INDI is like the Aurangazeb of Indian languages. The Mughal emperor was ruthless when he aggressively stretched the borders into the Deccan and beyond. History tells us that both have been expansionists and steamrolled rivals into insignificance. Delhi's noble intention has been to 'unify' India that lay 'tukde-tukde' by a legion of regional languages. With a unifier — that's Hindi. For southern states, Hindi had already ceased to hold the old charm. They have been busy exporting techies, docs, nurses, and teachers in huge numbers to foreign lands and earning dinars and dollars (ignore Trump's new remittance law). Job markets in Mumbai and Delhi no longer fascinate them. And for the hardcore Bollywood fans, Khans have begun to speak in Tamil and Malayalam in the new digital era. The two prime reasons to try out Hindi have thus died a natural death.
