Why don’t they get it ?
April 19, 2006 | 6:52 pmAnd, need I mention that a good Majority of People in India ACTUALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND HINDI ? Maybe, they don’t know that many languages beside Hindi exist. Atleast, localize it, like they do for the Regional Servie. Or, use English. Heck, they won’t be doing both, and use only Hindi. Bad…..
Bottom Line: Would a Linuxie like it if Linux was available only in Finnish, because that was Linus Trovald’s native Language ? No. Would a Cricket Fan be happy when commentary is available only in Hindi because some braindead Moron in Government Middle-Management decided all people in India speak only Hindi ? No…
P.S. I don’t mean to offend Hindi or Hindi Speaking People. I only mean to offend those DD Officials[sic].

You have to understand that more than 70% of our
Dev | April 20, 2006 | 4:48 pmYou have to understand that more than 70% of our population understands Hindi better than English.
If majority rules, English commentary would have been out.

well, Dev, Wikipedia says That more than 1080 million people
Yuvi Panda | April 21, 2006 | 9:58 amwell, Dev, Wikipedia says That more than 1080 million people speak Chinese, while only 370 speak Hindi.
So, if majority Rules, Hindi commentary would have been out and Chinese in.
But, why does that not happen? Because, Chinese Programs are on Chinese TV, and Hindhi Programs are on Hindi TV. But, why the hell is a Hindi Program on Tamil/English TV ?
So, my point is not to drop Hindi Commentary, but to Localize it.
