Is she Tamil or North Indian?
Tamilians expect non-tamilians to speak in Tamil in their state, but some of them speak Hindi when they come to Maharashtra. I know some of them, they are the biggest Hypocrites. My tamil boss lives in Mumbai for so many years and he don’t speak Marathi, but he/harami speaks Gujarati with our HR manager.
And Many North Indians are Arrogant [please read the answers of “A (Arrogant) Hindi Speaker”]. They will not speak in Marathi even if they know the language.
Even some other communities in Mumbai don’t speak Marathi. One of my office colleague who is a Gujarati, born and brought up in Hyderabad shifted to Mumbai 3 years back. She told me that, when they were in Hyderabad they used to speak Telugu at home and now in Mumbai they speak Hindi. Is Hindi official language of state of Maharashtra????
We are not against any community..We are against the people who don't respect our language and culture..
