Boondi raita with grated carrot in it is NOT a North Indian variety and it won'e become one, no matter what. Chaat with grated carrot and peas in it will be hated by people from Delhi. <br /><br />I hold the same view about language and pronunciations. Though within England itself, there are likely to be many accents, it may be a good idea to 'know' (if not use) the pronunciation. :)Pritesh Dagurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468523468719029075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20043527.post-8262509203083318442011-11-12T15:12:42.396+05:302011-11-12T15:12:42.396+05:30Good thought...Good thought...navneethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804495536730986916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20043527.post-61857756541123095992011-11-12T08:03:46.845+05:302011-11-12T08:03:46.845+05:30I do believe you should learn the pronunciation fr...I do believe you should learn the pronunciation from the makers of the language, and hence the brits. I would bangla from a bengali and bhojpuri from a bihari. So, i do guess, i would ape the brit without giving up my cadence.<br />sksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20043527.post-83836569125142929062011-11-11T13:34:37.049+05:302011-11-11T13:34:37.049+05:30Very true BWG.
