it should be shame for India that their own language is treated as foreign language in their own country, and a foreign language is given priority and easily understood. we should proud of our own language and culture instead of ignoring it.

You need be pragmatic and not be beligerant about so called own lnguage and culture. In fact, English has enriched itself by adopting words from different languages. The words like Pucca, safari. Purdah have been borrowed from other languages. Then what is wrong if Hindi adopts foreign words that are popular. The terms like Gas, cylinder, University etc are well understood and these must be incorporated in Hindi.

Incidentally, I feel that English technical terms should be accepted in all Indian languages for the sake of simplicity and uniformity. Why do you wish to use 'sakshya' for evidence. Why in chemistry you want to translate 'latent heat' as Gupta Ushma.

Or 'Lohpatgamini' for -----

I think both Hindi and English usage of terms used here will enhance our Hindi knowledge and also will not add to any confusion if an alternative in English is provided. If possible schools and colleges and universities should take it up.

All words that are popularly used by Hindi speaking people should be treated as Hindi words. Thus University, school, park, musuem, cinema, station are Hindi words. The technical terms as used in English should be adoptd in all Indian languages. This will ensure uniformity and same technical term will be be used and understood throughout India.

In fact many of our words have found their way into the English language - Bunglow, Janta,Bandicoot , Jute etc etc. So they have been influenced as much as we have been ...

to walk with time we should learn all languages which are used in our day to day life. we should focus in learning our regional language to communicate with locals, Hindi to communicate in India and English to communicate with foreigners.

Well communicating in English is not just limited to foreigners...we do communicate in English with fellow Indian. However, yes even i try to learn ..the language in which ever place i go...I had to learn Bengali (my mother tongue), English,Hindi, and Oriya in school, picked up a little bit of Telugu..while in Hyderabad..and now I understand Marathi.

Learning more languages is a plus point. It not only makes the communication easy in new places, but builds relationships. Just say, "Soukyama Thambi" in Tamilnadu. And see how the person goes out of the way and renders all the help you need.
