India is the country of diversity. Diversity doesn't need to be only in religion cast or region but can also in language. If Hindi is made the national language then I mean that all official papers, notices and also all government tests will be in Hindi only. But then this means that we are neglecting all other languages all the other regions. India is a sensitive country. If we don't respect the customs of other then it can cause riots in the country on the basis of language. This happened in the past also due to the same reason. Many of my friends said that countries like the USA are more developed because they have only one national language. I want to just remind them that they don't have many language speakers. But in India, we have not one but many languages. So instead of making only Hindi or English our national language, we should make all our main languages as a national language.

I think Hindi should not be official language because if Hindi will be made official language people will not care about English language and we know that very well English is more important nowadays.

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.

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.

Hello everybody, According to my point of view, Hindi should be the official language in India, because in most of the states in India people speak in Hindi language to express themselves. We know that in every country, the language in which most of the people speak is become their official language, like 'German' for Germany, 'Italiano' for Italy, 'Russ' for Russians etc. But India has no official language, here most of the people speak Hindi for local speaking. Although English is must be needed to keep relation with foreign countries but as most of the people here speak in Hindi, and most of them don't speak in English, so obviously Hindi should become the official language in India. - Thank you.

Hi.

India is a colorful country because there are different types of folks and festivals so as languages. But Hindi is one the popular language among all because 70% of the people speak, understand and communicate in Hindi because they belong to rural areas. On the other hand, English is also very popular in India as well as in most of the countries so if we have to billed relations to other countries we have to learn English as well as other languages.

But if I conclude so I will say that as we are Indian so there must be any Indian language should be the national language.

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.

Yes, Hindi along with English can be the official language of India. Official language doesn't mean it is the national language of India. So people don't need to worry if they don't know Hindi. Hindi is spoken by almost 45% of the total population of India. Hence, it is the most widely used language of India. Many south Indian languages also take a word from Hindi language. Atleast, it can be our official language.

As a nation, we need a language that can unite us and we can understand each other in a better way. This can be done by the Hindi language.

Thank you.

Suppose I know only one language, so in order to go other part of the country or state of the country. I have to learn English, and English is a language which we have to learn by giving money to school or institution because every government schools teaches in their own language. I think one who. Who doesn't know how to talk in English, suppose to stay in their respective state. There is no link language, today I am in other part of country, here auto driver or grocerer know their own language, and I have to spend my whole life for this central government job. How would I survive. I feel crying and I cried. What to do. In my own country I feel like foreigner. So government should take initiative to teach each and every Indian to learn either in Hindi or English to be mandatory. I think it should be Hindi because form this we known to be Hindustani. Let learn as link language. So we can move to any part of India happily and make India World strongest economy. People make good economy of any country Not English language. For learning English whole nation have to learn but for Hindi at least half nation required. After learning language give money as reward.

According to my view, Hindi should be compulsory language in the Indian offices Because in India many people don't know English and many other languages, for example, a person of Haryana don't know south Indian languages and a people of South India. Don't know Punjabi Haryanvi, therefore, Hindi should be compulsory make official language o India.
