Sujai thinks we should thank the Tamils for opposing the imposition of Hindi:
While other South Indians did not have the same clout over Indian Administrative Services and other bureaucratic jobs, Tamils were ruling the roost. They had featured in constituent assembly and cabinet meetings to influence the thinking of the Indian Government, and they fought tooth-and-nail to oppose all moves by North Indians to impose Hindi as the national language. It was a hard won battle. And thanks to this bitter opposition, the roots of which lie in a selfish attempt to safeguard their interests, we have English as the official language for all states, making Hindi one of the many Indian languages, not a special one.
I think we should thank both the supporters and opponents of Hindi for killing all interest in Indian languages, other than their own, among Indians in all states.

Dear Frnd,
I agree that hindi is not our official language!
It feels good to several others. But it has pushed us back a several feets down the stairs.
What they have won is this.
1. A nation which doesn’t have a single identity. No wonder that we have to stick with cricket, coz that is the only thing now we have common. Hindi could have done this very easily. And could have had helped us better. More then watching cricket.
2. Generations which are unfit for actual global and national development. For most of my men/ladies can only be taken up as employees at lower ranks: in india.( They have spent their time is learning a language, which is not their mother tongue and no one who is working in a foreign language whole day is actually working at his/her 60% efficiency).
3. Not fit for employment outside india for they speak a very unpopular language, not at all used in maximum part of the world,(includes max of europe, asia, south america, and max parts of africa.) and that too in a very piculiar way which no one can understand.
4. People who even after completing their graduation have to go back to a speaking school, to learn to speak a language that they have wasted learning since their childhood.
I will conclude, we will make a better nation only once INDIA starts using hindi(or if any other regional language, easily usable) as its official language.
Just think about it why don’t we have good athelets, good architects, good engineers, great doctors, good people, good international businessman, good scientiststs(For GOd’s sake don’t count to me the name of those 100 odd indians, 60 years/ 1 billion population,the resulting rate is pathetic)…People ending up their lives to learn a language that thier vocal muscles are not conditioned for, what else do you expect from them. They will be practicing English to pass the test or do something else. Not possible.
First need for us to have a better tomorrow, is first change our preferences from a foreign language to a local language, like automated systems, people will have a higher concentration ability towards their inner/born capabilities.
We still have time, 12 years before we hit 2020. Enough for me, enough for you enough for us all.

IF that be the case, I would prefer to fight for a separate country for Tamils.
I am NOT interested in giving up my language, my identity for the sake of “hindi-an” nationalism.
There was NO India before the british came and I am NOT interested in being cocooned within an artificial linguistic identity that does NOT belong to me/my forefathers.
fuck hindi and fuck all those who impose hindi in any form. We dont need this shit and we wont let you hindia divide our nation. Seperate all hindi speaking states from India. India will lose 30% if the region but we will also lose bloody bihar and all the illiterates in the world who cant even utter a word of english.
Fuck you Kannadiga. What you have said is perfectly worng. After seperating hindi speaking states from idia you are thinking it will be only 30% region sperated? I will say 30% region will be left after doing this. So fuck hindi. Fuck each north indian.
