Notes by Editor – 

In West Bengal, Bengali is also spoken by non-Bengalis. So is easy, based on language to identify between an Indian and an infiltrator.

 

Off the West Coast, a Bengali friend from the Indian Navy could on hearing the spoken words state the private boat team had Bangladeshis on it.

 

The problem arises in North, Central and West India where Hindustani is spoken for e.g. most people use word Pani for water and not Jal.

Read Hindustani is what we speak today, NOT Hindi

 

So, what is Hindustani?

Simply put Hindustani = Hindi + Urdu AND Urdu = Persian and Arabic, even though it originated in India.

 

Impact on non-Hindi speaking states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha

People in these states pick up spoken Hindi more from Bollywood and TV serials/news. Since they speak Hindustani people adopt language thinking speaking Hindi. Mind out Hindustani has no script.

 

In Telangana, Urdu is spoken widely one can identify more by style of speaking rather than words.

 

By speaking in the state language, one can identify an Indian from an infiltrator.

 

Read, reflect and decide. Suggestions welcome.
