The opposite argument is this It is important for all Indians to have a common “Indian” language as lingua Franca English cannot be that language though it can serve as a secondary lingua franca Among all the Indian languages Hindi is best placed to serve as lingua franca for a variety of reasons 1. It is widely comprehended by a majority of indians (even without “imposition”) 2. It is the only prakrit that has transcended a regional identity thanks to its spread as hindavi through medieval empires serving as medium 3. It represents everything that sanskrit has to offer in terms of intellectual / technical vocabulary while being easier to learn than sanskrit with a far simpler grammar / fewer cases etc 4. It has had a lot of work put into it in 19th and 20th centuries and has proved adaptable and resilient in the face of modernity unlike some of the more ancient southern languages that have regressed and turned more conservative (like tamil) 5. It is a v elegant language that is least diglossic among all indian languages. Resembles english in that respect

Priya Patel went viral for her take on immigration. Then, one interview took an unexpected turn.

"We were poorer but louder, now we are wealthier & more guarded. Earlier we gave commentary on everything from Libya to Venezuela." Ecosystem wants loud & mindless reactions from Indian govt on Palestinian & West Asia war. But Modi govt prioritized India's interests, supply of essentials & protecting Indians abroad 🗿

🚨 Russian Foreign Minister fires back Negotiation isn’t about pressure Trump needs to learn diplomacy, not domination. You don’t force deals you build them.

The PM is upto his usual tricks of making misleading statements that are meant to deceive. He says South Indian states will not be hurt in any way if the strength of the Lok Sabha is increased by 50% and the number of seats of each state in the Lok Sabha is also increased by 50%. This is hoodwinking the people of the country in which the PM has unique expertise. For example, the difference between UP’s and Kerala’s seats in Lok Sabha is now 60. Mr. Modi’s proposal will increase it to 90. Similiarly the difference between UP and Tamil Nadu will increase from 41 to at least 61. Such examples can be multiplied. Mr. Modi is bulldozing a proposal that will will work more to the benefit of larger and populous states since their already large numbers will get further magnified. It is not just South India but states like Punjab and Haryana and those in the North East that will also see their relative influence decline. The nation is facing a serious economic and foreign policy crisis. All that the PM is bothered about is pushing through an increase in the strength of the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas without meaningful consultations and widespread public debate. This is nothing but a Weapon of Mass Distraction (WMD).
