Should Hindi be the official language of India?

Question is not just about which language should NL, actually are we on the right path to bbecoming a developed country. The answer is no.

First of all, Indian constitutional structure is wrong we have 29 different states which are equivalent to 29 different countries similar to countries in the European Union. Most of the EU countries are developed but India even after 70 years of independence still underdeveloped country. Reasons are we could not follow capitalism properly like all developed countries have followed or currently following. We are the only country which directly jumped to service sector from agriculture we have almost skipped manufacturing step due to this most jobs we have are either related to service sector or agriculture when it comes to manufacturing of good products we import them from other countries because of this we have big trade deficit. Now if we want to solve this issue n become manufacturing major we have give good quality industry oriented practical education in this case which language will we choose for education English or Hindi as we know AFA English is concerned our large mass really can't do critical thinking in English as most of our mass belongs to rural. N for Hindi only northern states are comfortable others are not so both choices are wrong whole nation education system. If we really want to follow capitalism in right manner we must get quality technical education in our mother tongue this applies to every state of India, that is what is done Japan, Korea, Germany, France, UK, China. They take knowledge in their mother tongue so they better understands it n their people use this knowledge to create products which create jobs n industries. While in India we people get education in English which only God knows how many of us really understands deeply & result is in front of us we have very well English speaking people in Asia. Even after producing 1. 5 lakh on paper engineers how many jobs were created I have seen people who are engineers, science graduates, PhDs they are filling applications banking jobs, government Jobs. Even after taking technical education why such bad time come to you answer either you did not study or you could not understand what you were taught in institutes. What our graduates do apart from speaking good English can they good technology products, can they create a new research or do inventions probably is the answer is NO. The biggest fault of our education system is that we are producing English speaking people under the name of education which don't have any knowledge to produce anything they are just good at English talking. Our tongues are molded but brains are wasted because of a deficit of education system. The economy runs by-products, services we are good are creating services not products so our youth is getting unemployed. We are importing electronics, technologies, advanced healthcare devices, advanced medicines, fuel, engines, machines, vehicles, bullet trains. Which we could have designed by yourself if our youth had got a quality education in their own mother tongue. We have destroyed our brains of youth by giving education in a foreign language. Look at the area of any European country all are so small compared to our states but well developed than India. We really need to change our centralised system to distributed one. Each state must take responsibility to develop their economy. ONE PARLIAMENT in Delhi really can never handle the burden of 29 states. We need to change our centralised system to states focused system.

Hi, myself Ritu yogi.

Yes, Hindi should be our official language because 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. So we should proud our mother tongue Hindi. Thanks.

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.

When we talk of "Bharat" and feel proud to be a part of one of the oldest and modest civilisations in the world, we need to have a heart full of respect and ambitions for our nation. It is our country which has given us identity, safety and pride in ourselves. When we talk of being a Bengali, a Tamil, a Maharashtrian or an Assamese (for instance) , we are doing nothing but decreasing our own stature. We as Indians, have certain obligations towards India and giving her a national language is one of them. India needs a national language to develop, academically, economically as well as emotionally. When it comes to Hindi, there are many who stand against it, but let us analyse the situation keeping aside our thoughts as speakers of a certain mother tongue or being residents of a particular state. I have travelled far and wide in my country and have found that people even in the state of Manipur are fluent in Hindi. Making Hindi the national language will not decrease the importance of any other Indian language, rather it will give us all a sense of linguistic identity which we require, especially in the education sector where we are forced to learn a foreign language. India has always respected every religion, culture and language. Should we not shun our personal preferences and show an example of unity in diversity in the world! Hindi is a relatively easy language which Indians can easily learn as the second language in states where it is not spoken. Having a national language will show India's strength to the world and give the others a message that we will not compromise even when it comes to communication. For everything else, there are translators!

Yes, I am in favour of this statement that Hindi should be our official language.

Many people are saying that India can be developed by English. But I oppose this statement as we know there was British rule on India for approximately 200 years and they used English then why our India not developed by that time? As we know India is developing rapidly these days. So according to me after sometimes our country will fully developed by using Hindi only. So, I want Hindi be our official.

Thank you.

Yes, Hindi should become the National Language. My reasons for that are quite simple. Firstly that we are from Bharat Varsh and not from India. India is not the Countries name, it was given to us by Greeks and Romans because they could only reach till Indus river which is actually the Sindhu River. Then if we see our History which is as old as 50000 years when Shiva came on the Himalayas and enlightened the people of these lands and from where our actual history starts and not from Indus Valley Civ which was taught to us by the British Historians and seeded in our minds. Our History was Distorted by these people and then Sanskrit too was never an Indo-Aryan Language because there is nothing like Aryan Race. Again a Hoax to divide us. So Sanskrit is as old as 50000 years but then nobody used to write anything but the knowledge was oral it was only around 3500 B.C when our ancestors started writing due to Invention of Paper type materials. Anyways so Sanskrit was an extremely old language and by 800 B.C Sanskrit got simplified into different Languages like Hindi and Malayalam, Tamil etc. But still, Hindi was found out to be an easier language to learn, write and communicate with and a more sophisticated Language. Further, Hindi evolved too and as adopted by many other regions it was distorted like in Haryana where they speak Haryanvi, Bihar-Bihari and etc but they still are not real part of Real Hindi. Actual Hindi was more sophisticated just like what was used in the TV series Chanakya made around 1991 or so. That was real Hindi. But today's Hindi is actually quite disturbing to hear because we included all kind of Urdu and English words into that and somehow they made a beautiful language into a wild Language. Hindi became the second language in Bharat because we are made to hate it in Schools. Everywhere in the World Counties are United because of their one Language Identity and of course Language is a parameter of Unity. We always have been fighting among each other because of Culture differences and more importantly different Languages that we speak. Todays Bharat needs only one Language to remain United or else we would again fight and get divided I am sure of that. Different Languages means different cultures, different opinion and different histories which would surely become a reason of Conflict in years to come and then fight for Independence from Bharat. Why Hindi? Well because Hindi is a direct Descendant from Sanskrit. Pure Hindi is a basic evolution of Sanskrit and that it keeps Sanskrit alive. Other languages might be also children of Sanskrit but they are difficult to be spoken and represent a culture sect. While Hindi doesn't represent a culture sect but represent the Philosophy of Bharat Varsh and is like the eldest Child of Sanskrit. Pure Hindi should surely become the National Language of Bharat because it would help to keep Bharat United for years to come and stop the unstoppable division of this country again due to so many languages and culture divisions. This is my take on this issue.

Hindi should not be the official language of India because India has many diverse countries. India has a different culture and different languages. Generally, Southside Indians do not know Hindi to much even in northeast India they also do not know Hindi. If you speak only Hindi language and you have to work in south side India so you will face many problems. You will not communicate with other people.

In my opinion, English should be the official language of India. Because in today's India every youth knows a little bit of English even they can speak English of the short form. Yeah, I know, my opinion will hurt many peoples. But English will be our future. English is required in every field such as job, sport, school, travel, etc.

English also has negative points.

Older people can't understand English and it is difficult to understand for older women.

It is also difficult for village people.

Yes, Hindi should be our official language. Because there are 22 languages in India.

If we go to other states, we have to learn their language and in all state, they have their mother tongue. So we need one official language which we all understand.

According to me, Hindi should not be official language as of now because of following reasons,

1. As we all know, India is a developing country and our CAD is high. As part of global trade and to attract FDI and FPI, it will be convenient if we use English, which is the official language for many developed Countries.

2. Hindi is not spoken all over India and many people do not know to read Hindi which will be difficult for people to translate the official documents to regional languages.

3. The compulsion of Hindi language may bring social unrest in one part of society.

No doubt Hindi language embraces beauty and we Indians are proud of it. But if we start from north and travel through towards south the use of hindi language goes on decreasing. Especially, the southern states which find it very difficult to speak as well as to learn hindi. They are more comfortable in english as compared to hindi. So currently I don't think that India is state of declaring Hindi as its official language.
