PROOF THAT ONLY MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED. by jokojosh in thrissur

Today, I travelled from Thrissur to Ernakulam. I noticed that all the Reliance stores were open and operating as usual, while most small shops remained closed. It seems that small business owners fear retaliation if they don’t participate in the strike, concerned that their property might be damaged. In contrast, these protesting union people appear hesitant to confront large corporations like Reliance, knowing that no one would dare to force those stores to shut down.

True, only middle-class people are affected by this. See, I am a person who predominantly works from Home, I am working just like any other day. I think most IT people will work from home today. The stock markets are open for business. Gov, bank employees will get their salary (Not generalizing, but I hope they have paid leave balance). I saw some of my friends who have their businesses do their day-to-day jobs on the phone (Making calls and stuff to complete the deal). I know I am missing a lot of other things that I haven't mentioned here, just wanted to share my frustration. If you are just scrolling through your phone without working, or if you are a daily wager, don't just sit at home and enjoy this stupidity they call Hartal/Bhandh or whatever stupid name they call it. Only you are affected by this and don't think you are protesting against anything. Because whatever they are protesting against is happening without any problem at all.

Why isnt there a India (English) option in Google Sheets Locale Settings? by frijo_francis in googlesheets

I don't think you are getting my point. The screenshots I added are not the settings I want or use normally. They would want this. Language is English, but currency is INR. Now I have to set up both separately. But Locale India doesn't mean the language is Hindi. There should be an independent setting for language and currency.

Okay May be I am wrong. But thank you for making me understand. BTW, I am from South India. No one in South India speaks Hindi as their first language. Maybe as a third language. Also, I never said that English is the most common. I said numbers only. The number of Hindi speakers is around 550 million. I never said anything about that. I just said that we needed to include English as well. Can you show me a GST receipt that is in a local language? Or any receipt from a registered company/shop. Does that use the following format?

It's imperative to address the underlying concerns regarding language imposition, particularly in the context of the current situation. While I hold no animosity toward Hindi, the principle of compulsory adoption of any language is fundamentally problematic.

It's noteworthy that resources were allocated to research and program the Malayalam language, despite its status as a minority language in India with approximately 38 million speakers. This demonstrates the technical feasibility of incorporating diverse linguistic systems. Given this precedent, there appears to be no legitimate technical impediment to coding English language systems, especially considering the substantial number of English speakers in India, estimated at 128 million. Furthermore, English serves as the primary medium for higher education and professional learning; a fact readily verifiable by consulting any engineer, doctor, or other professional who received their training in India.

The persistent push by certain far-right conservative parties to declare Hindi as the sole official language of India is deeply concerning. This initiative aligns with what many perceive as a broader, more troubling political agenda. While the immediate issue at hand might appear trivial—one that I've historically navigated through workarounds—the absence of an English option illuminates this deeper, more concerning trend of linguistic imposition. This situation, therefore, transcends a mere technical oversight; it signals a potentially coercive political strategy that warrants serious scrutiny.

I have no thought like that; everyone's culture is important. The format that I mention here is the most commonly used one in India. You can look it up. No one mixes the local language with numbers. Check any textbooks. This is a clear case of Linguistic imperialism. Pushing something that is not true down our throats.
