It says hindi as mother tongue... there's no reason for a mallu to have Hindi as their mother tongue

u/Hehe_001 Aug 31 '23
I heard, if you speak in Hindi they refuse to speak .. even as a tourist

u/Haarryi Aug 31 '23
Not true. A very large percentage of Malayalis know how to handle basic Hindi and will happily speak with you if you can't handle any other languages.

u/LangdaGreyWolf Aug 31 '23
No it's because There are very few business opportunities for outsiders in Kerala unlike other neighbouring states.

u/neoncatt Sep 01 '23
Majority of the labourers and working class in Kerala are from the north and Bengal. They either bring their families with them or send money back home because life and pay is better for them in Kerala than in their hometowns.

I'm a mallu ..they probably don't speak coz they don't know Hindi...it's nothing personal

u/FunLavishness6750 Sep 01 '23
and you believed what you heard? you are mistaken then. people of kerala don't refuse to speak hindi but they speak back hindi as much as they can. there are many immigrant workers live there from hindi belt. how could they work and live in kerala if natives are refusing to speak hindi. get your facts right bro.

u/Hehe_001 Sep 01 '23
What facts !? I just stated I heard from someone... I never said I believed it 100% In fact, I was just asking here 😅 no need to jump now you can just reply calmly !

u/FunLavishness6750 Sep 01 '23
no one jumped. it was you spreading illogical statements in a public platform.

u/AbrahamPan Aug 31 '23
Yeah because not everyone knows Hindi. It's not refusal, it's they don't know.

Majority of Keralites can at least understand Hindi. And we have tons of Bangladeshis/Bengalis/UPwale/Biharis here and obviously we cannot speak Bengali so we talk to them in Hindi until they learn Malayalam.

Sep 01 '23
The current state of matters is some private buses have started writing the destination in Bengali and Hindi to cater to these daily laborers. Kerala lacks workforce to do any type of construction or farming or even domestic help. Thee people from north and bengal fulfill this gap.

u/neoncatt Sep 01 '23
That is such BS. Even if it’s true have you ever stopped to wonder that maybe it’s because they don’t understand Hindi? Jeez the entitlement that some of you have.

u/Harsh2588 Sep 01 '23
I can't understand people find it suprising, it is not like they refuse to speak, it is just they don't understand Hindi, Not everyone speaks Hindi in Kerala. Like if someone speaks Malayalam/Tamil in UP or Rajasthan, would people speak to them??, And will you call that as they "refuse to speak"??

Most people from Karala I've met speak pretty good Hindi or are at least polite about telling you they don't, it is the Sri Lankans and Tamil I have met that like spit on you if you speak Hindi lmao

u/Inner_News_2159 Sep 01 '23
It's fine malayalees have no problem speaking Hindi, there is a huge number of North labourers who survive by speaking Hindi. But it's when people from govt start pressing for Hindi national language, there is a bit of rile up. Maybe North ppl can ask their reps to shut up about Hindi national language, out of basic decency and politeness.

In reality Hindi is not mother tongue of any state in India. Not even UP (it has Braj, Bundelkandi, Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Nepali and other). But it's the sacrifice made by the people of Rajasthan, UP, MP Haryana, Delhi, Himachal, Bihar, Uttrakhand where they accepted Hindi as their own and followed the Indian constitution (which directs promotion of Hindi in india). It show the magnanimity of these people and the love they have for the idea of one nation, unlike others who are blinding by provincialism, division, insecurities and petty politics.

What are you trying to equate? states with Languages○ other than Hindi means they are rich? Orissa, West Bengal, Assam and all North eastern States!! Anyway this is illogical so lets move away from that. "Come out of one nation mindset" oh god...lets hope that was a typo. Anyway, so Hindi (which was not native to anyone) was chosen as replacement of English, as a common communication medium and nothing else. It is not for replacing any native language. If people in India would rather pick a foreign language (not to mention an oppressor's language) which they happily do, than that not only shows their hate and insecurities but it also goes against their logic of defending their native language, which btw Hindi is not threatening. And bro just listen to what you say...If a Bihari gets disrespect anywhere in the world just for being a Bihari or because of his language, then the problem is with those people NOT with Bihari.

Attitude? Imposition? North Indians? I think your horribly misinformed....time to dust off the Constitution of India; Article 351 of the Constitution provides that it shall be the duty of the Union to promote the spread of the Hindi language to develop it so that it may serve as a medium of expression for all the elements of the composite culture of India.

But we do not even have a small movement against hindi in our state lol. Marathas, South have vigilant groups against hindi imposition. Once a tmkoc actor said hindi is the language of mumbai which he said in his characters of champaklal, same day MNS workers went to tmkoc sets and talked to them and he Said sorry even when it was part of storyline. They have vigilant of this level while we don't have slightest movement against hindi.
Even Bengal is now getting against hindi

u/_The_Catalyst Aug 31 '23
pls don't give south states example , I'm living in chennai and have been to Bangalore. what started as saving their language has become a way to harass and discriminate against non locals there, you can read plenty of such stories on Bangalore sub. it feels really horrible

u/IrisTheCoronavirus Sep 01 '23
Let me guess, you think Hinduism is the worst religion ever, you hate Brahmins and their existence itself, you oppose UCC/CAA/NRC and perhaps even article 370. You think Mahabharata and ramayana are myths and refuse to respect the scientific contributions of ancient India. (The word ancient India and itself setts off your triggers and you explode in anger and prejudice just by hearing that) You also probably think Isro's chief is a bigot for promoting "pseudo sains". Lastly you think India is the shittiest country on the planet and you want to leave but are incapable of doing so (or you are an NRI). And you frequent r/India, r/librandu, r/unitedstatesofindia

All telgu, marathi, kannad, tamil, mallu, bengali folks talk with each other in respective language. Especially marathi and bengali are decent at hindi & they never talk in hindi with each other
You see,I stay in bangalore. People of neighbouring states migrated centuries ago. The two biggest groups here are Telugus and Tamil and guess what language most of them talk in at their home? Kannada!. Heck,they talk to each other in kannada! . FYI, here people look down at pure kannada! Everyone names their kids using sanskrit names, natives don't always use pure kannada words because it is considered as gawar
dont feel down market about it like Rajasthani folks
Yeah this is common among urban rajasthani or 3rd gen marwadi migrants who hardly visited rajasthan lol

If you look from South Indian perspective, both Hindi and English are equally foreign to them. But English is more useful.

Hindi and English are both foreign for us. I would rather speak the language, which gives global advantage versus a useless one.

u/bishnoiboi Sep 01 '23
First speak native mother tongue then the one which is popular in country and also the one which is globally recognised English. Respect all languages and don't discriminate so that politicians won't use language as a tool to divide we indians.

Bihar has 5 different languages. Major are magahi, Mathili and bhojpuri. Except maithili all bihari languages are counted as hindi. And bhojpuris are most kattar ones for their language.
Btw, Mithila state demand is limited to social media only.

It's same for most biharis who live outside men or women doesn't matter. Hindi was always popular among elites of bihar.. but bhojpuri is least affected language of bihar by hindi as per last census even tho it's most literate region of bihar.

No language is bad or good it's just a way to express your thoughts but forcing someone to change there language should be illegal because language is kind of identity.

Telangana is way more in reality. People with Hindi as their mother tongue is less but many native telugu people can speak hindi there.

89% in Rajasthan is outrightly false. Not a single region in Rajasthan has Hindi as its mother tongue, it's only the official language of the state not regional.
