Vannakaaam Saaar! How could one wage war against foods? Idli, sambar is a part of the diet of many from AFSPA land who have migrated. However, the point to notice is that migration from the NE belt is mostly in highly skilled jobs, apart from some ladies working in massage parlors. Also, knowing or learning Hindi does not provide the migrated AFSPA land people to get a job, it's English Saaaar!Finally I have observed that some people non Hindi people from some far off remote corner of the country seem to be waging war against Idli Sambar.I understand that there is nothing to talk about their own vernacular so they tend to eulogise Hindi.
There are only guns and bullets were they come from and learning their own mother tongue cannot provide them with jobs in AFSPA land.So they migrate in huge numbers and have no alternative to learning Hindi, since it is easier for them than learning Tamil, Kannada, Telugu or Malayalam.
Mother language matters to everyone in the NE, however Hindi takes precedence over own vernacular when it comes to communication between different tribes and communities. That's what keeps communal harmony. One language binding all. Hindi is not mandatory in schools in NE, however it is as popular as is English. Even state language is not compulsory in schools. And as about migration, this is seasonal, during campus placements. And Tamilnadu is the least preferred destination. Most preferred is Bangalore, then Hyderabad and then NCR. As about learning Tamil, Kannada, Telugu or Malayalam, why don't the preachers start learning Hindi? Would be nice.
