Are we ashamed to talk in Oriya?
Dear Editor
We should not forget by any chance that we are ORIYA and we should feel
proud of it.Last year when I was coming from Bangalore in train,I had a
co-passenger who was talking in Telugu and some times in HINDI.When we
both got introduced with each other I told him that I am an Oriya and we
talked on different matters as formal.But still he was talking to me in
hindi and never told me from where he belongs to.When the train crossed
the border and entered into Berhampur,surprisingly he started talking in
oriya and got down at Berhampur and said that he was also an oriya which
shocked me a lot.Just imagine what would happen to those sons of orissa
who fought till there death to save the oriya language!!!!!!! Also u
know one thing bengalis and south indians are so much dedicated to there
culture and language that they even talk in their local language where
they should talk in english or hindi.For example I work in a MNC where
it is mandatory to talk in English but still the Bengalis used talk in
there local language even if in meetings.So the time has come my oriya
brothers and sisters please wake up and try to save our language.....
