It's honestly tragic how many of you are sleeping on Arjun Rampal's voice.

Some desi dark academia/ desi royalcore songs because we desis NEED the relatability. I mean English songs are dope and all but Hindi? *chef's kiss*

this song brings me so much peace, it just feels like I'm in an astral plane.

for when you want to imagine about your crush in the whole filmy style.

another astral plane song but with passion

shitty movie awesome songs, reminds me of early 2000s

one of the only remixes I like

late 90s? Shahrukh Khan? heck yeah

there's just something about old songs that your mother used to hum

this song is just- *bangs my head into the wall*

oh to dance to this song while your s/o watches you

it's just the songs again

tell me if I should do a part two

It seems like a lot of non Indians are unaware of this but hey INDIA DOES NOT HAVE A NATIONAL LANGUAGE, We have 22 OFFICIAL LANGUAGES and 40 other yet to be recognized regional languages.

Next time dont ask an Indian if they can speak something in Indian language because sweety we have 22, and most of us can speak like 5 of them (I can and that is excluding English, because I grew up around people from multiple states, yes I'm flexing)

You don't have to know names of all of those languages (because that is a ridiculous expectation to have) but here are a few tips:

1) Hindi is not our national language

2) Each language is distinct and doesn't overlap the other apart from two or three words in some languages

3) Languages differ statewise, so maybe ask them which state they belong to and then what language they speak.

Also we have overlapping languages with our neighbors

Punjabi/Sindhi/Urdu - Pakistan (Urdu and Hindi is understood by people of both nations)

Tamil - Sri Lanka

Bengali - Bangladesh

Devanagri script is used by Nepal and India and hence people of Nepal are able to read and somewhat understand Hindi as well over and above their own language.

You travel from North to South in India and the people may not understand each other just one state apart or there are linguistic barriers between neighboring states, and we have acknowledged that difference and frankly I see it at as a strength.

You can make fun of our accent all you want but know this, we speak one language more than you by the time we are 5 and can win against you in a debate in four languages including yours by the time we are 7.

I'm tired of the ignorance, like I said you don't need to know the names of all languages but please know that not every Indian can speak the language that you may have found to be Indian (which is mostly Hindi).

Ask us and we will happily tell you just because you showed us that courtesy.

P. S. I know there are like 1600 languages and dialects in India but I used the constitution for reference.

Additions and corrections to the post are welcome by other Desis (south Asians).
