>>Part of that is South India tends to be assertively anti-Hindi for various historical/cultural reasons.

We are pro-OurLanguage, whatever that language. If that feels anti-Hindi to you, one can't help.

You almost are suggesting to be pro-YourLanguage one has to throw out their their language.

There are also a few anti-OtherLanguage protests.

For example, this is hardly "pro-OurLanguage" - http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/karnataka-raks...

That is pro-OurLanguage protest.

Also, as long as there is English, its totally useless to learn Hindi.

How is that a pro-OurLanguage protest? The board already had Kannada and English. In addition, Hindi was being added. That is clearly an anti-Hindi protest. Not a pro-Kannada protest.

I will take your comment seriously when Kannada shows up on Delhi metro signage and no body protests, until then its shoving things down peoples throat and holding them responsible for not swallowing up.
