Watch: ‘Every Indian should speak Hindi,’ say Ranji Trophy commentators (and face online backlash)
The commentators called Hindi India’s ‘mother tongue’ during a Karnataka-Baroda Ranji Trophy match.
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

@StarSportsIndia should train their commentators better. I hope there is some action
