After AR Rahman, multi-lingual actor Prakash Raj has responded strongly to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks that Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English.

Quoting a media report that had Shah’s statement — “People from different states should speak in Hindi, not English” — as its headline, Raj said on Twitter: “Don’t try to break homes Mr Home Minister … We dare you #stopHindiImposition. We love our diversity. We love our mother tongue. We love our identities. #JustAsking.”

Although Prakash Raj’s mother tongue is Kannada, he has found a space for himself in all the four South Indian film industries, and his Hindi cinema, with his fine acting.
