Over the last year, this community has shifted to speaking Hindi (incl me)
I don't have problem with Hindi But it isn’t the first language many prefer in this vast country Please let us (Hindi speakers) know, we will drop our assumptions Thenks
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

I have made a point to ask, it sounds very trivial but could be a nice change for those who don't want to speak Hindi

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?

Glad people understand my pov
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
