Mizoram Hindi Training College at Durtlang Vengthar
Aizawl, June 14: If Hindi has anything to do with Indian nationalism, the growing Indianess among new generation Mizos can be witnessed from their eagerness to learn Hindi.
Twenty years ago, an average Mizo hardly spoke Hindi. Its importance was not realised then. A few people, who spoke the language then were those who served in the Indian Army.
But things have changed. ”Young Mizos are eager to learn Hindi, at least spoken Hindi,” said HK Liansawta, an ex-serviceman, who has more than 100 students at his Hindi learning school.

Kolkata: You talk to decently dressed man in English. Does not bother to reply.
My 8+ years experience in the South: You talk to any properly dressed man (shirt may be in or out, formal pants, and mostly sandals) in English, he replies politely.

Hindi stems from Sanskrit and Sanskrit is the earliest attested members of Indo European language family. Along with Hindi, other Indain languages like Urdu, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi belongs to the Indo European languages like English, German, French,Italian, Spanish, Russain and Portuguese.
Ka sawi tum tak chu – I studied Hindi till Class 8 in Mizoram, and the level was equivalent to Class 2 Hindi in Northern India. I never studied Hindi again, but I can speak as I was in Delhi for years. (Now, do not say that I should know Hindi – I do not – my father is an Assamese, and his MT is Assamese)
Much later on in life, I studied German and Spanish, and my biggest regret was not having learnt to read Hindi or understand the grammer. The Hindi grammer is similar to the above mentioned Indo -European languages, and I would have learnt the European languages faster than I had, had I learnt Hindi. I still struggle cos the new languages I have learnt have no similarity with English or Mizo grammer…
Now that the youth is exposed to many job/ studies opportunities, and will in the future, I think it is important that one learns Hindi.

Correction:Now that the youth is exposed to many job/ studies opportunities, and will have more opportunities in the future. Time will come when English is not the only preferred working language I think it is important that one learns Hindi.
