Rahul Vaidya is one of the Indian artists who never hesitates to speak his mind openly on topics of public interest. He is often seen sharing his opinion and experiences on social media, and one of his recent posts is no different. Taking to his social media handle, Rahul shared his biggest takeaway from football star Lionel Messi’s India tour, which was to learn one’s own language and culture. However, the post didn’t go down well with several netizens, who pointed out that while speaking about learning one’s own language, Rahul shared a post in English.
Rahul Vaidya’s note on social media
“One thing we Indians must learn from Messi: Own your language. Own your culture. English is a skill, not a master. Learn it well, but don’t be enslaved by it. Looking down on your own language is the real insecurity. Global icon. Zero language insecurity,” shared Rahul Vaidya on social media, sparking mixed reactions. There is a section of netizens that agrees with Rahul’s thoughts, while there are others who think differently, and have been trolling Rahul for sharing a post on culture and language and using English to deliver the message.
Internet trolls Rahul Vaidya
“@rahulvaidyarkv, post could also be shared in Hindi. At the same time, it’s important to note that Hindi is not India’s national language. India is home to many languages and cultures. If we limit ourselves to just one language, we also limit our ability to explore, communicate, and connect with the world,” wrote an internet user before adding, “Spanish, for example, is one of the most widely spoken languages globally, used across Latin America, parts of Europe, and Africa.,
Another netizen, with pun intended, said, “Yeh baat bhi aapne English mein boli lol (You said this in English, LOL).” “Sorry bhai, Hindi mei post dalna tha aapko😔 (Sorry brother you had to put a post in Hindi,) wrote another user. “Then why you wrote in English,” highlighted a comment.
