I did not know that in Hindi they use the wrod though. What about the Assamese

You r right Mr. Chetia. But why should we look at the Brits. Lets see any Talk Show by the established National TV Channels. They never use "Tum" or "Tu". "Aap" is what they invariably use. Of course deviants r the channels like "V" or "MTV". But I believe "NE TV" is no " V" or "MTV".
