@fun2sh:We,south Indians most(read 90%) consider Hindi as a foreign language which has no relation as is with English.We hate Hindi imposition by central government,ur lucky as u stay in South India's "north indian" city.come out of the shoes to see the world!we NEVER wanted Hindi imposition.there are already lot of anti-hindi movements in southern states and many are killed by central government.
next time think south indians as someone who are having a distinct and different culture.
We never wants Hindi=it is equivalent to chinese.OK?go with ur hindi to Punjab,delhi,ncr or up,bihar etc.dont force and expect hindi be talked in south india as some mad hindians made india's national lang Hindi?actually Indias official language is English.
only 40% of population *may* understand (H)indi!next time learn kannada and talk in that language in bangalore

Be in Rome,Live like a Roman holds true for you ppl too!
the solution is:if ur in south(not hyderabad),either learn to communicate in state's native language(for eg:kannada) or try English,but NEVER force Hindi on US>
OK.read the sentiments of South people and the language issue in one of the locked threads:
what should be india's national language.
