Many people know Hindi and it's now commonly used by everyone and everyone aware of it so I think it will be better to make it a national language also if someone doesn't know and people who know but they can't speak and response in Hindi so I think for them it will be better in my opinion that we should make textbooks in Hindi and teachers that's means our education system should also be in favor of this and tell teachers of every school whether it's Hindi medium or English medium school private or government or Anganwadi whatever it is but they should be taught in Hindi then only we can make Hindi our national language cause it should start with our Indian education system.

Hindi must be the official language of India and it should be an alternative to English just because English is a foreign language who ruled us for hundreds of years. It should be like in France where after the French Revolution, French was made the official language although it was spoken in Paris only while 60% of Indians still understand Hindi.

Absolutely not. India is known for its diversity and all religions and languages are treated equally but we have to think more than that national language should be one that everyone can speak and understand otherwise any outsider asks what is your national language, do you know this? How embarrassing it would be. If you are treating everyone's language equally, then why give importance to that one language and make it the national language? Every local language should be respected.

Hello everyone!

According to me, it will be good that our country will have a common language in the future because some countries like the US have a common language. If someone speaks in Hindi the north side people only understand and in Malayalam the Kerala people only understand. So common language for our country will be to understand the speeches of the PM like other high officials. This is my opinion if there is any mistake forgive me. And the common language will be very easy to learn for rural people and also the language will be an Indian language.

Personally, I think that I would like to choose Hindi as a common language because very much people know Hindi.

Hi all.

As we all know India is a sovereign socialist democratic country. India is a diverse country, people of different castes, creed, and regions live under the same roof different people from different areas speak different languages. South Indians speaks Tamil, Malayalam, Telegu, and Kannada while North Indians mainly speak in Hindi. Some North East states have different languages so in my perspective, everyone has their own right to speak and express themselves in their own language.

It's purely politics, But from the bottom of my heart, I would tell one should love his mother tongue, now comes the official language policy. I would tell that has further made us distant in terms of feeling superior or inferior. I fail to understand the mix of blended languages used by a foreign language is Hindi. Does it belong to Any state in my Mother INDIA? then why this? Never you can impose anybody on language, let the need arise, let individuals decide, what is the literacy rate in India as of now?

First, let us make India 100% literacy. , but surely imposing a language in a different state will cause an unhealthy environment, So Hindi should not be made compulsory.

For a human being, a language is a tool of effective communication. All over the world, human beings are biologically the same but still have thousands of languages. It is very hard to find how so many languages evolved but the point is we have a lot of languages. Hindi is one of the thousand languages. It is totally nonsense to declare one language as the official language of India because India is a very diverse country. Local language should be respected and recognised as the official language for that region. The concept of a National official language is not possible in India.

In my opinion, Hindi is the official language of India because Hindi is a very important language. In every part of the language, Hindi is involved And learners can use it to learn through Hindi.

People are saying that South Indian languages are different from North India. Hindi is dominant in North India. But most people seem like have forgotten that there are 4 cardinal directions. So taking into the matter of cardinal direction languages spoken in east-west and northeast is not Hindi. Coming to national language India is a country with more than one language. So giving importance only to 1 language is not at all acceptable, irrespective of the majority.

Hindi should not be the official language of India because India is a diverse country where people follow different religions and cultures. If we notice closely every region has their own language and that's the beauty of India. People from different religions, castes, and creeds live together. But, if we try to make Hindi our official language it somehow makes other languages inferior and as a diverse country, we should not do it as. Every language is important for their native people.
