00:00When people in Delhi talk of Hindi as a national language or a link language,
00:05it makes the people in South both insecure and also resistant,
00:09angry, because they are seeing the kind of discrepancy and imbalance.
00:13There is no reciprocity.
00:14And I will side with my countrymen from the South.
00:17If I belong to the South, I would say, well, I have no problems.
00:21Hindi is an important language.
00:23Hindi is a language of my country.
00:25But tell me, please, is the onus of learning a language from another region
00:31only on the Southerners?
00:33The Northerners will not even try to learn any language apart from their own.
00:40And if you can speak a bit of Tamil,
00:41you will find you will happily reciprocate by speaking a bit of Hindi.
00:45And that's the way healthy relationships are.
