You can't simply stick to a single language where there are multiple languages in a country like India. Language is something which is used to convey our thoughts, both the speaker and listener should be in the same state when they try to share their thoughts. But most of us in the south don't know Hindi and we are not even ready to learn it. I don't think so Hindi is more superior than other languages.

The debate regarding the status of the official language of India is an ongoing process. One group of people demand Hindi to be recognized as the official language and another demand English. The Modi government is giving stress in promoting the Hindi language across the country. Even though this is being criticized by certain political parties in Tamil Nadu, the effort has gained a bit of success.

Hello.

The Hindi language gives our nation the name of Hindustan. So we should be proud of the Hindi language.

Our Constitution has also declared Hindi as an Official language of India in year 1950.

Hindi is our mother tongue of all Indians. We all respect to our mother tongue. Hindi is easy to learn, speak and understand.

So, According to me, Hindi should be the official language of India.

Hi All,

I am Ajit D. Kadam,

No, Hindi is not our official language, because in our country all the state has its own official language for Ex:

In Maharashtra, the official work is going to be on the Marathi language as Marathi is a Local language in Maharashtra. Similarly, other states have its own Local language that's why Hindi is not our official language in all over country.

Thank you.

Hindi is not the mother tongue for anybody in our country. Every Hindi speaker is a bilingual person with a specific mother tongue as Magadhi, Bhojpuri, Avadhi, Brajbhasha, etc. These people should promote their mother languages rather than promoting a hotchpotch language created by Muslim rulers by mixing farsee, Arab, and Turkish languages with the then prevailing spoken language of Delhi.

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,

In my opinion, Hindi should not be an official language in India, because there are lots of people in India who can't speak Hindi, there are many different cultures and different languages like Tamil, Punjabi, Urdu, Kannada etc in India, as we all know India is a diversified country, so Hindi should not be official language. But we should proud on the Hindi language.

I am an Indian and I am proud of it. India has a variety of culture. Hindi is our national language but our official language should be English as the language itself creates many riots among Indians. Please people we need peace don't fight over these topics rather we should get united to represent our India in this world. So that our country will soon turn into a developed nation.

Hi, friends.

I agree with Pratishtha that for our development English is necessary.

Some people are saying that when British are there there is no development but I think they don't know that the development starts at that time only.

The educated people like Vivekanand, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, etc.

They are a well knower of English because of them only we are free in our nation.

I agree with above line. Around 40-45 percent people in India speak Hindi it is highest percentage of people who speak Hindi. It is also rich in culture and heritage. If we really want to protect our culture then Hindi be made an official language. Every nation has its own official language. If we want to make our identification in world community then we should promote Hindi.
