I was surprised to see FeedDemon showing Hindi text for L. K. Advani’s blog. I remembered that the blog was in English when I had first seen it and posted about it here.
It seems he has switched to Hindi. A bad choice to say the least. English is the lingua franca of the web and there are a very large number of netizens like I who are uncomfortable with or illiterate in Hindi. Mr. Advavi has just lost a reader.
I also noticed that none of his Hindi language posts have any comments. All of his English language posts have comments, large numbers of them.
Sad.
Mr. Advani, if you wish to write in Hindi by all means do so. However you must ensure that there is an English language version for people like I who admire what you stand for and what you are trying to do for this country. I wish to read what you have to say. Don’t shut the door in my face.

Hello Kurkure,
That he is. A Hindu I mean. One of the best, I might say. However I still think he needs to use English, even if as a second, “translated”, language because the internet uses English. Is you look closely you will notice that his English language posts have hundreds of comments but there are none on his Hindi language posts.
If Advani wants to reach out to the internet masses he has no choice but to use English, the lingua franca of the internet.
