Owing to the recent controversies revolving around the imposition of Hindi over the country, English has been proposed as a neutral alternative. This has opened the proposal to attack as being entangled in the intellectual shackles of the coloniser.

I propose we should just select French as the national language and be done with it. Would be fair as everybody would start from scratch; well, except for some people in Puducherry. It is also a fairly international language and enables access to even more international markets combined with the existing English competence.

En raison des récentes controverses entourant l'imposition de l'hindi dans le pays, l'anglais a été proposé comme une alternative neutre. Cette proposition a été attaquée comme étant empêtrée dans les carcans intellectuels du colonisateur.

Je propose que nous choisissions simplement le français comme langue nationale et que nous en finissions avec cela. Ce serait juste car tout le monde repartirait de zéro, à l'exception de quelques personnes à Poudouchéry. C'est aussi une langue assez internationale et elle permet d'accéder à encore plus de marchés internationaux, en combinaison avec les compétences existantes en anglais.
No, it gives people who watched Game of Thrones a starting advantage. People who have not watched the show already are at a disadvantage because they cannot understand references from the show so make it French only.
How free are you?
I also don't have much to do - is this the recession coming?
National language should actually be Python, because everyone is a snake in this country.
Οι προτάσεις σας σημειώνονται, αλλά θα ήθελα να προτείνω μια άλλη σπουδαία κλασική γλώσσα.
Who is a bigger troll: the OP or the moderator for making it featured?

"entangled in the intellectual shackles of the coloniser" . Wow. Just write a comment with some woke buzzwords and the moderator will make it featured, not matter how ridiculous.
Actually featured it for sounding like a right-wing troll who was being creative in their trolling unlike the usual attempts... We love a good troll on either side of the spectrum, as long as it's creative And we also love triggering you :)
You think those are buzzwords, devoid of any meaning?

Which law school are you from, just curious?
No buzzword is devoid of meaning, it is the context and usage that turn them hollow.
French? The National Language of India? I think not. We are not a nation of cowards! #rememberwaterloo
