As a Telugu guy: Proud of you Tamils. Hold the line on Hindi imposition.

Recently visited Chennai and I loved how all the service staff responded in Tamil even if I asked something in English, occasionally switching to English words. I think it's a wonderful way to help people and also ensure to tell your guest that the Tamil language is not optional, but something required in the Tamil land, and encouraging people to learn the language. Only other place to do it is the Hindi heartland. Unfortunately, the Telugu states have fallen, and even native Telugu people start the conversation in Hindi/English, which is pathetic. And more power to you guys on the fight against the GOONDAISTIC backdoor imposition of Hindi with the 3 language policy. The policy is stupid, and is clearly a way to impose Hindi on our Dravidian populations. But but ThURd lANguAgE iS oPTiONAl and cAN bE AnY lAnGUAge. My ass. Everyone with two braincells knows that if we choose any other language than Hindi, the funding will be stopped.
