Ashwin's Hindi Remarks Ignite Debate: A Commentary Clash
Deccan ChronicleRavichandran Ashwin, the celebrated Indian cricketer, recently sparked a heated debate with his comments about Hindi not being the national language of India. Following Sushil Doshi's critical response, another renowned Hindi commentator, Ravi Chaturvedi, weighed in, adding further fuel to the fire. "Ashwin is right in saying that Hindi is not our national language, but the way he has said this in a taunting tone has not gone well with me," Doshi remarked. Chaturvedi continued, "We respect Ashwin's achievements on the cricket field, but it's important for public figures to be mindful of their words, especially when discussing sensitive topics like language and identity. Ashwin's remarks have opened up a conversation about language and identity, one that requires careful handling to ensure it fosters unity rather than discord.
