Eating out, poor hand hygiene and erratic weather may be among causes, say medics
Even in north and central India, in the so-called Hindi heartland with several dialects of the language, the spoken language is Hinglish (a mix of Hindi and English) while there are parts of the country where Hindi is hardly spoken or understood leave alone being the language of choice. The efforts and the thought behind promoting Hindi in the country have never been unacceptable to anyone, but the Home Minister tweeting about Hindi being the only language that can unite India is misguided. Shah's pitch for linguistic unity has expectedly and ironically divided the public, with Twitterati and commentators giving reactions on either end of the spectrum.
Almost a score of Indian states including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and all the eight north-eastern states would harbour anti-Hindi sentiments if the language was to be imposed on them. That surely can't be the purpose of a unifying language. In fact, a look at Twitter's trending hashtags, including #StopHindiImposition, suggests that Shah's comments may have actually united a diverse India -- if only against the levy of a single language.
