Hello myself, Kartik Chouhan.
Hindi is our mother tongue language because I belong to north India but still, I cannot impose the same for all my brother from another part of the country where they belong to south India. It is not that easy for a person to be linguistic-based on common assumptions. It is good for them to respect Hindi but learn based on their interest in staying in their comfort zone but not necessarily to impose Hindi on them. For example, is it necessary for a Brahman to learn all vedic Puran? just because he belongs to the same community. The answer is NO. He should respect but learn according to his suitability. So, to mug up with the very same problem English became a common ground for all of the Indians to communicate not only nationwide but internationally which is the extra plus point because all I can say this is a language which is being taught since childhood to all of us past of decades.

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.

Hello Everyone,
I'm completely opposing HINDI as an official language. Everyone can't accept hindi. As India has more than 19, 500 languages spoken every day. And we can't blindly accept Hindi as an official language just because it has the majority of population talking. If Hindi is made as official language another language will lose there importance and one day they will disappear from us. Every single language will have equal importance. We can't dominate minor population languages. We are Indians we are known for "UNITY AND DIVERSITY". We should never compare ourself with other nations, they might be having there own national language or official language. Hindi is like Aliean language for South Indians like people of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Pondicherry, we can't force them to learn and get adjusted to Hindi as an official language.
If Hindi is made as official language there will be a huge disturbance in the society from other language and there can be varition in national intergation. And is completely unacceptable from other states. So its better that if we don't copy everything from another country. Let's be what we are in official language matter.
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.

Hello everyone.
My name is Sandeep Kumar.
Yes, Hindi should be the official language in India, because most of the total population are spoken Hindi and should speak Hindi because of mother tongue. If we will distribute India in northern and southern states, we will find maximum no of people who are spoken Hindi but minimum people speak Hindi in southern states.
As we all know that Hindi is in 5th language in the world. If the Hindi gets the official language in India, many uneducated persons can keep their talk in any office because most of all regional language is connected with Hindi, I think that all most people can speak in Hindi and keep the situation in front of officers, and also I accept English but besides Hindi, English should learn, because English is the common language in the world.

Hello everyone, A very good evening to all of you.
This is Ajay kumar, today my topic is should hindi be the official language of India.
In my point of view yes, it must be our official language to speak in our country. As we all know that India is a country of diverse land and there are many languages which is being spoken across our country. For the better communication, we all have to accept one language that is hindi as an official language. Many peoples feel uncomfort in expressing their views and ideas in english or other language as they express better in hindi. As we all know that different countries have different official languages and they feel proud to speak their own language but why we do not so? by speaking one language also helps to fasten the growth of the country.
Thank you for reading my opinion.

Hi.
This is your friend Mo Irfan.
We know very well, which official language is best for our country, Hindi language should be the official language to our nation, I want to give some own opinion.
The Hindi language is more understanding language to our country which is very demand to our society if we have a lot of knowledge about English but if we want say something then automatically my tongue releases hind but if we want say something in English language so fast of all we will have to carefully ourself then start speak in English front of anybody, if we want that my country is not developing that my country should be developed country to from of all other countries we will have to speak Hindi, writing Hindi, reading Hindi, teaching Hindi, talking Hindi even though we live anywhere we have to speak in Hindi in the whole world, therefore, all other countries people that the Hindi language is very famous language, my mother tongue come the fifth number in the whole country but if we talking about population 2nd number why why why we will have foreword our language because of which we feel comfortable in any place like this my Status, my country even then in globally place.

No, Hindi should not be an official language as per in North India people can talk in Hindi but in South India, many of the people are of the village and tribal areas and these people can't talk in Hindi.

It should not be an official language it should be one of the international languages because recently I went to Dubai I just loved the country and their culture and their language so in our India Hindi language should be an international language it doesn't be an official language.

In my point of view, India has different type of culture and language such as Kashmiri, Punjabi, Hindi, Gujrati Marathi, etc. But in India only one thing who bound us that is HINDI. In our country, maximum people speak and write in hindi language If hindi language make an official language that could be easly communicate with government and understood the government policy. Therefore, it is needed to we have one language to promote our country in all over the world as a Hindi for HIndustan.
