Ever wondered, why don't we have bi-lingual immigration forms in India. It is shame for the country which boasts of being multi-lingual status but can't even print Immigration forms in at least one local language say Hindi. Flights have become multilingual with signs on aircraft and entertainment content in many languages including Hindi but sadly not the immigration forms. Hindi is just relegated to celebrating Hindi Divas. It is also sad that country's high, mighty and influential have simply ignored this anomaly and not taken much desired action of printing such forms in Hindi as well as English. Assuming Hindi is not permitted for filling the form, at least instructions could be printed in Hindi so that it becomes easier especially for elderly who can read instructions in Hindi and write in English.
