"Have To Use Translator": Puducherry Governor Kiran Bedi On Hindi Row | Read
Puducherry Governor Kiran Bedi on Sunday waded into the row over Hindi as a national language, urging people from the southern states to learn the language in order to connect with the Government of India. Ms Bedi, a former IPS officer from North India who described languages as a unifying force that enabled emotional connection between people from different parts of the country, also said "I have to use a translator all the time here" and that non-Hindi speakers who learned "our language" would not "feel the diminishing of their cultural value or heritage".
