Should Hindi be the official language of India?

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, Hindi should not be an official language in India. Because whenever we see the education system in India day by day people prefer More towards English medium school because they know the importance of English in future when somebody took admission in IIT's and IIM's he carried on his study in English language just I want to say one thing if somebody does his preparation in English and after becoming a public servant it will not easy to him to do his official work in Hindi.

It's also true that in North India The level of Hindi speakers is too much but in the South, we rarely find someone who speaks Hindi.

Indian is the country from there there are so many languages and in the 8th schedule, 22 languages have taken place in the Indian constitution and in India judiciary work always in English.

There are so many study apps who are only in English the reason behind it people like to deal with English.

So to see the interest of people English should be the official language of India.

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.

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, Yes, Hindi should be the official language of India because.

(1). Official language does not refer to the language used by a people, while official language is the language used in government (i.e court, parliament. Etc). And in India's court and parliament, Hindi language is used.

(2). Each state of India has it's own mother' language. So we need one official language which we all understand. And Hindi language is widely used or spoken by most of the people (or 80% of the people) of India.

(3). India is also known as "Hindustan" and the word "Hindustan" indicate that the India is the land of Hindi speaking people even the people are educated or not.

(4). The Hindi language is at a fifth position.

Good morning gentlemen.

I study the views of many of you and on that basis and my own views I concluded that Hindi should not be the official language of India because making Hindi as an official language would suppress many other cultural languages such as marathi, tamil, telegu etc. People should learn many languages just to make their stand in the world. As the one from you said that English is a common language in the world and we have to learn and study it. As one guy can speak Hindi, can also speak some other languages, but the fact is we never try to learn it, we and our government have to make such a environment that is suitable for every language.

The second point comes that many of us are not able to understand any other language, this is not a big problem, the technology has made it so simpler, just use it for the sake of someone.

Hi, friends as the topic of discussion is Hindi be the official language of India.

First of all, I want to tell exactly what is the official language. The Official language is that which is use by the government, public and citizen for the official purpose, official paper, official meet and interaction between public and government official and mostly in education. Therefore official language has an enormous impact on economic, social relation.

Now, in my opinion, Hindi should not be made the official language of India as of now. I like to dictate the following reason.

1. As of now, we are a developing country, due to which we need to take help from other developing country and most of the developed country has an official language is English. Therefore as a developing country, we need to improve our relationship with other developed countries for bilateral talking, discussion. Therefore for sharing an issue, we need to communicate in English.

2. India is a diverse country, where there is a different culture, different language, different religion due to which making Hindi as an official language is a big issue. Most of the region in India does not know how to speak, write Hindi. Therefore if Hindi will make an official language than there will be chaos.

Apart from this, I want to inform that our neighbouring country China use only there language mandarine. But we can not follow them. Because there are develop the country and now they do not need help from others. In this globalised world, they can survive very well, as we know they are 12 trillion dollar economy after the USA.

Finally, I want to tell that if one day Hindi will become an official language I will very happy after becoming a developed country. Thank you.

India is the only country of Hindu religion as we go in any foreign country for any kind of assembly related to religion so if English will our official language so there will be no specific identity of us there. So, we should proud of our Hindi language.

Thanks.

English is a Universal Language. So if we had to go to foreign countries to study or get a job, how are we going to communicate with the people there. Also, India is the second-largest English - speaking country in the world. Hence if we disregard English, many people belonging to India will be affected. Making Hindi as an official language would suppress many other cultural languages and regional dialects such as Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam etc. You can't make a language official only because it has originated from our country. The Old was History. Now is the future. Making majoritarian language the national language is unconstitutional. In the long run, it will be harmful to our country. The minority who don't speak Hindi would protest and a Civil-War could take place affecting many lives and degrading our Peace.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, there should Hindi should not be an official language as India is a diversified country and there are people with different culture and different regional languages. If there will be a single official language than it can create some difficulties and all the people will not be comfortable. For example in south India people speak Tamil, Bengali, Kanad and they can find difficulties if Hindi will be the universal language.

But at the same time definitely, we should consider our Hindi language secondary to the English language as Hindi defines our nation OK nationality and we should be proud of it. English is just a language we should judge a person by his language. But nowadays especially in the metro city people perceive that those who speak English are well educated, have a high standard of living and they are very knowledgeable but this perception right as English is just a language.

So the conclusion is that there should not be any official language for our country but we should respect our Hindi language and we should be proud of it.

Hello, it's Jyoti. I'm completely against to this topic reason being India is a country which has a number of languages. People from the different state have their own language. Thus India is not dependent on only one language. For eg, if we assume Hindi to be our official language it won't work because a person from belonging from south India will not be able to understand. See we should not be diplomatic that both Hindi and English will work yes English being a common language not only for India bit for the whole world is the only language for an official matter so that everyone can understand it better. Being an Indian we cannot give preference to our Hindi. Because India itself has many languages then why only Hindi.
