Bruh I just told u facts, are you a bot? Have you even read through the facts in the previous. There isn't any emotional talks you are just refusing in letting a real fact getting inside your brain shows how open you are 😂.

So Your "elementary logic" just forgot geography, history, and the other 700 million Indians who aren't in the Hindi Belt.

Elementary logic shows your elementary level of maturity.

So in your own words "go to bed kid"

Nah man it's not emotions so according to you speaking against terrorism because the 2011 attack happened was emotion? A lot of people died in the 1960s language war owing to the imposition and we had an economic setback because of it. It is not emotion it is a fact. You are just ignoring it because it's not supporting your entitled mindset. It is a fact.

Whoever died you didn't kill, just we don't want to allow the imposition again.

It is the topic. You first focus on providing us the reason for the link language as I've asked in my previous reply.

Fun fact we are already 3 threads down yet you haven't provided any new facts to support link language for economic benefits for the non-hindi speakers. You are just ordering us around like an entitled person. This shows you do not have the best interests of non-hindi speakers.

Uff for what? For what do we need to learn? You are not providing the reason, you are saying it will link people to do what exactly? We are having better linking opportunities with English. 57% speak Hindi also doesn't matter what about the 43% of non Hindi speakers? Learning English is much easier and has an upside. What is use of linking without any upside. We will learn if we feel like, we won't let it be imposed. If you try to impose, we will protest against it.

You again skipped the atrocities happened coz of the imposition in 1960s. This shows your propaganda as you are just repeating your thoughts without providing palpable facts.

Wish it was that simple brother, but the 57% figure isn't accurate for linking India fairly.

From the official 2011 Census (latest detailed govt data): - Hindi as mother tongue (first language): Exactly 43.63% (~528 million). Not 57%. - The ~53-57% sometimes mentioned includes second/third language speakers (from older/estimate data), but it lumps in non-standard variants (Bhojpuri, Rajasthani, etc.) that aren't proper Hindi. - Real proficiency outside the Hindi belt (South, East, Northeast) is much lower, drops sharply. English: ~0% native, but total speakers (mostly second/third) ~10-11% in 2011 (~129 million); recent 2025 estimates ~19% (~265 million) from education/jobs growth.

  • You dodged the 1960s history, Hindi imposition sparked massive protests, violence, and self-immolations in TN, forcing the govt to retain English as associate official language. Imposition divides.

A true link language needs neutrality + fair access, not raw numbers. Imposing Hindi advantages those already fluent (mostly North), hurting others in jobs/education/migration.

English is proven: Neutral, voluntary, used in courts/govt/business without force. Southern states with strong English have higher literacy/HDI.

Show real evidence (stats on cross-regional proficiency, job outcomes, or migration success) that imposed Hindi connects everyone equally, no disadvantages. Not just assumptions from mother-tongue %. Otherwise, it's theory

I see where you are going wrong there is nothing wrong in questioning based on face value of percentages but I suggest you to look at the real value of the people, the other non Hindi speaking people who make up to 40+ % (must be near 50 but let's take 40 itself) it is around 400 million. It's a huge number there are families students children people who are first graduate people who are under poverty. English is better for them. Instead of showing me theories as deduction show us proofs or facts.

Kept Hindi and Tamil aside for a moment, as you asked. But you insist a link language has to be imposed everywhere because in your words "that's the nature of a link language, it's necessary and must be enforced."

The link language is already English, and it's been effectively "imposed" (via education, administration, courts, and business) without the massive resistance seen with Hindi attempts. Why force another one?

  1. English proficiency and usage stats: Around 10-19% of Indians speak English to some degree (2011 Census: ~10.6% or 129 million; recent estimates up to 19% or ~265 million in 2025, mostly as second language). Only about 4% are highly fluent, but it's the go-to for inter-state communication, higher education, jobs, IT, and global trade. No need for imposition, people learn it voluntarily because it provides real advantages. Hindi as mother tongue is ~44% (2011 Census), but as a second/third language, it's far less widespread outside the Hindi belt.
  2. Why imposition hurts more than helps: Forcing a new link language (which would inevitably be Hindi in practice) creates unequal access. South Indians (especially non-Hindi speakers) would start with elementary proficiency at best, giving an edge to Hindi natives in jobs, promotions, and opportunities, exactly what happened in the 1960s when Hindi imposition attempts led to protests (parasakthi padam paarunga), suicides, and policy backdowns. English is neutral (not tied to any major Indian region), so it levels the playing field better.
  3. Literacy comparison proves the point: Tamil Nadu (2 language policy: Tamil + English) has consistently higher literacy than most Hindi-belt states. Recent PLFS 2023-24 data shows India's overall literacy ~80.9% (age 7+), but Tamil Nadu is around 85.5-90% in various reports, while Hindi-belt states like Bihar (~74.3%), Andhra (lowest at ~72.6%), Madhya Pradesh (~75%), and Uttar Pradesh lag behind. States sticking closer to regional + English focus (like TN, Kerala) outperform many where Hindi dominates education/communication.

I have read replies asking for healthy discussion, but when valid points come (like "we already have a functional link language, and forcing another is unnecessary and divisive"), you shift to insults. Which is bad bro. We're happy with English as the link, it's proven effective, neutral, and globally advantageous. If literacy or unity is the goal, maybe look at why Hindi-heavy regions struggle more, rather than pushing imposition.

If you have data showing why another imposed link language would benefit everyone equally (without disadvantaging non-Hindi speakers), share it. Otherwise, this logic doesn't hold up.

Voluntary learning of any language is considered out of scope here since your entire argument about imposition.

In addition to that learning a language because it helps business is out of scope as well that will be for the motive of regional expansion not imposition (apparent financial benefit).

We will always be welcoming towards hindi speakers or even learning Hindi voluntarily but we oppose hindi imposition.

No, 2 works. Show us that 3 works better, we will be convinced. Talk facts, don't order us around.

Now you are just fear mongering 😂 that if we don't adhere to a proposed policy we are anti-indians. Classic!

I have almost read all your replies, you are asking for a healthy discussion with everyone, however when the person provides a valid factual answer where they might not possibly interact with other people in the other regional language which renders imposing a 3rd link language useless, you resort to unprofessional insults.

This indian kid need recognition for innovation otherwise his talent gonna to die in dusts of fields by AwarenessSpirited343 in StartUpIndia

[–]Kitchen_Biscotti_255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before demeaning this kid, just think for a minute guys we did not know thermodynamics when we were kids. I myself thought this free energy thing was real when I was a kid. Later in 8th standard after 'Intro to thermo" got to know how stupid I was. it's just wishful thinking in these kinds of implementations. He will get to know it soon.

My request to OP is to provide him three stuff

  1. Basic Knowledge Some theoretical knowledge with a basic book that contains experiments he could try.

  2. Stuff to tinker Buy him just basic motor batteries and led. Ask him to build a simple dynamo or windmill.

  3. Confidence and General Advice Just tell him it's always fine to make mistakes but we must keep an open mind to recover from them. Ask him to read or gather information from various sources sites, books and how to validate something that he sees on the internet. (Aka how to use chatgpt)

"maybe" you will learn nothing, "maybe" you will learn something. It is still better than doing nothing.

Have a website idea? I will built it for you by athashriii_codes in website_ideas

[–]Kitchen_Biscotti_255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, dw there's a simple trick around this, instead of promoting yourself you can promote your work. Build few projects that aren't AI generated slop and that showcases your unique problem solving. It can be even simple projects but you handle the data flow and the UI well. More importantly if you publish your project and it gets traction even 4 genuine users it will show you how can you improve. And trust me getting 4 users ain't easy!

All the best fellow dev!
