re: American Yiddishkeit, similar experience?
@steven@todon.nl @kittybecca@masto.jews.international I do my best to speak Hindi to kids my region, because I believe it's an integral part of my heritage and Indian culture. India has 50+ language, and each are integral and vital to the culture of India as a form of anti-colonialism.
re: American Yiddishkeit, similar experience?
@steven@todon.nl @kittybecca@masto.jews.international Yeah, it's very colonialist that if you don't speak "proper" (British) English you must be uneducated or rude/rowdy. (Worse if you're a woman)
I am /proud/ to speak (mostly) Hinglish, I can speak proper English, but I don't like to do so.

re: American Yiddishkeit, similar experience?
@steven@todon.nl @kittybecca@masto.jews.international It's considered "prestigeous" to be able to speak only English. I speak Hindi with a heavy dialect (read: mostly hinglish) and I'm considered "uneducated", I have a university degree so that's false.
Yeah, especially in Gujarat and Punjab, the utter refusal to speak the local language to the younger generations is super common.
