A day after Samajwadi party MLA Abu Azmi was slapped by MNS members in the Maharashtra Assembly for taking the oath in Hindi, his Mumbai store was stoned by the Shiv sena. Anti-Hindi sentiments have had a long history in India and regional language activists opposed to Hindi exist in many Indian state. But the preeminence of Hindi is being challenged whereas English is seen as aspirational.
Either Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka , it happened everywhere. I definitely think that people's representatives should be able to speak the language of the state. But nobody can accept what happened in the Maharashtra Assembly simply because one cannot take law into their hands.
