Why No Hindi in Tamilnadu ?

After a while I'm having a topic to pen down my thoughts :-)

I was in a train with my freinds. We had an argument. Yeah Yeah when guys like me argue, obviously a girl has to be involved. It all started like this, there was a beautiful girl. One of my freinds had spoke to her. Another of my freind was telling he was not able to talk to her as she was a tamil girl and did not know hindi. And he was like "Atleast tamil girls should learn hindi".So starts the argument ......

"If tamil girls learn Hindi, you fair handsome guys from north will come n pickup all beautiful girls, then what will we dark guys there do ?" came the question.
And followed a snub that "If you guys wanna flirt with Tamil gals then come to Tamilnadu and learn tamil" and the argument goes on,,,,,,

There are a few misconceptions about why tamilians dont speak Hindi. I'm no big politician or an analyst to dissect the issue, but these aremy humble opinion on this topic.

Misconception 1 : Hindi is national language of India. So everyone should speak Hindi. But tamilians do not do this.
I agree and respect Hindi as our national language. In fact every tamilian will respect Hindi and accept Hindi as their national language. But why are we supposed to learn Hindi. Peacock is our national bird. Does everyone rear a peacock at home? It is the beauty of the bird that India has to preserve, so its been declared national bird. National game is hockey, if national gme had been cricket this is a valid argument and not a misconception.

Misonception 2 : Tamilians hate Hindi and never try to learn it.
Noooooooo ,tamilians like Hindi. We do not learn it because it has not been mandated. Everyone in tamilnadu has the choice of either choosing Tamil or Hindi. In near by states like andhra, hindi is another language taught apart from telugu. But how many of teluguites talk or are able to read hindi properly. In that early age, tamil itself is a big burden to learn. On top of that if kids start learning Hindi it is huge task. And even if you learn hindi, it will be just bookish knowledge which is of no use since they will not have a chance to practice what they have learnt.

But this is true, we guys love our native language, tamil, it has been a very old lnguage with its own beauty. We would love to preserve the beauty of this language as it is. We want to keep the life in this language alive. If we start practising hindi, there is every chance that in the next 400-500 years a beautiful language will be extinct. This is teh reason behind why tamilians are still holding on to this dravidian language.

There is much more politics behind it. Politicians use this as a tactic to be the CMs of the state. But teh underlyiing fact is that eventhough we respect Hindi as a national language, we do not want an equally beautiful language like tamil going extinct.

I have also heard people saying north indians cannot survive in chennai. And another misconception is that even if a tamilian know hindi he/she will not speak. This ia absurd. We do not know Hindi. And if someone know Hindi, they will definitely try to show off and help you. So if you asked someone something in Hindi, and he/she did not reply then he/she did not understand what you asked. We all are normal Humans like you. And we all bond with the name India. So why divide us in the name of Language? Please accept tamilians as they are. And all we look up to is that just as we respect the national language please respect the language we speak too.

As i said earlier tehse are just my humble opinion.
