uni,
I meant if Hindi can connect a good majority of those who can understand/speak their local language only (say Bhojpuri/Awadhi/Maithali) but cannot understand/speak Nepali then may be (i repeat: may be), Hindi qualifies to be one of our official languages. But as I said, a thorough research should be done before we can stand firm on that conclusion.

I have nothing against Hindi long as it can connect people and make them easier to work together and run the administration or parliament. Don't think of India (the big bro you abhor hahaha) when you think of the language (Hindi), if that language serves our people(nepali) better.
