Why Is it so hard to make indian friends here?

lol, thread can go on for months, no problem. If u think the topic has been beaten to death, you are free to move onto other threads and ignore further responses on this thread. Let it be open for whoever still wants to discuss or debate.

 

yet another suggestion. Sometimes, the thread doesn't attract enough participants b'cos it's in the wrong forum. While this forum appears appropriate for this thread, it would 've attracted ppl of y'r wavelength had u posted it in the community chitchat forum.

Girls, chill out. it's weekend. :thumbsup

I am a Tamil and can understand Hindi but my spoken skill is poor. Whenever i see Indians I tend to speak in English because it's not easy to judge their mother tongue. I don't get offended if Indians speak to me in English.

But one time i met a couple of girls in the temple and me being new to the area introduced myself in English and during the chat i mentioned i am tamil. The moment i ended the conversation and getting out, one of the girls said that " Wow, These tamils are headstrong and don't learn the national language and speak English to Indians, when will they change?" I was extremely offended by this statement and felt better off not being their friend.

I have friends from different states of Indian and different countries and none them gets so rude at others for not knowing a language that they consider as so important.

I believe it all comes down to who they are and what they know. When i was in Bangalore for a while i made a friend from UP, she is the sweetest person i have ever met, she would translate every bit of the conversation that goes on in the group so that i won't feel alone. There were Kannadiga girls who taught me how to use simple words and sentences for everyday conversation and were sincere about it.

If someone wants to talk or not talk based on the language that I know then probably I might never hit it off with them...
