Hello.

In my opinion, yes Hindi should be the official language of India because Hindi is our mother tongue so every Indian should have knowledge of it. And also there is the line if we don't value ourselves no one will value us. The same thing is here if we don't value our culture language anyone gives a value. And we represent everywhere as an Indian first then we said about our state so what is the problem if Hindi become an official language. It will show unity in diversity also.

There should be no official language of India as there is no official sport of the country.

In my view, English is already filling the void of the common language connecting north and the south. It has been secondary or tertiary language in administration behind the official language of many states.

Moreover, Hindi does not represent the entire country but only north. So Hindi or any other language doesn't have a right to be the official language for such a diverse country as India.

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.

Hi Everyone.

I think Hindi should be the official language because many of us speak in Hindi as well as we understand. Compare to other regional or an International language most of us get hesitation to communicate with the people who live in the same country. Most of the schools and colleges are teaching in English. Why? we have our own language but we don't give priority. British has gone but they left their language to make it world wide and we are following on their footstep.

Hi,

Subhasis here.

In my point of view.

It will take time but I think let wait until all learn Hindi first instead of making it official language.

Making it National Language will not make difference untill we co up with each other.

Learning Hindi will make you communicate from a poor to rich or any. Which will help you and help them too.

It's not focus to making it official language, we should Focus to contribute something for nation or atleast for 2,3 people.

Thank you.

No, As Hindi is a language that is only at the convenience of the northern states and doesn't take into consideration the southern states such as Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. So a language that almost everyone can speak in our country is english. Because of the british english english was spread all across the country and was used by everyone. So I think english should be the national language and it should be mandatory for everyone in India to be literate in english.

Thank you.

Hi, everyone.

Hindi must be the official language of our nation, many countries like France & China have French & Chinese as their language then why not us & one more thing around 85-90 percent Indians are comfortable with Hindi except very few states everyone can understand & speak well Hindi. That's why I think Hindi is the only language which can easily connect all the Indians & on the other hand, English should also be used in few states in the south.

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.

According to my point of view, Hindi should be official language because India is diverse country and every state has their own language but there should be one official language that should be understood by everyone to communicate between different state or within our country. Though English is also important but in some areas no one know English. So there should be one official language to communicate with people in the state in India and Hindi is understand by everyone.

Hi everyone,

Though being a regular speaker of Hindi and being known to the fact the Hindi is our national language I believe Hindi should not be the official language. We should consider the South Indians as well. Majority of them don't know Hindi. It will divide the north Indians from South Indians and bring more differences. There must be a uniform language with unites us and not divides us. Also, it should be made sure that it reaches the poor ones as well. Thank you.
