Wow the supressive attitude of extremists in India, whom I believe to ben in minority, is highly visible in this post. What about the muslims of Hyderabad, Lucknow, Dehli (ever heared of Mirza Ghalib?) ... and Kashmir your so called atooot ang! The supression of Urdu language was prevalent during pre partition in British India by the hindu extremists. Many consider these urdu-hindi movements as one of the initial seeds of discord among muslims and hindus, which eventually lead to creation of Pakistan. I thought after partition that was stuff of past as India has rightly included Urdu, spoken by 50 million+ In India, as one of its many official languages. But just like in US even after 100+ years since the end of civil war and abolishment of slavery, you can always find some confederate suporters in the southern states.
