I would not prefer working in India in a state where nobody understands or speaks Hindi.
And those mammoth cutouts of Rajnikant and Jaylalita would scare the hell out of me

Yeah!
And i would prefer not to work in a state where many employed people canot speak English.
and a Volatile area where there are frequent Hindu-Muslim clashes would be a "No" to me.

Sidenote : And yet you would prefer working in a country outside India where no one knows Hindi. Just double standards.

I am not commenting about IT since i donot know the situation in Tamil Nadu now.
But to people of other professions, i would recommend you to move to Bangalore since it offers more recognition / Salary than any part of TN.
I made this mistake in 1994. Instead of looking for a job in B'lore, I looked for a job in Chennai. Chennai at that time had one of the lowest salaries in India. The only advantage then was taht chennai was the hub for recruitment to the Gulf/ SE Asia. Besides my home town was the same distance wither from b'lore or Chennai. B'lore is more cosmopolitan and offers better salary and climate. Real estate is also booming. Auto charge is one of the cheapest. Also you can get away in B'lore by knowing only Tamil. A decade back, people tamils in B'lore feared retaliation due to the Cauvery water sharing dispute but i guess that fear is long gone.

That was a good one by TKNOTE: Wakeup guys - India has more languages than just Hindi alone. The fact we have so many jobs (from offshore outsourcing) in India is due to our English language capabilities. Not because of Hindi.

To clarify my stance - it is about staying in India and still be not able to communicate in Hindi that freaks me out. I do not expect anybody in Canada to speak Hindi with me.
Hindi is our national language, and it is my right to be able to communicate in my national language. - atleast in metropolis. I am not talking about some rural portions in India - However idealistic it may sound.

Meghal,
I can speak, read and write Hindi and I have nothing against hindi personally.
But imposing a language on other minority linguistic groups never worked in any country. We don't want India to go the way of erstwhile Soviet Union which forcibly imposed russian language on other smaller linguistic groups. You know what happened to Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
English is the common business language spoken in India and I would prefer things to be that way. Already the Northeast India has several seperatist groups. Forcing anything on minority groups wouldn't work for India. We should be lucky that the South Indians (telugus, tamils, etc) are very patriotic even though they elected regional parties into power once in a while.
Even in the UK, in Scotland and Wales, there are government funded programs to keep the Scottish and Welsh languages alive.
