Hi everyone,

According to me, Hindi should be the official language of India to promote our country. Every country has its own official language like German, English, Japanese, Chinese etc. But some Indians feel shy to speak Hindi and feel proud to speak English. Every language can be learnt by interest but our Hindi language should be spoken in our country. We should support and feel proud on Hindi. As a point of education and conversation in other countries, English should be known but it is not mean that we forget our language. However, there is many regional languages in India and they don't know how to speak and read so there is a solution for it by starting the Hindi language as a mandatory subject in schools of those states.

In my opinion, Hindi should be official in India as other countries and we should feel proud on Hindi.

Thank you.

No, Hindi should not be the official language because a special language as to be made has an official language, Tamil is the first language spoken by the people in the earth.

Hi everyone, I think Hindi should be the official language of India. For eg. Hockey is the national sport of India but about 60% people like and play cricket. Like this only Hindi is our national language but of us speak English. So, Hindi should be the official language of India.

Hi, everyone.

Hindi must be the official language of our nation, many countries like France & China have French & Chinese as their language then why not us & one more thing around 85-90 percent Indians are comfortable with Hindi except very few states everyone can understand & speak well Hindi. That's why I think Hindi is the only language which can easily connect all the Indians & on the other hand, English should also be used in few states in the south.

Hello Dear Indians,

In my opinion, Hindi should remain the Official Language of our country. Since time immemorial, Hindi has been the main medium through which people communicated ideas with one another. If we turn the pages of history, we will see that most of our freedom fighters spoke for Freedom in Hindi. Many of the slogans were made in Hindi.

Some regions may not agree to this, but it may be because of their insecurity to lose their cultural language. But it can't be denied that HINDI is an easy-to-learn language and it UNITES India.

According to my point of view, Hindi should be official language because India is diverse country and every state has their own language but there should be one official language that should be understood by everyone to communicate between different state or within our country. Though English is also important but in some areas no one know English. So there should be one official language to communicate with people in the state in India and Hindi is understand by everyone.

Hindi cannot and should not be 'The' official language of India. Firstly, there are 22 other Indian languages which are equally Indian as Hindi. Secondly, other than a few North Indian states people have other native languages. Thirdly, Hindi is as non-native to me as English as I do not find common ground with it. My suggestion is to let English be the official language as it is neutral and a level playing field for all Indians. North Indians should make the effort to learn English snd stop being under the misconception that majority of Indians speak, understand or even like Hindi.

Hi friends. ,

I would say Hindi won't last for long. As many of our countrymen don"t understand, and don"t speak. Everyone is developing, why should we Indians believe in our past. Don"t live in past gone are those days, now Hindi won"t work. I believe English in Hindi accent should be our official language. Think of present, the past has nothing new to say.

Hi friends,

Yes, Hindi is an official language of India to connect all people at a place. There are many other languages which are being spoken by the people in India and it is very difficult to convey all people at a place so this is the best way to connect all people at the place using one particular language.

Thanks.

Hi,

I do believe in patriotism and the respect of our culture, Hindi is already our national language making it our official language will only make things more confusing around us, there are people (especially the south Indians) still don't know Hindi. Hindi is only used when you have to deal with work or communication to the local people especially in the rural areas other than that there is no requirement to know Hindi. With the use of simple English language, you can live and survive in India. Hence there is no need to make Hindi as our official language it's already our National language and let's respect it and be proud of it.
