Lyricist and writer Manoj Muntashir has strongly condemned Yograj Singh, former Indian cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, for his controversial remarks regarding the Hindi language. In a recent podcast, Yograj claimed that Hindi is a "woman's language" and lacks the strength and assertiveness he associates with Punjabi. This statement sparked outrage, with Muntashir taking to X (formerly Twitter) to call out the remarks as offensive and ignorant.
Yograj Singh’s Controversial Statements
During the podcast, Yograj Singh stated that while women speaking Hindi is acceptable, men should prioritize speaking Punjabi due to its perceived stronger aura. He remarked, “Mujhe toh Hindi aisi lagti hai jaise koi aurat bol rahi ho... Jab aurat bolti hai to bahut accha lagta hai, jab mard Hindi bolta hai to aisa lagta hai ke kya bol raha hai ye kon aadmi hai.” His comments extended beyond language, claiming that women should not be made heads of households as they would "destroy it." He controversially cited former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, stating she "destroyed the country."
Manoj Muntashir’s Sharp Response
Manoj Muntashir did not mince words in responding to Yograj Singh’s remarks. On X, he criticized Yograj, stating, “Yuvraj Singh made the nation proud, while his father, Yograj Singh, seems determined to create a name in disgrace... This fool insults Hindi, the world’s third-largest language, and the brave women of this country.”
Muntashir further emphasized that both the Hindi language and womanhood symbolize resilience and strength. He added, “स्त्रीत्व और हिंदी, दोनों ने हमें सहनशक्ति सिखाई है... I wish to say a prayer for this troubled soul in Punjabi: ਜਲਦੀ ਠੀਕ ਹੋਵੋ (Get well soon).”

औरतों की भाषा हिंदी”, दुनिया की तीसरी सबसे बड़ी भाषा और इस देश की वीर नारियों को अपमानित करने वाले इस महामूर्ख को ‘थप्पड़ की भाषा’ बताने वाला… pic.twitter.com/ZP6R7qSaJm— Manoj Muntashir Shukla (@manojmuntashir) January 13, 2025
