On displaying shop names and directions in native languages and being stubborn about answering only in native state language
Promoting tourism to your own state/region/city is not the responsibility of only the state govt but each of us. Why?
#1. If you feel proud of your own origins/roots/culture then there is no better way to promote it than by inviting guests(tourists).
#2.Tourism is amongst the biggest forms of revenue for the state.
Now if you understand these simple reasons, its easy to undstd why you mst communicate with tourists/guests in a common language. So making non-natives feel welcome is the best way to promote your own unique culture/identity. By being stubborn about not answering in a language other than your own native tongue, is it pride or a mere haughtiness which we are hoisting? If a Marathi speaking person in Mumbai
If a foreign visitor was spotted in your locality, dont u feel pumped up about trying to answer them in fluent English. Or would you be obstinate and try to speak to the goras-goris in fluent Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Hindi or Tamil(or some other)? No right? Then why would you want to be obstinate and expect a Tamil visitor to Mumbai to understand your directions only in Marathi? or vice versa? Why do we become such hypocrites with our own people when we would try to show off our English speaking skills to our best had it been a European? Is is coz of the skin color....hahah..now - WE - the Brownies are not only being hypocrites but also racists within our own lands.
Maybe we cant go back and change our country and our state - but I have 322 FB friends - even if half of them share this we can propagate to a 1000 in no time..... instead of stupid Youtube videos of animals being funny or kids made to dance...these are the things at least which we should take it upon us to spread out. Building a better nation is sometimes as easy as using the share button. Can you do that?
