Should Hindi be the official language of India?

Hi! Friends,

Myself Rachana.

First of all, I want to explain the 'OFFICIAL LANGUAGE ' the official language is that language which is used by the citizens as well as the government officially.

I don't agree with the point that Hindi should be the official language of India because,

1. India is a country which consists of many different cultures and it respects all the cultures equally.

2. Hindi is mainly spoken by major parts of our country but it is not used in the whole country.

3. India is the country of diversity. It contains different cultures, caste, tribes and also language. If Hindi is made the official language of India, then it will affect the diversity of India.

4. Hindi should not be the national language of India as a study has an important role in the life of every child and all the higher studies are done in English. So, it will create a huge obstacle in the studies of the students.

Thank you.

Hello All,

I think Hindi should be made as the official language of India as this is a language which most people speak. It will definitely help people;

1) who goes to different cities to study or live in.

2) it will definitely remove fear or settling in a different city.

3) will help people to unite more as people talk in that language and communicate more in the language they are comfortable in. If everyone is on the same page - people can communicate better.

4) In India itself, people are fighting for their languages and its but obvious - how can they think of peace with other countries?

5) I feel more comfortable getting settled in foreign countries as they have 1 common language "English" (Not talking about all countries but at least - Australia or Canada) - with keeping Hindi as National Language - will give the same feeling to sustain.

Yes. The Hindi language should be the official language of India.

Because in India, mostly, people were comfortable in Hindi and they were mostly communicating with Hindi.

Why should we make English language or other language officials?

In India 7 out of 10 people can understand and speak English but what about English people? Are they understand and speak Hindi? I think 1-2 of them are able to understand speak Hindi.

So we have to proud to speak in Hindi.

Hello Everyone.

This is Yukti Varshney.

I would like to appreciate the dogma of participants.

In my opinion Hindi should be the official language of India, As we know India is Hindustan so Hindi is the identity of India, although India is diversifying countryside, so it is very much difficult to adopt all language, everyone will favour to his state language, it's better to make one nation one language Hindi should be the official language of India. Children are unable to speak write read and understand the Hindi Language which is shameful being Indian. Hindi language must be mandatory in the office so our coming generation must be able to focus on Hindi. People ignore Hindi as it makes their standardized lower which is not true actually. People make their standard by speaking English. Most of the people focus on their state, not the entire country. If we following the same phenomenon for long do very soon India will loose it's identity of Hindi.

I strongly believe It should be an Official language of our proud nation.

Hi, I am Dhiosmati Devi from guwahati (Assam).

My opinion is totally against it. Hindi should be used as a regional language not as an official. It may create some problems in the field of foreign relation, a diplomatic relationship which is most important part for our country to growth development. If it does not happen then our country will go back to the 14th century in the field of economic, political and social growth. For example,

India has a good relationship with America. But if Hindi registered as an official language, how can the Americans delivered their thoughts. Indirectly, Indians must be dependent on the English language. It will arise other many difficulties. Although India already has to face many problems. So it nice makes it clear that English should be an official language instead of Hindi without any hide and seek.

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.

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.

Hello! Everyone.

About: Should Hindi is an official language?

According to me, That the people who belongs from the south. They will be want to speak HINDI because the cultural effects.

So, I am from SIKAR (Rajasthan). It is the Shekhawati region. As you know that the language of there is MARWADI. Approximately few families in our city will speak Hindi.

So, we discuss our topic.

As you all know that, In whole INDIA all the citizens speak Hindi because our India is Subcontinent which is different from physically, geographically, and culturally that's why they can't understand Hindi clearly. But approx all the Indian can understand English clearly.

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

Thank you! & have a good day.

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to start Group discussion.

As our topic is "should Hindi be the official language of India". Yes, it should because there are many students who have knowledge but they are lacking to show there knowledge oming to English only. They not feel confident in English that's why there knowledge get spoiled. Companies want parrot who speak fluently even if don't have knowledge and not suitable for the post.

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.
