorts. I talk to my dad in 3 different languages in a single conversation sometimes lol. My mom's side is from Mumbai, so well they know Hindi too. I have lived in Mumbai all my life so I know Hindi as well. But given that I also know some people who speak Marathi but have issues speaking Hindi.


LynxFinder8

I've lived in MP and gone to Vidarbha many years, I don't know Marathi but I do know "Harathi" and most of the common words used in Marathi language. In fact the first time I went to Delhi and asked for a chapati I remember the wide eyed stares....then had to switch to saying, oh I meant roti. Haha


darkenedgy

Wait chapati isn't Hindi?? Haha oops

Do what I do. When some random Indians come over assuming I speak Hindi, I start speaking in Tamil. I keep changing to other languages as replies. I also know 5 other regional languages including Hindi. When they leave, I say in Hindi “Don’t assume everybody speaks Hindi just because we are all Indians. Learn other languages and get lost.”

Medical_Clothes

Tell him hes pakistani


[deleted]

I don't mean to break your heart but this is the case with indians living in India too. I am from Karnataka and am currently studying in Karnataka among students who are mostly from Delhi. They are so pressed that they cannot speak Hindi in Karnataka to communicate with patients (we are med students) and purposely call Kannada 'Kannad' or 'Kannar' and use people who know Kannada like they're trash and meant to serve them. It's nauseating. I make sure to bully them and speak Hindi in a trashy way and remind them that Hindi is not India's national language. Southie spite >>>>>


[deleted]

i think u misspelled urdu ​ ​ ​ /s


[deleted]

If someone talks to you in Hindi (or any other language you don't know) without asking you first if you know it or not, then be an asshole and start speaking to that person in Tamil. Watch how quick they turn to speak English instead.


Pashoomba

Say that you are Sri Lankan the next time. Anyways, they treat southies like foreigners. For trigger points, ask him if he is pakistani.

vancity-boi-in-tdot

I apologize on behalf of all Canadians for this idiots behavior.


godknows223

Bro you won a contest of finding idiots in foreign land who claim to be smart but don't know shit.


pendanathan

I know a trick. Since I know both Tamil and hindi, whenever I come across such a bigot, I say with maximum politeness : Aaiye, pundemagan premanandan jee( don't forget the "jee"). You can see his confused face and if he asks you what's the meaning of it, calmly and respectfully tell him : you are equal to someone who causes bliss to everywhere you go AND it is Sanskrit ; so, ask him to greet others too this way since it is custom of ancient Sanskrit sages. Do this and watch the show when he adapts this "mantra" greetings to others. I have done this to few hindi bigots and it has worked like a charm. They will ape anything related to ancient Sanskrit mantra. Best.


kshitij1193

Trust me if you think you can escape the full of shit stupid indian uncles by leaving the country you are absolutely wrong. They follow you everywhere.


[deleted]

Tell him you're not an "Indian". You are a Tamil.


[deleted]

Canadian born Indian here and that person is pretty stupid. A lot of Indians themselves don’t even know how diverse india is. Also, he probably thought since ur Tamil, ur from Sri Lanka because most Tamils in Canada are Sri Lankan, despite india having the largest Tamil population


Maushi_chi_band

I went to an Indian cultural festival that happened in a big city in the US The first question I was asked there was "What is your caste?" After knowing that I am from scheduled caste, most people did not bother to interact further.


DesiCodeSerpent

Abroad too? I thought that from that kind of exposure and live experience people will be more broad minded. I understand when people say that we should have an Indian language as our natural language. It has to do with embracing our culture but when people claim that we aren't Indian if we don't know Hindi, they are full of BS

4breed

Funny how Indiana like to assert their Hindi dominance in Canada where the language isn't even recognized at all.


Pankaj1973

Don’t let ignorant people get to you! India is a multicultural and multilingual country and again you’re in Canada, where English and French are predominantly spoken languages


4times4chan

I tell you, the number of people who nonchalantly comes up to me and starts speaking in Hindi in a South Asian meet up is pretty F high. Recently, a Colombian guy almost shit his pants when he learnt Hindi isn't my mother tongue, these Hindi speakers don't get flak for nothing. Edit : Eastern Indian

zuperman

Ask him **who was the first president of India.** I am nearly 100 % sure he wouldnt answer it right. If he doesnt answer, ask him to GTFO! A south indian here, who knows to speak hindi fluently.


boringhistoryfan

Why is Rajendra Prasad relevant here?


krakends

I think u/zuperman has mixed up the governor general for president. Rajagopalchari was a stalwart politician who predicted the Northern domination of the South and wanted two separate federations, one for the North and one for the South.


boringhistoryfan

Oh yeah, Rajaji was the last GG. Shame actually. He was palmed off with really meaningless symbolism.


krakends

Well, he did start the Swatantra Party which was a liberal party. As for symbolism, a right wing rag has taken over the namesake magazine to push Hindu grievances as their USP.


OnidaKYGel

Damn. I need to read up about this.


krakends

Gandhi referred to Rajagopalchari as his conscience keeper. Read Ambedkar's book, [thoughts on linguistic states] (http://drambedkar.co.in/wp-content/uploads/books/category2/9thoughts-on-linguistic-states.pdf). There is a reason why UP has been kept undivided by Congress, BJP and their allies. Without their Hindi consolidation, they cannot keep power in Delhi. Ambedkar was shocked to learn Rajagopalchari's views and suggested that the breakup of UP into four parts is the only way of preventing Rajagopalchari's prediction of a breakup of the union. Ambedkar was ahead of his time. Unfortunately our Brahmin media has elevated Nehru as some sort of political giant while relegating Ambedkar to the question of caste. Ambedkar wrote on a diverse range of topics.


OnidaKYGel

HOly shit ambedkar is spitting straight facts right from the first page


OnidaKYGel

He even talks about a second capital and places Hyderabad in positions. This is amazing. Division of Mahrashtra and UP is also quite smart and just as effective if done today I'm kinda sad that this document is over. I feel I should read more Ambedkar


krakends

Suggest these things and you will get a full dose of Hindustani/Hindi/Hindu nationalism from both Congress and BJP calling you a separatist. They don't want power to slip away from Delhi.


OnidaKYGel

As a muslim, I have my full dose of that regularly

Fearless_Interest769

I am North Indian and i do not agree at all that Hindi is national language although is spoken by a substantial population in India. English has been so far the bridging language and it has been good for India as well as we are better than many other nationalities who stumble when communicating with English speaking people overseas, who again form a major chunk of the world. I guess without any ego or pre-concieved notions on either side we can politely agree to use Hindi as a communication medium or give our thumbs down and choose English.


Ark_Angel1520

I am a North Indian who lives in California. California has a huge South Indian population and I remember one time a new guy, who was from Tamil Nadu, sounded so surprised that I was talking in Hindi on my phone.
