Did this lunatic commentator just say “Every Indian should know Hindi” ? What on earth do you think you’re @BCCI ? Stop imposing Hindi and disseminating wrong messages. Kindly atone. Every Indian need not know Hindi #StopHindiImposition #RanjiTrophy #KARvBRD pic.twitter.com/thS57yyWJx

For the uninitiated, here you go again: India DOES NOT have a national language, and you can't impose a language or a culture on anyone. If you still do have any doubts, read up on the Constitution and not lousy WhatsApp forwards #StopHindiImposition #RanjiTrophy #KARvBRD https://t.co/Iwv37kW1yA

@BCCI
I hear from my friends that the commentators in the #KARvBDA match are trying to impose Hindi? Quoting " Hindustan mein sabko Hindi seekhna hai, Hindi humara maatru bhasha hai"?
If this is true then you guys need to sack them right now. This is unacceptable!
