I lived in Delhi for a few months and visited a lot of places around the city. Almost everyday I got asked by people why I speak in English and haven't learnt Hindi yet. I get excluded from meetings just because I didn't speak Hindi. I then learnt a few phrases and spoke in broken Hindi while I stayed there. And everyone seemed delighted to see someone from the outside atleast TRY to speak their native language. This is exactly what the native people want. Not an imposition, but atleast a EFFORT.
The statement said by Zoho ceo was obviously not in good taste, I get it. Most of the language imposition actually come from local political parties, youtubers and rich people trying to gain points by addressing a local issue on social media. Unfortunately, many common people like us blindly follow them and make it an issue everywhere. Not just southern states but even in the north.
If you want a peace of mind, just ignore these random posts from influential people and continue your day as usual. Speak whatever language that works for you. Use english in a common forum and just ignore these news.
