Very good. Chinese leaders speak in Chinese, Russian leaders speak in Russian, French leaders speak in French, etc.

It makes sense that Modi has chosen to speak in a native language. Not only is it good for national pride, it also makes it easier to avoid misunderstandings since people are naturally better at talking in their native languages.

You may not have used it in that sense, i said it is considered.... and there is already a stupid north vs south conversation is going on .....

And friends this should be the last place on earth to have such a conversation.....

It's too late to stop this conversation, our izzat is on the line now.

We dont hate.. we only look down on people who make india backward i.e from the hindi speaking bimaru states

Stop this shit right now....i am from south and statements like these are not good.

But there is a small risk of Translation.....

You would have been happy if Modi spoke in english, isn't it @ Sriram?

All important stuff like this is checked and double checked, not only at the time but afterwards too.

Imagine if Hu Jintao was forced to speak in English for an important UN meeting, he would always be on the back foot. In fact as far as I know, Hu Jintao has never even spoken a word of English before.

I got your point.... But Speaking in a meeting and having a conversation is different.....

Exactly ! Hindi, along with other scheduled languages of India is a beautiful language. Unfortunately, for a nation that has chosen english as THE lingua franca , there is a perception that Hindi speakers are less educated, less polished and undesirable for nation building. Blame that on our ex-masters who made english the language for elites - a 'morning-after' we are carrying on till date.

Jayalalitha has asked Modi to make all sheduled languages as official languages of India, once this happens the BS from hindi speakers begging us to learn their mother tongue will stop

what is your gripe with learning Hindi and become one with the national character.

There is always some risk in translation. Modi with English as 3rd to 4th language have better chances of avoiding / reducing risk of translation by using help from a professional translator.

After all it's always good to thing and speak native language and leave translation to experts!! You end up with double gain ..national pride and polished interpretation!

At least I DID NOT insult the South or its languages.
If you cannot understand a decent post, I pity you.

Ignore this idiot @Sriram , stop replying to him ...

Just try to imagine Hu Jintao having a conversation in English.

Nothing would even get done.
