      @user-xw9nv9iv1p 4 года назад +12

      @@shree711 what's sense? Just because of his appearance? He was born here, in India..So he speaks clear Hindi, and he was also teaching in some school..Rather it's shameful that many southern states hate Hindi, can't speak properly...Can't understand why people judge others just by their appearance. I don't belong to south, but Im born with dark complexion and curly hair, so people keep on tagging me as Mallu or Telugu..I just get irritated with the same reparative question

    • @shree711
      @shree711 4 года назад +11

      @@user-xw9nv9iv1p Let me answer your point bit by bit.
      1. I can understand why Mr. Alter is annoyed when people ask his question but behind the question is not malice but actually curiosity for the real story.
      2. Being born somewhere has nothing to do with being able to speak a language. The vast majority of western expatriates born in Hong Kong cannot speak conversational Cantonese. There are loads of Parsis who grew up in Mumbai who speak Hindi terribly, cannot speak Marathi almost at all and are losing grip on their ability to speak Gujarati in favour of English. There are other children especially in the posh schools of South Mumbai whose parents hardly speak to them in Hindi and so they don't really end up speaking it well.
      3. If you're giving the example of Mr. Alter, you also need to remember that his brother and his sister as well as his cousin Stephen were all born and brought up in India but none of them can speak Hindi.
      4. His parents obviously didn't speak it otherwise if you look at my 3rd point, his siblings would have learned it too. So since his parents didn't speak it, it's natural to ask how he learned it because he grew up in Landour which was a white neighbourhood and went to English schools.
      5. The debate over South Indians speaking the language is a completely separate debate so let's not mix these two things up.
      It's very clear that Mr. Alter wished to stay in India, become Indian and take a very keen interest in learning the language, which is commendable. But this question is only trying to understand the story behind his language ability due to the reasons I have mentioned above.

    • @user-xw9nv9iv1p
      @user-xw9nv9iv1p 4 года назад +4

      @@shree711 not at all. It's not curiosity but something like teasing or mocking, but when he spoke fluent Hindi, people became quiet..As I have mentioned, he was born in North India and was a teacher, so it's obvious that he will focus on developing his skill through which he can communicate with the public.. Afterwards, he joined Bollywood, where it's highly reqd, though he was always shown up as foreigner..Learning language and achieving fluency isn't a big deal..In corporates also, employees are getting paid more than their colleagues, in the same process, when they have additional foreign language expertise.. but mocking up someone has become a habit or a TRP gainer for many media employees.

    • @shree711
      @shree711 4 года назад +5

      @@user-xw9nv9iv1p Did you read what I wrote fully? I explain why it's not a stupid question to ask. And I know the answers to some of the questions because I know Tom Alter's story but some points I mentioned earlier still remain unanswered and now we will never know because he is gone.
      Anyway, it may be the feeling you got that it was teasing. I didn't get that feeling. I got the feeling that it was genuine curiosity because he does not know Mr. Alter's story well. That's why I gave the explanation above that just being born and living in India alone doesn't mean anything about whether you will speak a particular language well or not.
      Zoya Akhtar is the daughter of Javed Akhtar and yet somehow Zoya Akhtar is very uncomfortable speaking Hindi/Urdu despite having a father like him, living in India her whole life and working in Bollywood on Hindi films.
      It is commendable that Mr. Alter loved India, came back from his studies in America and wanted to be fully Indian.
      No one would mock Tom Alter because everyone appreciates the amazing work that he has done.

      🤔🤔 I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY TOM ALTER would get mad at a VERY NATURAL question. Yes, it could be annoying for him to answer the same question but it is COMPLETELY NORMAL to ask this question because he does NOT look Indian AT ALL. even in films his hindi accent was not normal and his name is not very Indian. SO WHAT IF PPL ASK HIM THIS ? HOW COME he COMPLETELY looks Caucasian?? Instead of clarifying the confusion he is making it further mysterious! That was a very CHILDISH, IMMATURE and IRRESPONSIBLE, HOSTILE behavior by Tom. 😑

      It is ironic that neither the questioner nor Tom Alter were speaking hindi. They were both speaking Urdu. Avoidance of confusing pure Urdu as hindi is essential for survival of Urdu as a language entirely different from hindi. They are totally two different languages of India deserving individual recognition.
