A video has recently gone widely viral on the internet, showing a woman chatting with her mother from the ‘North’ as if she were a friend, and her landlord aunty from the ‘South.’ Amid times when conversations about language often trigger heated debates online, a simple Instagram reel has struck a chord with netizens.

Two women from different states strike up a fluent, casual conversation.

The video, which has now gone viral on the internet, showcases two women from different linguistic backgrounds bonding nicely with one another.

The text overlaid on the video read, “When India fights over language, but my mother and Tamil landlord aunty are vibing like best friends.” The post was captioned, “North meets South = pure aunty content🤣 Language barriers fade away with a heart full of love and acceptance ❤️ Grateful for people who welcome me with open arms.”

Netizens react to the viral video.

One user reacted, “This is the India we love to see.” Another expressed, “People should learn from these aunties.” A third person wrote, “Love has no language.” One more wrote, “So wholesome and real.” A comment read, “This is how unity looks.”

The caption went on to address the ongoing language debate more directly. It read, “It’s sad to see that many people feel they’re being forced to speak Hindi, when it’s really just a way to communicate better. People often think Hindi is only a North Indian language, but even in northern states, people have their own mother tongues and regional languages. Hindi becomes a common way to connect, just like English.” She added, “What surprises me is that we proudly learn and speak English, a language that spread during colonial rule, but hesitate to learn an Indian language that simply helps us understand one another. I understand it may sometimes feel like forcing, and that is completely wrong. No one can force anyone to speak a particular language, but not everyone can learn every language.” She also emphasised, “Learning or speaking Hindi doesn’t mean leaving your own language or culture behind. It’s simply a way to connect better among Indians. It is wrong to force a language on anyone, but it’s not wrong to learn a language that helps us understand each other and stay connected. That’s all. And even if someone doesn’t want to learn any language, that is totally fine. No one should force anyone. But please don’t spread negativity and hate among each other. If there is a real connection and bond between people, even those who don’t speak the same language can still communicate. That’s what I showed in my reel. In the end, it’s all based on intentions.”
