Should Hindi be the official language of India?

Hi, I am Dhiosmati Devi from guwahati (Assam).

My opinion is totally against it. Hindi should be used as a regional language not as an official. It may create some problems in the field of foreign relation, a diplomatic relationship which is most important part for our country to growth development. If it does not happen then our country will go back to the 14th century in the field of economic, political and social growth. For example,

India has a good relationship with America. But if Hindi registered as an official language, how can the Americans delivered their thoughts. Indirectly, Indians must be dependent on the English language. It will arise other many difficulties. Although India already has to face many problems. So it nice makes it clear that English should be an official language instead of Hindi without any hide and seek.

It can be the official language of India but it requires huge time to make it official. I can say for our generation it can't be the official language but from next generation, I can be official and this will take time.

India has around 200 languages in 33 states.

And we have to select only one, those persons who understand Hindi will be beneficial for them if we make it official.

Every person brought up with his/her mother tongue and they learn English side by side so that they can communicate in future. If they can learn English then they also can learn Hindi.

French and China has their official language as French and Chinese respectively and most of the youth of China never learn English due to which they can not apply for the foreign jobs but in India youth learn English they apply for the post of CEO like Sunder Lal Pichai (google ceo) and it is also beneficial in cricket also, most of the country talk in English only and Indian easily understand their plans but Indians like dhoni instruct the teammates in Hindi but sludges the opponent in their own language (English).

According to me, Hindi should not be official language as of now because of following reasons,

1. As we all know, India is a developing country and our CAD is high. As part of global trade and to attract FDI and FPI, it will be convenient if we use English, which is the official language for many developed Countries.

2. Hindi is not spoken all over India and many people do not know to read Hindi which will be difficult for people to translate the official documents to regional languages.

3. The compulsion of Hindi language may bring social unrest in one part of society.

Hi, Myself Krishna Verma. And my point of view is that if Hindi will be official language then it will be somewhat beneficial for people who face difficulties to convey their ideas, view of perception due to lack of communication skills. But when we look for overall development & for the long term, the English language provides better chances in vast level. People can explore themselves in vast level and communicate with anyone regardless of any foundation.

No. Enforcing Hindi on non-Hindi speakers would result in chaos. Everyone is proud of their own mother tongue. Hindi people should shove it up their asses only.

Hello, myself Aman. I want to say that Hindi should be our national language because there are many people in our country who can work hard, have good ideas, have good knowledge but they don't know how to speak English so they can't able to communicate with higher authority. There is a communication gap among these people with higher authority but those have capacity to deal with external world must know English and to serve our Country Hindi should we our national language.

No, it should not be official language because India is mixed up of many tribes and communities every tribe, community speaks their own language from where they brought up. Hindi is speaking only in few states of the country but most of the other states speak their own communal language. So, it will be difficult for non-hindi speaking people if it will be made as an official language.

Hindi should be one of the official language of India along with other spoken language in India because In many states especially in South India most people either don't know hindi or face difficulty to speak, If Hindi become the only official language of India then it will reduce the freedom of speech in many parts of India.

Hindi should not be the only official language of India. The official language status should be accorded to multiple languages. If it is not possible, then English should be the only official language. Education helps a child grow up and especially our higher education courses are very important. Most of our higher education courses are in English medium. Technically, English should be our default official language. If we consider the notion of identity, we must understand that Hindi is not the identity of person from non-Hindi states. Therefore, officially all languages should be nurtured equally by the GOI. The GOI should not indulge in micromanaging or manipulating language used in the everyday private chats.

No, it should not be. Because Hindi is not easy to write, understand. It is quite tough. Majority of the people didn't speak Hindi. India is a United nation. So we should speak a common language so that it is easy to communicate with others. And to show the quality of unity.
