'Learn Hindi': Woman Confronts Bengali Passenger In Kolkata Metro

A woman took issue with a Bengali passenger, who spoke her native language instead of Hindi, on a Kolkata Metro train. "This is not Bangladesh," she was heard telling the Bengali woman in a video that has since gone viral.

"You are in India," the woman said. "West Bengal is a part of India, you must be learning Hindi. You can speak in Bengali but not in Hindi despite living in India?"

The Bengali woman responded in her native tongue, "I live in West Bengal, in my homeland, not yours. How can you stay in my state and insult me for speaking in Bengali?"

This fuelled the argument further, with the non-Bengali woman pressing the issue, "The metro is not yours. West Bengal is not yours."

It got even more heated when the Bengali passenger hit back, saying, "The metro is mine, so is West Bengal. The metro here was made using the money of taxpayers in West Bengal, not by the tax paid by the people of your home state."

As the argument escalated, the non-Bengali woman continued to challenge the Bengali passenger's use of Bengali, repeatedly asking, "You are an Indian, right? Then why don't you know Hindi?" This only angered onlookers, with several passengers stepping in and urging both women to calm down and de-escalate the situation.

However, the confrontation took a more sensitive turn when the non-Bengali woman brought Bangladesh into the discussion. "You are not in Bangladesh," she said. This comment seemed to further rile up the other passengers, with several confronting her for her perceived disrespect toward the region.

The video has since gone viral, sparking a furious reaction across the internet.

A user commented, "This is because we Bengal are so timid and tolerant towards every insult made to us. Had this incident occurred down the South, they would have shown her the right place. Hell with her arrogance. This was possible only because she was in Bengal."

Someone said, "These people have become Hindi preachers and are speaking English themselves, what kind of people are they? What difference does it make in which language you speak? This lady should be booked for disrupting communal/lingual harmony and peace."

“Now they are speaking English in India. What kinda woke people are they?” a comment read.

This incident follows a similar controversy in Bengaluru, where a local man confronted a non-Kannada speaker for not learning the language despite having lived in the state for over 12 years. He accused the individual of being "disrespectful" to the local culture and language, saying, "You want a job here, you want a salary here, but you don't want the language here." He added, "At least learn Kannada, okay? This is Bengaluru, not Mumbai or Gujarat."

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said. The United States and other western allies also stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an ...
