Maintain the dignity of Odiyas
Posted: Jul 29th, '09, 09:41
Hi everybody
I am Dr Nihar Ranjan Ray working in Ahmadabad at FRHS as an senior research officer.
I have visited most part of India. Sorry to say but I saw there is little recognition of Odisa and Odiya.
First of all they pronounce it like Orissa and oriya. Everytime I insist on the pronounciation to the person does the mistake.
Even I have observed that odiyas don't utter with pride that they are odiyas. I know odiya people are very intelligent but the problem is that they are not well conversant with Hindi they are not extrovrt enough to focus there presence. I am pondering over this issue since years... my elited and enlightened odiya brothers & sisters can you suggest some ideas to alleviate the situation. I think it is the time you can do something at your level in locality
