Bodos are older than koch and ahom period but who was Bhaskarvarman? It is fun debating you Indians on history.Brahmins are Migrants only during Koch and Ahom rule...Bodos are older then them.

That doesn't explains that Brahmins came earlier then the Bodos.Bodos are older than koch and ahom period but who was Bhaskarvarman? It is fun debating you Indians on history.
Do you know Xuangzang? Do you know that he visited India in 629-45 ? Do you know that he calls Bhaskarvarman as a brahmin and as a Shaiva? Even Samudragupta in fourth century AD knows a king of kamrupa who has varman as his title. Are you aware that Varman is brahmanic title( as per Shastras, a ruler should use that title)? Where is mention of Bodos or other tribals during that time?That doesn't explains that Brahmins came earlier then the Bodos.
Despite what many people think, the rules of a language – any language – are only defined by how people use that language. When you think about it, that has to be the case: the rules of English are different now from how they were in Milton's time, let alone Chaucer's, and no one has ever sat down and deliberately changed them; they've changed because the language has evolved.
Pullum is far from a triumphalist, British-is-best type – he left the country in the Eighties and moved to the United States to teach; his then wife and their son are black, and he was alarmed by the anti-immigrant "repatriation" rhetoric of the time. (Pullum has never corrected his son's grammar. "It never occurred to me. He spoke London English impeccably from being exposed to it, then switched to American English at eight.")
English is the most important language on the planet, he says – not because it's better but because, by historical accident, it happens to have spread around the globe. "It's not that English has won out because of its virtue," he says. "In some ways, English is highly unsuited to its role; it has 200 irregular verbs, where Swahili, for example, has none. It would have been wonderful to have Swahili as a global language, but it didn't happen."
You would do better to check where the 'lambadis [/I/ lamanis] came from to Andhra. They are also known as banjaras. Amd guess what they claim to be Agnivnashi RajputsThere are people in Andhra called Lambadis and they are "adivasis" even when compared to telegus, they came much later to Andhra.

So, quit 'dropping' half baked facts to appear knowledgeable!
I have met many of them on my tours of Andhra,
Hindi is the official language and not the national language.Another timely article on status of Hindi. Whether it is a national language, official language, or link language?
PIL filed over status of Hindi language
Bengali is certainly not the official langauge of India.Hindi is the official language and not the national language.
This has been stated in a Gujarat High Court ruling.
You are appearing like Sanjay Jha who deflects when confused and devoid of facts to counter.They arrived in medieval age whereas Telegus have been there since ancient times. No one disputes this fact. So as compared to Telegus, they are indeed later immigrants.
You did not answer my question.
Bengalis are intelligent enough to know that and don't claim so.Bengali is certainly not the official langauge of India.
This reminds me of the adage – cut off the nose to spite the face.No one is talking to get back to ancient age.
Are only Indians living in 21st century that only Indians are to respond in call of time?!
What about Chinese, Japanese and Russians then? What about others than?
Many have difficulty to understand Hindi when written in Devnagari script, but no problem to read when written in Roman script, it is simple as that.
We will only learn English to communicate with others in international level, just like the way Russians do. Do only Indians communicate in international level? No.
If Russians can communicate among themselves in Russian and in international level in English then who said Indians to communicate always in English?
Of course we will learn English, neither against English, but hence we have our own rich languages why should use a foreign language to communicate between ourselves?(blind supporters of English education fail to understand this)
Colonial Hangover!!!
If Central Government uses Hindustani in Roman script and State Governments use respective local languages then what is problem?
And for God's sake no English medium education. @Damian, @militarysta learnt in Polish language, yet they can communicate in English.
Your view and you are no wonder of the world!Devanagari script is most scientific script anywhere on earth and hence there is no use throwing it. Thai lanaguage is written in script derived from India and let me tell you, Thailand is way richer than poor hellslike Bengal or UP where there are millions who know English as good as British. A langauge written in foreign script does not make sense if there is already an advanced script.
This reminds me of the adage – cut off the nose to spite the face.
We have a distinct advantage of knowing English.
And it is being advocated that we get rid of this advantage just because the Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Patagonians, most of them, don't know English and only their own language
They can communicate in their own language because they have one language. In India, we have a whole lot of languages and we are not ready to accept any of the language as a sole language of India.
How many Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Patagonians who do not know English hold office in the international field? It is essential to know a language that has universality. Earlier, it was French and not it is English.
Let me give an example.
Hindi is the link language(not the National Language) in India and anyone who knows Hindi can navigate around India with very little problem and can even get jobs anywhere in India.
But if someone knew only his mother tongue, would that person be able to navigate around India or get a job?
Jyoti Basu made Bengali the sole language of instruction in Bengal. The result was that unemployment soared and people were unable to compete on an All India basis. Who suffered?
Go back to pre Independence and even post independence. Because of knowing the Mother tongue, English and even Hindi, Bengalis were in jobs of administration on an all India basis, they were lawyers and doctors by the abundance and educationists by the droves. Why? Other was slow in acquiring these skills.
But today?
Who dominate the Central Services, and other professions?
And why the decline in Bengalis?
Because of ultra chauvinism of Jyoti Basu that we are Bengalis and we must only know Bengali. That bloke ironical as it maybe was steeped in the English language and was educated in England!
On the other hand, in Bengali, when unemployment hit the Bengalis hard, and because of Hindi films, a large number of semi literate Bengalis learnt to converse in Hindi and so can be seen all over India selling flowers, and working in semi skilled jobs. Gujarat, Maharastra , Kerala is full of such boys. In fact, one of my Kerala friends jokingly said that Bengali is the second language of Kerala!
Therefore, there is the necessity to know a language that has international and national interactivity, not only for intelligible communications, but also to acquire jobs, in all spheres of activity and profession.
But scratch the issue of a national language, the backs of each community is up!
The Dravidian Movement is an ideal example of rejection of Hindi as the language that can be imposed on India.
