Hindi vs English

Sir, — Arcot Easwaran has claimed that when the whole world is switching over to English, Mr. Vajpayee has shown disrespect to it by addressing the U.N. in Hindi ( Sept. 29 ). Leaders of many countries such as China, Japan, Russia, France, Germany and Spain address the international forums in their own national language. Do they all disrespect English by doing so?

Divya Tyagi,

Delhi
