I was mocked for wanting to learn Hindi in Tamil Nadu: Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revealed that she was "mocked" in Tamil Nadu for wanting to learn Hindi. "I was told, 'You live in Tamil Nadu... and you want to learn Hindi,'" she said. "Learning Hindi and Sanskrit are perceived as learning some other foreign language...Is Tamil Nadu not part of India? So what's wrong with my learning Hindi," she added.
