Hua vs. Hui

 I
left India 10 years ago and I often feel that my
Hindi is not as good as it used to be and I do
feel sorry for not being able to enjoy books and
articles written in Hindi.
However, reading this article in your paper
about PU VC resigning and seeing the poster that
students were carrying I felt much better. Are
they really student and in university to study?
Can't believe that coming from a Hindi speaking
state they are writing on poster "Loktantra ka
jeet hua", it should be "Loktantra ki Jeet Hui".
God save Bihar and its glorious institutions.

I
totally agree with Mr. Kumar about
the students' lack of interest in
studies and their remarkable ability
to follow their so-called,
equally-uneducated, leaders like
blind sheep.
I do, however, feel somewhat
compelled to comment on Mr. Kumar's
statement that after 10 years out of
the country, he has trouble with his
Hindi or his inability to enjoy
books and articles written in Hindi.
I have been out of country for close
to 34 years now (after graduating
from Patna Science College) and I
still can read, write, speak and
enjoy articles written in Hindi with
equal ease. This, after living
through the years (the '70s and the
'80s) when there was no Internet and
the phone calls to India through
AT&T used to cost close to $3.00 per
minute. For a student like me
earning a minimum wage of $2.10 at
the university library, back then a
trip to India was possible only
after a gap of 3-4 years. Yet
somehow, Hindi through remained a
vital part of our family. - Vinay

It’s almost 10 years for me also,
but I think these protests are not
by the students but by the “would be
politicians”. - Ratnesh Sahay -
