Tamizh Murdered

When i was in the States, me and my tamil friends, whenever we used to hear Tamil being murdered by the first generation Indians, we used to cry. We used to crib how badly they talk in Tamil. But finally we would console ourselves by saying that atleast they are trying to speak a little bit in Tamil. And a lot many of these first generation Tamil Indians take up Tamil as one of the languages during their bachelors, my cousin took up Thirukkural in his bachelors, and recites more of that than me, which is quite shameful.

But to hear Tamil getting murdered in India, thats a bit disheartening. Some of the first generation Tamil Mumbaikers/Puneikers that i have talked to, simply kollify it (Theres my tamlish for u all).

Recently read an article regarding the death of the regional languages, on account of all the intra-lingua marriages thats happenning all over India. The first casuality by these marriages is the regional language, since the couple take up a common language which is predominantly Hindi/English, and this also drips down to the communication with their kids.

At the end of the day, language is just a means of communication, and whichever language you are comfortable with, better use it. But please please do not killify Tamizh, please.

"Murder" - She wrote

people laughed when she cried
people couldn't laugh, when she laughed
people laughed, when she shouted hysterically
only time people reacted was when she shed her inhibitions
but when she finally scripted a murder that wasnt there, people started leaving
