Despite living in Ireland for 20 years, Parnell stabber Riad Bouchaker still had such bad English that he needed an Arabic interpreter in court. He also uttered anti-Irish slurs and said Ireland was "shit". Despite this, he was given citizenship. Asked by Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 whether there should be culture and language requirements to gain citizenship, Social Protection Minister Dara Calleary rejected the idea, saying “Don't isolate one case, Ben - don't do that”, arguing that "citizenship is a much broader thing than just language" and that "contribution to the economy" mattered as well.

#WATCH | Delhi | On Marathi language row, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit says, "I would go with mother tongue first because mother tongue is the most important. The other two languages should be your market language. Wherever you stay, learn the local language and your career language... This should be left to individual citizens. All languages of India are good... In multilingualism, number is not important... Language should not be an instrument of hatred or superiority. It should rather be communication. I encourage everyone to learn every language of India, which has such a vast literature and wealth. Though Indian literature is written in different languages, we are one and the same..." (21.07)

#WATCH | Mumbai: On the mandatory requirement for auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers in Maharashtra to communicate in the Marathi language, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale says, "The Transport Minister has taken such a stance that rickshaw and auto-rickshaw drivers living in Mumbai should know Marathi... Those whose mother tongue is not Marathi should learn Marathi, and the government has also given time for this... There should be no controversy in the name of language. Baba Saheb Ambedkar's Constitution tells us that every language, every religion, and every caste should be respected. Mumbai is the economic capital of our country, where 60% of the people are non-Marathi. This is a good decision in the direction of increasing the number of Marathi-speaking people... Some people create controversy over language, and we oppose this stance, but in the matter of learning the Marathi language, our party supports it."

Italy is restricting who can become Italian changing citizenship rules “The policy — ‘Right of Blood’ dates back to the founding of the country, and it meant that anyone with Italian ancestors was themselves entitled to Italian citizenship” “You can only claim citizenship if a parent or grandparent is born in Italy and that relative must not be a dual citizen. Applicants all will also have to demonstrate proficiency in the Italian language. The change was motivated by perceived abuse of the system with the government saying people were getting Italian citizenship as a novelty or for easier travel instead of a genuine interest in the country.” This should be mandatory in America

This lady is named JJ. She is a mystic who teaches people how to speak "Light Language." She admits there is no difference between Light Language and charismatic tongues - they are the same thing. And "Light Language" can even be interpreted (so she says). Much like charismatics claim tongues can be interpreted (but they cannot). The biblical gift of tongues could be interpreted (better said, translated) because it was an actual language. Light Language and charismatic tongues ae just gibberish that means nothing.

Disha Patani's sister, Khushboo Patani, abuses Shri Aniruddhacharya ji. Is this correct? Should we be resorting to such language and abuse instead of a discourse? I guess it's important to understand that there are some absolute pros and cons of the live-in relationship setup, and it depends on each individual and the emotional maturity threshold of the couple whether it would be a good idea or not.. Do tell me what you think...
