Over the last year, this community has shifted to speaking Hindi (incl me)

Have noticed this same switch within my team as well. I don't mind speaking in Hindi but it feels rather insensitive towards other team members for whom Hindi is not a first language. I try to switch back to English when I'm talking, but it doesn't seem to stick and the conversation continues in Hindi. So yeah, I don't know how to fix this without offending anyone

Which community are you talking about?

Hindi is a daily thing for me as well IRL but seeing it here in EVERY post is a bit stupid. Especially where the replies in Hindi are to a question/POV in English Why do this?

Haa baat to sahi hai

One of the reasons I like to work in US based startups is this Hindi culture in many indian startups.. it usually starts from the founders itself.. in one of the startups I worked in the CEO would switch to Hindi in between all meetings🤦‍♂️

I agree. I don't have a problem with Hindi nor do I have any local language pride. And most hindi speakers don't do it out of any malickus intent. But they just switch to hindi mid conversation as if its muscle memory. I feel like if you work in any major city your workplace will consist of people who speak like this https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1jYOvSLxwm/
