Isn't it then a paradox that the most developed regions in India speak a language other than Hindi?? Loss of a language is loss of culture; every time a language dies humanity loses an important part of its knowledge base - there is no one language in the world where all knowledge, wisdom and collective experiences are present - It is part of the fundamental rights of a person to preserve, nurture and cherish one's mother tongue. If you don't know - what you just stated is plain fascism.


Nothing anyone has said in this nested comment thread is fascism. Did you choose that word to convey your anger?


The notion of forcefully bringing about a change in popular culture is fascism at best. If you did not understand the politics behind this discussion, then you are either too naive or belong to the camp I mentioned.


Pushing for change is not the same as forcing something. Sometimes the spirit and essence of it can be close to the same. However there have only been initial and hand wavey vague discussions here. None of it being fascism [at best], literally or in spirit.

The second half of your comment makes things weird/passive aggressive and personal. Not to mention the attempt at condescension. I in no way gave or am giving my personal point of view here.


Fascism is the notion - once it is in the mind, it can get into action - it is important that people understand the level of toxicity of the thought. Humanity is enriched by its languages and diversity. By the way, every notion (other than a proven fact) has personal and political dimensions.
