Dude, forget about others, nobody is forcing to you to learn or not learn something. Its your discretion, if you learn it, it does no harm. And why would we expect somebody to learn our language , if they dont learn they are the losers, its just this versatility and value added and nothing more. You say somebody forced you. So did somebody come to you and said that you will be hanged if you dont learn Hindi? Nobody can do anything to you unless you allow them to do. To promote ur language doesnt mean, you should stop learning something else. If you can speak somebody else's language and if he cant , that means you are much more able than what the other person is. And is it written somewhere that nothing is gonna happen if you dont learn Hindi? And I am not aware of any such rule which the Indian govt. passed at any time that only Hindi should be spoken all over in India. If you know of any such instances, I would definitely be enlightened and be sincerely thankful to you and if they did I would just ignore such ordinance for its soo stupid. And btw am a south indian too.
