South Indian Man in Canada Faces Racism from North Indian Colleague Over Hindi Proficiency

A Shocking Workplace Incident Highlights Regional Prejudices Among Indians Abroad

A South Indian professional working in Canada recently encountered unexpected racism—not from a foreign national, but from a fellow Indian. The issue? His fluency in Hindi, or rather, the lack of it.

What Happened?

  • The man, whose native language is Malayalam, was reportedly mocked by a North Indian colleague for not speaking Hindi.
  • The aggressor questioned his cultural authenticity, implying that he had “forgotten” Hindi after moving abroad.

The Larger Problem: Internal Racism in the Indian Diaspora

  • This incident reflects deep-rooted linguistic and regional biases that many Indians face, even outside their homeland.
  • The expectation that all Indians must know Hindi disregards India’s linguistic diversity, where several regional languages are spoken by millions.

Reactions from the Community

  • Many South Indians living abroad have expressed solidarity, sharing similar experiences of discrimination.
  • Social media platforms are now flooded with discussions about the need to respect India’s linguistic diversity, even outside its borders.
