Why doesn't anybody speak the local language anymore?

For all those ranting about why South Indians can adapt English which is a foreign language, language of the colonizers but not Hindi.

Hindi is very much a foreign language. It is believed to have been introduced into India by Muslim invaders. It's a sanskritised version of. Persian and Arabic. Indians who speak Hindi are believed to be sons and daughters of slaves of Muslims. Hindi did not originate in India. Our South Indian languages are way older than your beloved Hindi and Hindi has no superiority of any sort to be imposed on us.

We've had enough slavery with the English and learnt their language which is fortunately very useful to us. We don't want to be colonised by Hindi speakers again and we won't be.
