Dear Editor,
Long back, we use to joke about the use of Sanskritised Hindi by All India Radio by saying: “Samachar mein Hindi suniye.” Modi did exactly the same. His speech at the UN could not be understood by the majority in the UN. Most of the Indians were equally at a loss with the high-flown Hindi he used. A simple Hindustani would have been more
effective.
