I speak Hindi, and I have studied in the south. I think the best argument to lance this boil is this
“Let’s speak Tamil or kannad. These states are doing supremely better than all of the Hindi speaking states. Obviously language has something to do with our success, and it would be wrong of us to keep it to ourselves when it should be used to help the nation.”
This short circuits enough wires, and is polite enough to not engage the depressing flame war that is sweeping such discussion.
It’s not logical, but most of this argument is not logical, the proof of which is too much for the margins of this comment.
